Car Rental Montenegro

Montenegro packs dramatic mountains, a fjord-like bay and Adriatic beaches into a small country, and a car is the best way to see it. Drive around the Bay of Kotor through Perast and Kotor, climb the 25 hairpins of the serpentine road to Lovćen National Park, explore Lake Skadar's wine villages, and head north to Durmitor National Park and the Tara Canyon, one of Europe's deepest. The coast from Budva to Ulcinj has beaches for every taste. Local companies offer low prices, often with low or no deposits.
