Car hire in Rafailovići is the smart way to settle into a small fishing village on the southern flank of the Budva Riviera, with its own marina and one of the best dining seafronts on the coast. The main Bečići beach sits 200 metres on foot; Budva Old Town is a 30-minute walk along the water 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 works for the village alone: the beach, dinner on the seafront, a boat to Sveti Stefan. For radial trips — Kotor, Lovćen, Lake Skadar, Albania — a car is essential. Narrow streets and the steep hillside add parking constraints, so accommodation with its own car park costs more here, but takes most of the daily worry off your plate.
What sets Rafailovići apart
The 220 m beach plus Bečići next door
Rafailovići's own beach runs 220 metres of fine pebbles, and it's 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, but the full beach potential of the Riviera within a stroll.
First-time visitors usually work it out after the first morning: swim at Bečići, 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 takes private yachts and speedboats. In summer, scheduled passenger boats leave 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 turns out refined Mediterranean cooking. Tables go a day or two ahead in season.
A summer dinner at Tri Ribara pulls people in from Budva and even from Tivat. If you're staying in Rafailovići, walk down without a booking — by 22:00 the second seating starts to clear.
BMW X1 in Montenegro
Everything went well 👍
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.
Toyota Yaris in Montenegro
I took delivery of a VW Polo instead of a Toyota Yaris, but the car was better. Everything was very easy, I was very pleased.
Audi A3 in Montenegro
Thank you, everything is good! But the car is already a bit "tired": occasionally the air conditioner does not work, there were difficulties with a trip at night - headlights do not shine.
Mercedes-Benz B-Class in Montenegro
It was good. We enjoyed it.
Skoda Fabia Combi in Montenegro

Audi A3 in Montenegro
It didn’t go very well, the reservation was confirmed, but there was no car at the appointed time, after my call they only remembered me. They apologized and provided another car after about an hour. The car was lower class - Hyndai i20, the price was adjusted

Volkswagen Polo in Montenegro
Generally I would say renting was good. On this occassion when I returned the car I was forced by the renter 150 euros for damage that was already on the vehicle at time of rental. I asked for a receipt and was told that one wouod be sent to me, which I have still not received. I will not be renting cars from you again in montenegro. Thank you
Mercedes-Benz B-Class in Montenegro
Nicola the manager delivered the car on time, quickly executed the necessary papers. Rented a Mercedes B180 in a good configuration, beautiful color, sunroofs. We liked everything, we were satisfied with the service. Thanks! I recommend these guys to everyone! 👍

Parking and narrow streets
The terrain is the main constraint
The village climbs a steep hillside, and the room for cars is physically limited. Access streets are narrow, with not every passing point 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 hold 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 moved to paid guest parking at €5–10 per night.
