Montenegro in numbers — for drivers
Six numbers DOT repeats to guests most often at hand-over. Remember them and your trip will run without fines or surprises.
Built-up areas, open roads and the motorway. Dipped headlights are required in daylight too, and speed cameras usually sit at town entrances.
The limit is so low that the only safe rule is: if you drive, you don't drink. Fines for going over are steep.
The only toll, on the Podgorica — Bar route. The Smokovac — Mateševo motorway section is currently free.
Paid zones in Budva, Kotor, Tivat and Bar, paid by SMS or at a meter. Old towns are pedestrian zones.
Rough 2026 price. Stations are plentiful on the coast; towards Žabljak and Durmitor, fill up in good time.
Police 122, ambulance 124, roadside help 19807. For anything about the car, contact DOT directly, 24/7.
Renting in Žabljak — questions
How does DOT deliver the car in Žabljak?▼
Once we confirm your booking, the car leaves our office in Podgorica (Bulevar Save Kovačevića 26). We agree the exact hand-over time and place in Žabljak by phone or WhatsApp — early mornings and late nights included.
How much is delivery to Žabljak?▼
The delivery fee depends on the town and is shown in the booking before you send it. Collecting from our Podgorica office is free.
Which protection plan should I choose?▼
The basic rental includes mandatory insurance and a refundable deposit. Smart protection lowers the deposit and Premium protection removes it entirely. You see the daily price of each plan in the booking; theft is not covered by any plan.
How do I pay for the rental?▼
We don't ask for prepayment. You pay the amount from your booking when you collect the car, in cash or by card, and the confirmation with all the terms reaches your inbox straight after booking.
