Car rental at Tivat Airport: your DOT car outside the terminal

Tivat Airport (TIV) is on the coast, about an hour and 15 minutes from our Podgorica office, so here we bring the car over in advance based on your flight number. It's best to book at least a day ahead — that way the car is guaranteed to be ready when you land.

The airport and DOT — questions

How far ahead should I book for Tivat Airport?
Ideally at least 24 hours ahead, as we bring the car from Podgorica. For last-minute needs, call or WhatsApp us — we can often do it the same day.
Where will the car be waiting in Tivat?
In the car park outside the terminal. We follow your flight and adjust the hand-over time if it's late.
Can I collect in Tivat and return in Podgorica?
Yes — it's a common plan for guests arriving on the coast and leaving from Podgorica Airport. The terms for returning in another town are shown in the booking.
Which documents do I need at pick-up?
A driving licence and a passport or ID card. The deposit depends on the protection plan — with Premium protection there is none.
