Why Rent at Tivat Airport?
Tivat Airport has the most international flight connections of any Montenegrin airport. If your airline does not serve Podgorica (which is closer to Ulcinj), Tivat is the alternative. The drive south along the coast passes through Budva, Petrovac, and Bar — all worth stops along the way.
