Car hire in Rafailovići is the smart way to explore a small fishing village on the southern side of the Budva Riviera, with its own marina and one of the best seafront dining spots on the coast. The main Bečići beach is a 200-metre walk away; Budva Old Town is a 30-minute stroll along the waterfront through the Zavala pedestrian tunnel.
Most guests arrive looking for the quieter way into the Budva Riviera. Everything you need is here, without the round-the-clock seafront traffic of Budva itself.
Without a car, the village is perfect for staying local: the beach, dinner on the seafront, or a boat trip to Sveti Stefan. For day trips to Kotor, Lovćen, Lake Skadar or Albania, a car is essential. The narrow streets and steep hillside make parking tricky, so accommodation with its own car park costs more but removes most of the daily hassle.
What sets Rafailovići apart
The 220 m beach plus Bečići next door
Rafailovići's own beach runs 220 metres of fine pebbles and stays quiet. Two minutes' walk away is the long Bečići beach — awarded in 1936 the title of most beautiful natural beach in Europe. As a base it's perfect: no village-side bustle, yet the full beach potential of the Riviera is within easy reach.
First-time visitors usually work it out after the first morning: swim at Bečići, then walk back to Rafailovići for dinner. The rented car stays parked at the apartment all day.
A marina and boats to Sveti Stefan
The small but functional marina accommodates private yachts and speedboats. In summer, scheduled passenger boats depart every 30 minutes for Sveti Stefan, Queens Beach and Budva. A handy alternative to the car for short beach days.
A dining reputation
Rafailovići holds its own as a dining destination on the southern Riviera. Tri Ribara ("Three Fishermen") on the seafront is a fresh-fish institution, and Trattoria Tulip serves refined Mediterranean cooking. Tables are usually booked a day or two ahead in season.
A summer dinner at Tri Ribara draws people in from Budva and even Tivat. If you're staying in Rafailovići, you can walk down without a booking — by 22:00 the second seating starts to clear.
Volkswagen Polo in Montenegro
Instead of a Polo, they brought us a Citroën 😁 but that was probably even better! Everything’s great! The car was clean, drove well, and had no issues 😁👍 They also installed a booster seat for the kids (as we requested). We returned the car at a location that was convenient for us. Thank you so much!
Citroen C3 in Montenegro
Everything was clear, quick, and friendly. We returned the car quickly and without any issues. The car matched the photos and description; despite the high mileage, everything was in good working order—the engine ran smoothly, and the clutch was in perfect condition.

Citroen C4 Cactus in Montenegro
Customer service was very good, the man was waiting for us as agreed. The car itself was working perfectly. So overall it was stress free :)
Toyota Yaris in Montenegro
Got Hyundai i20 instead of Toyota Yaris, other than that everything was fine. The car was delivered to the house and taken away from the house. The car was clean, serviceable, everything is ok.
Skoda Fabia in Montenegro
everything went great, I left a positive review in Google :)
Peugeot 307cc in Montenegro
Despite some challenges with the car (Peugeot 307cc had some issue with the gear), the service was immaculate: 24/7 support, quick resolution of the questions, flexibility with the payment. On top of that, it was a real pleasure to communicate with the guys, as they were really positive. Giving them 5/5 review.
Mercedes-Benz E200 Cabrio in Montenegro
The car was delivered to us on time directly to the hotel. Very good customer support. Everything went perfectly!
Toyota Yaris in Montenegro
We ordered a Toyota yaris car for rent, instead they drove a Mercedes for the same money, since the air conditioner did not work in Toyota, we liked it even more. The car was driven under the hotel for the specified time, the car is clean, everything works, leather interior, a car seat for the child, everything is clear. They were also taken from the hotel a day later. I liked everything, I recommend this company to everyone !!!
Toyota Yaris in Montenegro
Everything was okay. Exept three things: the late pickup time (almost 2h), the fact that the car wasn't equiped with a GPS (as mentioned in the booking), and it was a little bit difficult to start the engine regardless to the driving wheel and the key. We appreciated that the car was very clean and in a good condition. I would say 4/5.

Parking and narrow streets
The terrain is the main constraint
The village climbs a steep hillside, and space for cars is physically limited. Access streets are narrow, with not every passing place wide enough for two cars. The trade-off: apartments and villas higher up almost always get a sea view, which is generous compensation for the parking inconvenience.
Beach and restaurant parking
Paid lots along the Adriatic road run €1–2 per hour. The southern lots near Rafailovići fill first because of the restaurant cluster on the seafront — Tri Ribara, Trattoria Tulip and the rest attract demand from lunch through late evening.
Heading to Tri Ribara or Trattoria Tulip without a booking? Arrive before 19:00 or after 22:00 — otherwise you'll be parking in Bečići and walking the 5–7 minutes back along the seafront.
Accommodation with parking
In Rafailovići this is the deciding factor. Most apartments and villas offer one space per flat, but it's sometimes booked or charged separately. Confirm at check-in: several complexes have switched to paid guest parking at €5–10 per night.
