Rentals · Bay of Kotor
The coast road folds around every inlet and the mountains rise straight behind it. A scooter keeps you nimble in town; a car opens up the whole bay and the peaks above it. Here's how to pick.
Pick your ride
Both get picked up around the bay. The right choice comes down to where you want to go and how far.
Rent a scooter
A scooter is the local's trick for the bay — it slips through summer traffic, parks anywhere, and turns the short coastal hops between towns into the fun part of the day.
Where a scooter shines
Close, scenic, and easy to string together on two wheels — no long mountain hauls, just the good stuff around the water.
Pine promenade, the city park, and Porto Montenegro — all flat and easy to hop between.
The quiet shore across from Kotor, with the best head-on view of the old town.
Narrow lanes to Rose, Žanjic and the beaches — where a scooter beats a car outright.
An easy coastal spin to the Baroque waterfront and back, hugging the bay the whole way.
Cruise the Herceg Novi seafront and stop wherever a café or beach catches your eye.
The cliff-backed cove at the tip of Luštica — turquoise water, sheer rock, and a road that only two wheels enjoy.

Rent a car
A car turns the bay into a base camp. Loop the whole coastline, climb the serpentines to Lovćen, and come home cool and dry — with room for luggage, kids, and a full day's plans.
Where a car takes you
The drives a scooter can't comfortably do — big loops, high passes, and day trips out of the bay.
Twenty-five hairpins to the best view in Montenegro, then on toward Lovćen.
The mountain national park and the village of pršut and cheese — a classic day loop.
Drive the entire shoreline, or shortcut across on the Kamenari–Lepetane ferry.
Load the towels and reach Jaz, Trsteno and the Budva coast in under an hour.
Montenegro's historic heart, an easy inland drive once you're over the pass.
Tivat and Dubrovnik runs, early flights, and dinners across the bay — no taxi maths.

Find My CarHow it works
Renting around the bay is quick and low-fuss. Here's what to expect and what to bring.
Scooter or car, and where you'd like to collect it — Kotor, Tivat or Herceg Novi.
Driving licence, passport or ID, and a card for the deposit.
A quick walk-around, helmet and lock if it's a scooter, then you're off.
Back to the same spot, or ask about a one-way drop near the airport.
Good to know
A few things worth knowing before you turn the key — the difference between a smooth day and a frustrating one around the bay.
The coast road slows to a crawl midday in July and August. Start early, or ride a scooter and slip past it.
The old town is car-free. Use the paid lots outside the walls and arrive before 10am in high season.
Kamenari–Lepetane runs around the clock and saves the long loop around the inner bay — just drive on.
The serpentines are narrow with big drops — comfortable in a car, tiring and exposed on a scooter.
