Collecting Your Car at Tivat Airport
Tivat Airport (IATA: Tivat Airport) is a single-terminal airport on the shore of Boka Bay. It handles seasonal traffic from across Europe, with Ryanair, Wizz Air, and TUI among the regular carriers.
Collecting a rental car here is faster than at most European airports. There's no bus to a remote lot, the short-stay car park is a short walk from the terminal exit.
This whole process is smoothest when you book ahead, so line up your Tivat Airport car hire before you fly and the car is waiting when you land.
Step by Step
- Land and clear passport control. Tivat Airport has just two gates and one baggage belt.
- Collect luggage and walk through the terminal exit, the short-stay car park is directly ahead.
- Your provider meets you in the car park with the keys and paperwork.
- Inspect the car together, sign the rental agreement, and drive out.
Paperwork to Have Ready
Driving licence (Latin script), passport, credit card in the driver's name. If you booked cross-border cover, confirm the Green Card is in the glovebox before you leave.
Car Inspection Tips
Walk around the car with your provider and note any existing damage on the rental agreement. Take photos of all four sides, the roof, and the wheels on your phone, timestamped photos are your best protection.
Driving Out of Tivat Airport
Turn left for Tivat town and Porto Montenegro (2 min). Turn right for the main road: left fork leads to Kotor via the Vrmac tunnel (20 min), right fork leads to Budva (30 min).
Tivat Airport Pickup FAQ
Common questions about timing, paperwork and what to expect when you land. They cover the first hour after arrival, from the walk out of the terminal to driving away.
Do I need to book before I land?
Booking ahead guarantees the car and rate you want. Walk-up availability isn't guaranteed, especially in July and August.
What if my flight is delayed?
Give your provider your flight number at booking. They track it, so pickup is arranged around your actual arrival time, not the original schedule.
Can I choose any pickup time?
Most cars let you pick a fixed hour at checkout. Some also offer an 'Anytime' pickup option as an extra, useful if your flight time isn't confirmed yet.
Is there a fee for airport pickup?
No. Airport pickup is included in the quoted rate for airport-based providers, what you see at checkout is what you pay.
