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.

Audi Q3 in Montenegro
Unfortunately I can't say anything about the Audi Q3, as it was not me who booked it in the end. I was offered a replacement car (Mercedes A180).
Volkswagen Polo in Montenegro
Everything went great, the car was in good condition except for a couple of minor minor minor points. I was not asked to communicate in Russian, but it was nice that the guy spoke to me in Russian). Drop-off and pick-up went great, drove it to my house, picked it up at the specified place, everything was great, thank you!
Mercedes-Benz A180 cdi in Montenegro
There was no car booked, and we wanted a Mercedes, so we were offered a Citroen Cactus at the same price as on the website. Since we needed the car urgently, we had to agree. The car was in good condition, the interior was clean. But besides that, it was upsetting that the car was brought with 3/4 tank of gasoline, of course it was very difficult to calculate the necessary amount of gasoline to fill up and we had gasoline in the tank was more than 10 liters. The landlord refused to compensate for the cost of overfilled gasoline. So be careful, do not fall for these 3/4 and demand that there was a full tank of gasoline, not to lose, as we did 15 euros. It looks very much like petty fraud, not an accident or negligence.

Mini Cooper S in Montenegro
In general, everything was good, we liked it, although the steering wheel shook when braking, this is a sign of deformation of the brake discs. And the car also showed that the scheduled maintenance was overdue, which was a little annoying
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 !!!
Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabrio in Montenegro
Everything was fine. I got my car by the hotel and returned it also there. Car was good, And also one important thing is that I didn't book cabrio beforehand, but your company could find it for me in a day !

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.
