Does it make sense to rent a car in Podgorica?
Inside the city, no — Podgorica is compact and taxis are inexpensive. A car becomes valuable the moment you want to leave the city: Lake Skadar, Niagara Falls, the coast (Bar, Budva, Kotor), the mountains. For day trips, it's the most flexible option.
What to check before booking
Confirm deposit method (most rentals require a credit card), insurance scope, mileage limits and pick-up location. Airport pick-up is usually the most convenient, but city-center delivery is widely available.
Driving in Montenegro
Roads to the coast and toward Lake Skadar are well-maintained. Mountain roads can be narrow — drive cautiously, especially in winter.
