Check Availability

How does pickup work at Podgorica Airport?

Podgorica Airport (IATA: TGD) is 12 km from the city centre. We deliver the car to the Arrivals area — you exit the terminal and we are waiting with the keys. There is no transfer or shuttle; handover takes under 10 minutes.

Because we are based in Tivat, Podgorica Airport deliveries are confirmed at booking — contact us with your flight details and we will confirm availability for your date. One-way rental (TGD pick up, TIV return or vice versa) is our most popular Podgorica booking.

Where can you go from Podgorica Airport?

Podgorica City Centre (12 km · 15 min)

The capital is compact and easy to navigate. Parking in the city is available (paid zones, €0.50–1/hour). The old Ottoman quarter (Stara Varoš) and the river banks are worth an afternoon.

Lake Skadar (30 km · 35 min)

Europe's largest bird reserve is right on Podgorica's doorstep. Drive south on the E65 and turn off at Virpazar. Fill up in Rijeka Crnojevića before the lake shore road — the next station is far.

Kolašin & Biogradska Gora (75 km · 1h)

Head north on the E65 highway to Montenegro's mountain resort town. Biogradska Gora national park has one of Europe's last primeval forests. In winter, Kolašin is a ski destination — snow tyres are required (included in our fleet Nov 15–Mar 31).

Budva & the Coast (100 km · 1h 15min)

Take the E65 south toward Virpazar, then west through the mountains to the coast. The road through Rijeka Crnojevića is one of the most scenic in Montenegro — narrow, slow and worth every minute.
