Top 5: Reasons to Rent a Car in Montenegro

Just south of Croatia is the tiny nation of Montenegro, where the coast and countryside rival that of its northern neighbor. The beauty of Montenegro is its relative novelty on the travel scene. As such, there is no better (and in some cases, no possible) way to view the country than by renting a car.

Pure Freedom

Having your own transportation means you can set your own schedule. If you become tired of one location, hop in and drive on to another.

Get Off Road

Montenegro only gained independence in 2006, and its recent arrival onto the world’s stage is evident through its unfinished roads and infrastructure. With a car, it’s easier to navigate these frequent roadblocks so long as you have nowhere urgent to be.

Go Where Buses Don’t

Montenegro’s public transit system is not quite up to par with other Western nations, so to really get a feel for the landscape, a car is necessary. Watch in awe as the scenery changes from dense, lush forests to sandy desert scapes to towering mountain peaks dusted with snow.

Practice Your Driving Skills

Few Americans learn how to drive vehicles with manual transmission, but those who do have manual skills can put them to the test on the road with Montenegrins, who are anything but timid behind the wheel.

Don’t Be a Slave to a Schedule

Montenegrins say anything is possible, so embrace this mantra by leaving expectations and schedules behind and letting yourself explore.
