  • Line up your ride with Green Motion, U-Save or Surprice. These are some of the most reliable providers offering car hire deals in Podgorica.

  • The coverage Green Motion or another supplier includes with your Podgorica car hire can differ, so be sure to read the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge extra for it.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire is often a great hack for finding a deal. Select 'Return car to a different location' when looking for a car for rent in Podgorica. Providers often need to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can score some great one-way prices.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car hire in Podgorica with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.

  • Hit every stop on your wish list by picking a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, it means you can drive as far as you want without extra charges.

  • If you have a flight to Podgorica, you might like to skip the city pickup and grab one of the car rentals in Podgorica Airport instead. Throw your luggage in the back seat and head straight to your first stop.

  • If the kids are tagging along, check if you should add a child car seat to your Podgorica car hire booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.
