How to Refuel? (Guide to Driving in Montenegro)
When renting a car in Montenegro, you need to know some important information about the refueling process so that your driving pleasure isn't interrupted. Here's your step-by-step refueling guide:

1. What Fuel Does the Vehicle Use?
Be sure to find out whether the vehicle you rented is diesel (DIESEL) or gasoline (PETROL or GASOLINE).
Filling with the wrong fuel can lead to engine failure and high repair costs. Such situations are the responsibility of the user.
The fuel type is usually indicated on the fuel cap or on the key handover form. If you are unsure, call us.

2. What Should You Do When Refueling?
Gas stations in Montenegro usually have staff on duty – they will assist you.
When you pull up to the station, you can ask the attendant for a tank fill by saying "Full Diesel" or "Full Petrol".
Some large stations also have self-service pumps. Here you fill up the fuel first, then go inside to pay.

3. Payment Methods
You can pay in cash in Euros (€) or by credit card.
Debit cards are generally accepted, but some small stations in mountain villages may only accept cash.
Be sure to get your receipt. It can be used as proof of fuel level upon delivery if needed.

4. Petrol Stations May Be Closed at Night!
In Montenegro, especially in smaller towns and rural areas, petrol stations close around midnight.
Only some large cities have 24-hour service (e.g., around Podgorica, Budva, or Tivat).
If you plan to travel at night, check your fuel level beforehand and remember to refuel early.

Additional Tips:
During peak summer months, there may be queues in some tourist areas – be patient and plan your time accordingly.
If you experience any problems, please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help!

Which Airport Should You Choose in Montenegro?
There are two active international airports in Montenegro: Podgorica Airport and Tivat Airport.

Podgorica Airport
Located in the capital Podgorica, this airport offers convenient access to the country's interior and north. It also generally offers more affordable flight tickets. Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, Sun Express, and Air Montenegro operate direct flights to Podgorica Airport.

Tivat Airport
Located on Montenegro's southern coast, in the heart of tourist areas, Tivat Airport offers easy access to popular destinations such as Budva, Kotor, and Tivat. Turkish Airlines and Air Montenegro operate flights to Tivat Airport.

Pegasus Airlines
Pegasus only operates flights to Podgorica Airport.

About Air Montenegro
Air Montenegro is Montenegro's local airline. It operates with a small fleet of aircraft and offers a sufficient and comfortable option for short-haul flights. Its direct flights between Izmir and Tivat provide an advantage, especially for those traveling to Montenegro from the Aegean region. Ticket sales are made through the official website, which has English language support. Seasonal discount campaigns are also offered.

Tivat or Podgorica?
Which airport should be preferred depends on the details of your trip:
If you are renting a car: The airport with the more affordable ticket price may be preferable. Since Montenegro is a small country, the distance between the two airports does not make a significant difference.
If you are not renting a car (and plan to travel by transfer or taxi): Tivat Airport is much closer to the tourist destinations in the coastal region, making transportation easier and more economical.

From Podgorica Airport, travel to Budva takes approximately 1 hour, while travel to Tivat and Kotor takes 2-2.5 hours. Intercity transfer or taxi fares can generally be higher than the cost of renting a car. Therefore, if you plan to use a transfer or taxi, Tivat Airport would be a more logical choice. Note: If you are using a taxi, we strongly advise you to negotiate the fare.

Summary
If you have a rental car: The airport with more affordable ticket prices can be preferred.
If you do not have a rental car (and plan on a taxi or transfer): Tivat Airport is more advantageous due to its ease of access.

Araç Kiralarken Dikkat Edilmesi Gereken 10 Nokta
Kiralama sürecinde sorunsuz bir deneyim için bu ipuçlarına göz atın!
Karadağ’da tatil yaparken veya iş seyahatinizde araç kiralamak, bölgeyi özgürce gezmenin en iyi yollarından biridir. Ancak araç kiralarken doğru adımları atmak hem konfor hem de bütçe açısından büyük önem taşır. İşte Karadağ’da araç kiralarken dikkat etmeniz gereken 10 önemli nokta:

1. Güvenilir ve Yerel Bir Firma Tercih Edin
Yabancı ve aracı siteler yerine Karadağ merkezli, yerel firmaları tercih etmek genellikle daha uygun fiyat ve daha iyi hizmet demektir. Yerel firmalar bölgeye daha hakimdir ve müşteri memnuniyetine daha çok önem verir.
2. Depozito Talep Ediliyor mu, Kontrol Edin
Bazı firmalar araç tesliminde yüksek miktarda depozito talep edebilir. Ancak karadagarackiralama.me olarak bizden kiraladığınız araçlarda depozito yoktur – bu da süreci daha kolay ve masrafsız hale getirir.
3. Kilometre Sınırı Var mı?
Karadağ’da doğa, sahiller ve tarihi yerler keşfedilmeyi bekliyor. Bu yüzden kilometre sınırı olmayan bir araç kiralama firmasıyla çalışmak büyük avantaj sağlar. Firmamızda kilometre sınırı yoktur – dilediğiniz kadar yol yapabilirsiniz.
4. Sigorta Kapsamını Öğrenin
Temel sigorta çoğu zaman fiyata dahildir. Ancak araç hasarlarında sorumluluk ne kadar? Hangi durumlar kapsama giriyor? Bunları net öğrenin. Bizimle çalıştığınızda tüm sigorta detayları şeffaf şekilde paylaşılır.
5. Araç Teslim ve İade Şartlarını Bilin
Aracı nerede teslim alacağınız, nerede bırakacağınız önceden belirlenmelidir. Firmamız, esnek teslim ve iade seçenekleriyle süreci kolaylaştırır.
6. Araç Tipini İhtiyacınıza Göre Seçin
Karadağ’ın dağlık yolları için SUV modeller uygun olabilirken, şehir içi gezilerde ekonomik araçlar ideal olabilir. Web sitemizden ihtiyaçlarınıza göre araç seçimi yapabilirsiniz.
7. Ehliyet ve Yaş Sınırlarını Kontrol Edin
Genelde 21 yaş ve en az 1 yıllık ehliyet yeterlidir. Ancak bu sınırlar firmadan firmaya değişebilir. Bizimle çalışırken bu konuda size açık kurallar sunulur.
8. Yakıt Politikası Net mi?
Araç tesliminde yakıt durumu önemlidir. Full depo alıp aynı şekilde teslim etmek en yaygın yöntemdir. Kiralama öncesinde yakıt politikasını netleştirdiğinizden emin olun.
9. Araçta Var Olan Hasarları Not Alın
Teslim almadan önce aracın dışını ve içini kontrol edin. Var olan çizik ya da göçükleri fotoğraflayıp firmaya bildirin. Böylece teslim sırasında sorun yaşamazsınız.
10. Müşteri Desteği Var mı?
Herhangi bir sorun yaşadığınızda ulaşabileceğiniz bir yetkili olmalı. Karadagarackiralama.me olarak 7/24 destek sunuyoruz. İhtiyacınız olduğunda yanınızdayız.
