Practical Information for Drivers

Fines for road traffic violations in Tivat

Road traffic regulations must be observed in Tivat. The fines are among the highest in Europe, which is why there is such good order on the roads.

Leaving a vehicle unattended near a local pumping station 50 Euro
Sharp turns and manoeuvres in violation of road traffic regulations From 100 to 150 Euro
Illegal parking 100 Euro
Pollution of the environment From 100 to 450 Euro
Driving through a red light 150 Euro
Overtaking on the wrong side From 100 to 450 Euro

The police can only issue a fine and provide a receipt. The fine must be paid at a bank. Do not forget to pay fines if you want to avoid problems at customs.

Speed limits

Speed in Tivat, as in the rest of Montenegro, is restricted. You must always follow the road signs, as the speed limit can change on some sections of the road.

  • The speed limit within built-up areas is 50 km/h.
  • The maximum speed outside built-up areas is 80 km/h.
  • The maximum speed allowed on motorways is 100 km/h.
  • The maximum speed on express roads is 130 km/h.

Keep a close eye on your speedometer. The police do not overlook speeding offences. Dangerous drivers face very heavy fines of up to 2000 Euro. If you exceed the speed limit by more than 90 km/h, you can be sentenced to up to two months' imprisonment.

Permitted blood alcohol level

Drink-driving in Tivat is treated as seriously as in any other European city. The maximum permitted blood alcohol level is 0.03 per mille, which is roughly equivalent to a single glass of dry wine. If this limit is exceeded, be prepared for penalties:

  • If the alcohol test shows a level from 0.03 to 0.05 per mille, the driver must pay a fine of 70 to 200 Euro.
  • If the level is from 0.05 to 1 per mille, the fine will be significantly higher, from 300 to 2000 Euro.

If the blood alcohol level is more than 1 per mille, the driver risks being sentenced to imprisonment for up to two months.

Road traffic regulations in Tivat

The traffic regulations in force in Tivat are standard for Europe. However, there are a few specific points you should be aware of:

  • Dipped headlights

When the car is moving, dipped headlights must be on at all times, regardless of the time of day, season or weather. Otherwise you risk a fine of 30 to 80 Euro. If you forget to switch on your lights when it is dark, the fine increases to 150 Euro.

  • Children in the car

If you have come to Tivat with your family and hired a car, you must pay attention to the local requirements for transporting children. Children under 5 years of age may only travel in special child safety seats.

Cost of fuel in Tivat

There are plenty of fuel stations in Tivat, including autogas stations. Fuel prices are similar throughout the city. The quality is consistently high, so you can safely refuel at any station. Fuel prices in Tivat are average for Europe:

  • 95 petrol costs 1.35 Euro
  • 98 petrol costs 1.38 Euro
  • Diesel fuel costs 1.27 Euro.

At fuel stations, you can pay in cash or by credit card. There are both attended and self-service fuel stations.

Tivat car rental — FAQ

Booking 2–4 weeks ahead for Tivat is usually enough, but in July and August, or around major holidays, cars sell out fast. For peak summer, try to reserve 6–8 weeks in advance to lock in lower rates and a better choice of vehicles, especially automatics and larger family models.
Most suppliers in Tivat release the security deposit within 7-14 business days after you return the car, provided there are no new damages, fines, or fuel issues. Your bank may take a bit longer to show the funds. To avoid a blocked deposit altogether, look for no-deposit / no-credit-card deals when comparing offers.
The excess (deductible) is the maximum amount you pay if the car is damaged or stolen. In Montenegro it typically ranges from about EUR 600 to EUR 1,500, depending on vehicle class. If repair costs are lower, you pay only that amount. Many renters choose extra insurance or excess reduction to lower this liability substantially.
Most Tivat rental desks prefer or require a credit card in the main driver’s name for the security deposit. Some local providers may accept debit cards or cash, but conditions are stricter. If you do not have a credit card, focus on offers clearly marked as no-deposit / no-credit-card deals during the search.
In Tivat, a small rental car typically averages around EUR 30–45 per day (roughly 30–45 EUR equals about 30–45 USD), depending on season, car category, and booking time. Prices are lower in spring and autumn, while July and August can be significantly higher. Extras like GPS, child seats, or cross-border insurance add to the daily cost.
At Tivat Airport (TIV) you will find a range of international and local suppliers, including Hertz, Europcar, Sixt, Avis, Enjoy, Rent A, Costa Car, MYMONTENEGROCAR, and Montenegrocar, all operating desks in or near the terminal, usually within a short walk of the arrivals area for quick pick-up and drop-off.
Bookingcar lets you compare many international and local companies in Tivat in one search, so you can quickly spot better prices, fuel policies, and mileage terms. Transparent conditions, verified reviews, and multilingual support help you avoid unpleasant surprises at the counter and choose coverage and car type that suit your Montenegro trip.
If you return your Tivat rental late, companies usually charge an additional daily rate, sometimes plus extra fees, once the grace period (if any) is exceeded. Costs can be higher than your original rate. If you see you will be delayed, contact the rental operator immediately to adjust the contract and reduce penalties.
Central options include the paid parking areas near Porto Montenegro, the parking lot by the Tivat Waterfront promenade, and the lot near Magnolia Square. These are generally barrier or ticket-controlled: take a ticket on entry, pay at a machine or kiosk before leaving, and keep an eye on local signs for hourly or daily rates.
Most Tivat rental companies allow cross-border trips to nearby countries like Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania or Serbia, but you must declare this when booking. The supplier may charge an additional fee and provide a green card and extra insurance. Unauthorized border crossings can void coverage, so always get written permission.
Typical speed limits are:
  • Urban areas: 50 km/h
  • Outside built-up areas: 80 km/h
  • Major roads / expressways: 90-100 km/h where signed
  • Near schools or residential zones: sometimes 30-40 km/h
Always follow local signs, as limits can change due to road works, tunnels, sharp bends, or specific safety zones, especially in mountainous regions.
