Practicalities
It pays to be a reasonably confident driver in Montenegro, for two reasons – some of its roads, and some of its other drivers. On the good fast roads, you may find bad fast drivers, as well as lorries, which can lead to some tense driving moments. Away from the main routes, roads are much quieter, but they can be narrow, which makes passing vehicles a little tricky, especially when there’s a sheer drop on one side and no crash barriers. Montenegro is mountainous so almost anywhere you go involves some tacking up or down switchback roads, which at best is tiring and at worst is nauseating. On the whole though, the driving here is enjoyable. A decent network of broad, well signposted roads link the main towns and traffic is often fairly light, particularly away from the coast and the capital Podgorica, or during off peak months.Check whether your car has Satnav before you leave home – not all of them will – and make sure you have the relevant Google maps downloaded to your phone if not. Basic road maps of Montenegro, which you can buy back home, don’t include the smallest roads, which makes it possible to get lost. A car with air conditioning is essential if you’re visiting in summer, when temperatures can soar into the 40°Cs.
Cars are sometimes leased with an almost empty fuel tank, so find out from your car hire rep where the nearest service station is before you drive off; they aren’t on every corner, so you need to be organised. Some self drive vacations dip into Croatia (perhaps starting and ending in Dubrovnik) or Bosnia and Herzegovina, so you can get a taste of the wider region. Be prepared for delays at border crossings, though, if you’re driving beyond Montenegro.
