KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kotor
- Visit the pearl of Montenegro and make the most of your holiday, with car hire in Kotor. A stunning coastal city declared a UNESCO Heritage site, this ancient world offers breathtaking views from every direction, limestone cliffs overlooking the Bay of Kotor and a medieval town so authentic that many of the roads are in their original state. The city is fortified with thick walls as tall as 67 metres. Whether you choose to enjoy attractions such as Kotor Cathedral and the Maritime Museum or venture on a road trip, Kotor car hire is your passport to independence. If you’re feeling adventurous, take the famous road from Kotor to Mrcevac, known as one of the best coastal trips in Europe. Jadranska Magistrala Road is tarred and runs in a loop along the bay; it’s a roughly 22 km trip that includes hairpin bends, mountainous terrain and spectacular views.
- When you land in Montenegro, you will likely make use of Tivat Airport (TIV). It is based a roughly 11min drive from the bay, so you will be perfectly positioned when booking car hire in Kotor from here and making your way to the coast. Book your hire car in advance through KAYAK and arrive with the assurance of a quality deal. This is a good time to grab a GPS too.
- When driving in Kotor, you will have no issue getting used to the roads. You will be driving on the right-hand side of the road, and no matter if you are driving day or night, your headlights need to remain on. Always remain buckled up and stay off mobile phones. The blood alcohol limit is low, at 0.03%, and as a port city, you will find many tourists coming in from cruise ships all year round. Make note that the old town has a pedestrian-first policy, which will mean parking slightly on the outskirts and going in by foot.
- When driving a car in the bay of Kotor and its surroundings, you will be faced with the issue of varying road size and quality. With some routes being unpaved, crumbling, mountainous and extremely narrow, you will have a variety of surfaces that may cause challenges, but for the most part, the roads are in great condition considering their age. The longer road trip routes, whilst tarred and in great condition, are narrow and often don’t have space for overtaking or two cars, so always be vigilant. The winds on the mountain roads can push a car around too. All of this will add to your authentic Kotor holiday.
- Book your car hire in Kotor at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini hire cars in Kotor are around 238% more expensive than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in Kotor?
Utilising car hire in Kotor will only be a comfortable experience if you understand the size of the roads. It is not worth springing on a luxury or SUV car if you won’t be able to use it. Book something small and zippy and you should have fun on your trip, with most roads being manageable and reachable. You will also save on fuel with a compact car.
What is the speed limit in Kotor?
Kotor speed limits are quite standard and you should be able to comply with ease. When you are in residential or built-up areas, stick to the usual speed of 50 kph. You can up the speed to 80 kph when you are outside city areas. When you hit the motorways, you can push it to 100 kph. Note that signs take precedence over standard speeds, as they will be tailored according to conditions, particularly on mountain passes.
Where are the best places to park in Kotor?
With Kotor being so small, finding street parking is not really feasible. If you arrive early enough, you can find spots on certain streets such as Njegoseva Street, which typically has free parking. But for the most part, it’s far better to look for car parks outside the old town and walk in on foot. The parking signs will be in Montenegrin, Serbian or Bosnian, so just look for the universal signs for parking.

Car hire insurance in Kotor
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
