Local Tips Before You Set Off
Lock In Before Mid-June
Budva Riviera supply tightens from late June, rates on identical cars can climb 30-40% the week before pickup. Book early, free cancellation means no risk.
Fuel Up Before Lovćen
The Kotor-Cetinje serpentine climbs through 25 hairpins from the bay to Njeguši. No petrol stations on the climb. Top up in Budva or Tivat before you turn inland.
Green Card for Debeli Brijeg
Dubrovnik day trips go through the Debeli Brijeg crossing, allow 10 minutes off-peak, up to two hours on a Saturday in August. The Green Card we prepare at booking keeps the checkpoint to a 30-second nod.
