Cross border charges are not uncommon in car rental, it’s a common request and depending on where in the world you are will depend on whether it’s permitted and how much it might cost. Perhaps not the most likely of destinations, however we get an awful lot of customers ask if they can take a rental car into Montenegro from Croatia, so we’ve put together a table showing all of the
car rental agents in Croatia who allow cross border travel to Montenegro and of those that do, how much they charge.
Whether you are picking up a rental car in Zagreb in the north of the city, or it’s car rental from Dubrovnik Airport in the far south, taking a rental car to Montenegro shouldn’t cause any trouble. You should check our table below showing which agents allow cross border travel to Montenegro and what they charge, but we also recommend you check the rental terms are time of booking as terms and charges may change. You should also advise the rental agent on arrival of your plans to take a rental car into Montenegro to ensure all the necessary fees are paid and the necessary documentation / paperwork is supplied as you will need this when you cross the border.
