Car hire in Sutomore is a rare combination on this coast: budget-friendly rates on rooms and cars, a two-kilometre sand-and-pebble beach, and the southern entrance to the Sozina tunnel right outside town. Of all coastal towns on the Riviera, Sutomore is the quickest jump to Podgorica and Lake Skadar — and the only beach town where Podgorica airport is closer and faster than Tivat.
A guest landing at TGD at 11pm last August met the host by flight number at arrivals. Contract signed on the bonnet, keys in hand in seven minutes, in the door of an apartment in Sutomore by midnight.
Without a car the town feels bigger than the map suggests. In summer the transit flow from inland runs straight through the centre, taxis climb fast, and the neighbouring spots — Bar, Old Bar, Lake Skadar — are awkward without your own wheels.
What sets Sutomore apart
The Sozina tunnel
Sutomore is where the Sozina tunnel meets the coast — €2.50 per car, around 4 km under the mountain to the Lake Skadar side. From here it's 45 minutes to Podgorica and 30 to Virpazar. No other coastal town has this built in.
If your trip leans into the mountains and Lake Skadar, basing in Sutomore saves an hour each way over Budva or Kotor.
Belgrade–Bar railway
Sutomore is the only Montenegrin coastal town with its own Belgrade–Bar station, 100 metres from the sea. The line crosses Serbia and the mountainous interior — a working alternative to flying for travellers taking the slow route in from Belgrade or Podgorica.
Haj-Nehaj and Tabija
Above the town, 230 metres up, sits Haj-Nehaj fortress (1542). The walk up takes about an hour; the car waits at the base. For sunset, locals drive up to Tabija fortress on the Golo Brdo hill — a short run with a postcard view of the coast.
Walk up to Haj-Nehaj early or late. At midday it's not worth it. From the top you see the coast all the way to Velika Plaža in Ulcinj.
Volkswagen Touran in Montenegro
I rented a VW Touran and everything was great. The car was clean, comfortable, and had a lot of space. Easy to drive and good on fuel. I was very happy with the rental and would choose it again.
Mercedes-Benz Vito in Montenegro
Thank you very much. Everything was very good. Very convenient paperwork, made delivery to the right place and picked up after. The car did not let me down. In good technical condition. The left driver's window does not lift well, the contact is broken. But I did not use it, as the air conditioning worked perfectly. The price is moderate compared to sedans. We traveled as a group of 8 people. Everyone was satisfied. Thanks again for the service. 👍🌼
Mini Cabrio in Montenegro

Volkswagen Touran in Montenegro
I'm very satisfied. The car worked without any problems. The rental was quick and close to my apartment location. After renting the car, I left it in the parking lot where they picked it up. I will recommend your site to others, especially since there was no deposit when renting the car.

Citroen C4 Grand Picasso in Montenegro
We rented a car on this site in August 2023, which we have never regretted! The car was delivered with a slight deviation in time due to traffic jams about what the driver reported in real time coming out all the time on the phone! We ordered a Citroen for 7 people, after payment reported that the car in the service and offered for the same money Mercedes Vito, which is very pleased!In the car was a booster and a child seat, as we were traveling with two children 3 and 8 years old, which we reported in the questionnaire! Acceptance and transfer of the car was as fast as possible and without problems! The whole family was very satisfied after such a vacation, because to be in Croatia and see all of its true beauty without a car is not real!We took the car for 4 days, on the penultimate day there was a small malfunction that we immediately reported to the lessor! Despite the fact that it was a day off and already evening, we immediately got in touch and offered technical inspection the next day, asking whether we can deliver the car or they will come in the morning and do the inspection, we refused the inspection and the next day in Podgorica handed over the car without any problems!We rented the car in Sutomore and handed it over in Podgorica, because from there we had a bus home! I would like to thank the lessor and his team in the rapid provision of services and in the maximum simplification of this process! Next time we visit Croatia, we will definitely turn to you! Thank you very much for a great vacation and a lot of positive emotions!!!!!.

I was offered a car of a lower class 207 g. I had to agree. But the car turned out to be quite good. I liked.
Hyundai Accent in Montenegro
I was very pleased with the polite communication when ordering, and the quick selection of a car in a short time. The car never let us down. The return of the car was also comfortable, we agreed to meet on the beach, met without any problems and handed over the car. Everything is always cultured and polite. Thank you for the service provided. I definitely recommend it. 5 stars 🤩

Reaching Sutomore and collecting the car
Sutomore has no airport of its own, but it carries a rare advantage along this coast: Podgorica at 45 km via the Sozina tunnel (€2.50) is closer and quicker than Tivat. The drive from TGD takes about 45 minutes; from TIV, an hour and ten plus the coastal-road queues. It flips the usual Riviera logic.
A couple flew into TGD on a Saturday morning, drove out via the tunnel and were on the Sutomore seafront by lunch — no Budva traffic, no Petrovac serpentine, no hour wasted.
There are few permanent rental offices in Sutomore itself, but most suppliers run meet-and-greet by flight number at TGD or TIV with hand-over on the spot. Free hotel delivery to Sutomore, Brca and Bar is the norm, particularly for hires of eight days or more out of season. Local suppliers here often hold the lowest rates on the coast — an economy car can run €15–25 per day in low season, €30–45 for an automatic crossover.
If you're landing late at night, take the car the next morning. The night drive from Tivat via Budva and the Petrovac serpentine adds time you don't need.
Rates in Sutomore vary throughout the year depending on the season and the rental length.

Parking, transit traffic, Sutomore quirks
Centre parking in summer
The town's weakest point. Sutomore was built without serious urban planning, and the room for cars is genuinely short. Paid lots along the seafront run €1–2 per hour and fill from 9am. Accommodation with its own garage or fenced car park is essential, particularly in July and August.
A guest staying near the seafront in mid-July ran the meter through a parking app, then forgot to top it up while at the beach — a €40 fine on the windscreen by 2pm. Pin it to your home screen if you can.
Transit through town
The E65/E80 Adriatic Highway runs straight through Sutomore, and the entire flow from inland Montenegro towards Bar via the Sozina tunnel goes through the town centre. In summer, particularly 11am–1pm and 5pm–7pm, the centre stalls. A planning legacy that won't change soon.
Best windows to drive
Out before 10am westbound (Budva, Kotor, Tivat). Back after 7pm. For trips through Sozina the summer queues are minor — the tourist flow mostly stays on the coastal road.
