Car & scooter rental · Bay of Kotor
A scooter keeps you nimble on the coast; a car opens the whole bay and the mountains above it. Here’s how to choose — I’ll have it ready where you need it.
Pick your ride
Both can be collected around the bay. The right choice comes down to where you want to go — and how much of the summer traffic you want to sit in.

Best for range & comfortWhere to go
Scooter-friendly runs hug the water; the car routes climb the passes and leave the bay for the day.

Pine promenade, the city park and Porto Montenegro — flat and easy.

The quiet shore across from Kotor, with the best head-on view of the old town.

Narrow lanes to Rose, Žanjic and the beaches — where two wheels win outright.

Cruise the Herceg Novi seafront and stop wherever a café catches your eye.

Twenty-five hairpins, pršut and cheese in Njeguši, then the mausoleum.

Montenegro’s old royal capital, an easy drive once you’re over the pass.

Jaz, Trsteno and the Budva coast in under an hour.

Drive the whole shoreline — or shortcut across on the Kamenari ferry.

How it works
Scooter or car, your dates and where to collect it — Kotor, Tivat or Herceg Novi.
Driving licence, passport or ID, and a card for the deposit.
A quick walk-around, helmet and lock for scooters, and you’re off.
Back to the same spot — or ask about a one-way drop near the airport.
Local road notes
The difference between a smooth day and a frustrating one around the bay.
The coast road slows to a crawl around midday in July and August. Start early — or ride a scooter and slip past it.
The old town is car-free. Use the paid lots outside the walls and arrive before 10am in high season.
Yes — the Kamenari–Lepetane ferry runs around the clock and saves the long loop around the inner bay. Just drive on.
You can, but the road is narrow with big drops and it’s tiring and exposed on two wheels. For Lovćen and Njeguši a car is far more comfortable.
A valid driving licence for the vehicle category, a passport or ID card, and a payment card for the deposit. Exact age and licence requirements depend on the vehicle — I’ll confirm them when you enquire.
