Car Rental in Podgorica: Local Companies to Book |

Podgorica is a city where a car changes the trip. The coast, the mountains and Ostrog Monastery are all within reach, but the sights are spread out. A company based here usually means a real person in the city you can call.

Why rent from a local company

A local firm lives on word of mouth, so the handover tends to be personal: someone walks round the car with you and explains what is covered. Delivery is sometimes included: Phoenix, for example, brings the car free to hotels, apartments and the main bus and train stations within the city. Local companies also know the current cross-border rules and which mountain roads are worth the detour.

What to check before you book

Prices on a website are a starting point, not the final bill. Check these points before you pay.

Deposit and excess. Ask what is blocked on your card, when it is released and how big the excess is; zero-excess cover usually costs extra per day.
What insurance leaves out. Tyres, wheels, glass, undercarriage and interior are common exclusions.
Fuel and mileage. Full-to-full and a set level back are different promises; unlimited mileage is not always standard.
Cross-border trips. If you plan to visit Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo or Serbia, get written confirmation and ask about fees.

When to book

July and August are the busiest weeks and the small local fleets sell out first, especially automatics and seven-seaters. Book a few weeks ahead for summer.

Outside the season you can often decide a day or two before, but ask rather than turn up: several offices keep limited hours.
