One-Way Car Hire from Tivat Airport
One-way rentals let you pick up at Tivat Airport and drop off at a different location in Montenegro, useful if you're heading south along the coast or driving to the capital. Cross-border one-ways are not offered: a car rented in Montenegro is returned in Montenegro.
Most rental companies in Montenegro support one-way returns within the country, but costs and availability vary by destination and season.
Most one-way trips begin the moment you land, so book the car rental at Tivat Airport and set your drop-off city in the same search.
