Renting as a Younger Driver at Tivat Airport
There is no single minimum age across the fleet. Each car sets its own age and experience requirements, and they are shown on the listing before you book. Plenty of cars are open to younger drivers, with some available from 18, while higher-value and performance cars set higher minimums.
The search has a driver-age selector, and it defaults to 30. Set your real age and you only see cars you can actually book, so there are no surprises at pickup. If your age falls outside a particular car's range, the listing has an option to check that car for your age.
How Age Requirements Work
- Set your age in the search before you browse, so the results only show cars you can rent
- Each listing shows that car's own minimum age, and in some cases a maximum age
- Economy and compact cars tend to have the lowest minimum ages and the widest availability
- Premium, large and performance cars usually set higher minimum ages and longer licence-held requirements
What You Pay
Each car's price and terms are shown for your age before you confirm. On top of the rental, the costs to plan for are a deposit (unless you choose a no-deposit option), any paid insurance tier, extras you add, a cross-border fee if you leave Montenegro, and the extra-driver fee charged at pickup if you add a second driver.
Most under-25 visitors fly in, so the rental usually starts right at arrivals. See our Tivat Airport car hire page for the meet-at-arrivals pickup and the driving distances straight from the terminal.
Young drivers usually want two things: a no-deposit car so nothing is tied up during the trip, and a cheap economy car to keep costs down.
Both are easy to filter for once you set your real age in the search.
Tips for Younger Drivers
- Set your real age in the search so you only see cars you can actually book
- Bring your licence and passport, plus an International Driving Permit if your licence is not in the Latin alphabet
- Check each listing's minimum age and minimum licence-held period before you book
- Filter for no-deposit listings if you would rather not leave a deposit
