Podgorica Airport - Your Gateway to Montenegro's Open Road
Podgorica International Airport - officially known as Golubovci Airport - sits roughly 11 kilometres south of the city centre, just off the M2.4 highway in the suburb of Golubovci. It is Montenegro's busiest airport, handling flights from across Europe including London, Frankfurt, Vienna, Amsterdam, and Istanbul. The terminal is compact and easy to navigate, with baggage claim just minutes from the gate.
Once you land, the question quickly becomes: how do you get to where you actually want to go? Official taxis charge a fixed fee of around EUR 12-15 to the city centre, but they cannot take you to the Bay of Kotor, Lake Skadar, or Durmitor. Bus connections from the airport are limited and slow. Hiring a car directly at Podgorica Airport is by far the most practical option - you collect the keys, load your luggage, and start your Montenegro adventure on your own timetable.
The car hire collection point at Podgorica Airport is located just outside the arrivals hall. Our partner agents will be waiting with your name on a board, ready to hand over the keys within minutes of your landing. No long walks, no confusing shuttle stops - just a smooth handover and open roads ahead.

After clearing passport control and collecting your luggage, walk through the arrivals exit. The car hire meeting point is immediately outside the terminal doors - no shuttle required.

Essential Airport Tips for Your Podgorica Car Hire
Parking at Podgorica Airport: Short-term parking directly in front of the terminal costs around EUR 1.50 per hour. If you are dropping someone off or picking up a hire car at the handover bay, the first 15 minutes are typically free. Long-stay parking is available at a lower daily rate further from the terminal building.
Fuel stations near the airport: There are two petrol stations on the road between the airport and the M2.4 junction, both stocking unleaded, diesel, and AdBlue. Fill up here before heading north to Podgorica or south toward Lake Skadar - fuel in mountain areas can be scarce. All our hire vehicles are provided with a full tank, and you return them full.
Returning your car after an early or late flight: After-hours returns are available for most vehicles. Simply arrange the drop-off time when booking and our agent will meet you at the agreed point. Early morning collections as early as 05:00 and late-night returns up to 23:59 are both possible - just confirm in advance.
Flight delays and amendments: We monitor flight arrivals in real time. If your plane is delayed, your car and agent will wait at no extra charge. Changes to booking duration can usually be made up to 24 hours before pickup free of charge thanks to our flexible cancellation policy.
