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.
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.

Citroen C4 Cactus in Montenegro
Delivery on tíme. Car was clean and good.
Renault Clio 4 in Montenegro
We were happy with the car. It worked steady! Only the child’s seat seemed to be not the safest. We liked your service so far. Delivery and pickup were on time and the guy was very friendly. But we were surprised that we had to pay cash when we took over the car. We expected to be able to pay with credit card. This wasn’t noted in the booking documents. It was a bit disappointing that we had to get money from the airport ATM. This meant some extra costs for us. I hope this feedback helps you to fine tune your services
Toyota Yaris in Montenegro
Everything was great. We got a Citroen that was a little larger than the Yaris, which was a pleasant surprise. Communication with the rental company was very good. It was certainly a budget option, but there was absolutely nothing to pick on. We enjoyed our stay in Montenegro.
Skoda Fabia in Montenegro
Everything went great) thank you)
Peugeot 207 in Montenegro
Everything went perfectly! The car was delivered on time. Although not the one that was booked on the site, but she completely satisfied us. There were no problems with the car on the road. If we are in Montenegro again, we will gladly use your services again.
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 🤩
Peugeot 508 in Montenegro
I rented a car, only a volkswagen, Peugeot was out of stock. Everything went well, the Auto was handed over to me on time, everything was fine and the car is working, normal.
Volkswagen Eos in Montenegro
Everything is fine! I will recommend it to friends.
Toyota Yaris in Montenegro
We booked this car, but were given a Škoda Fabia, and they gave us unlimited internet as a gift. There were no questions about the car, we drove for 5 days in Montenegro. The manager answered all questions promptly, they brought the car on time. I recommend this company.
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.
