Taxis in Montenegro

BY SARAH

Taxis in Montenegro are cheap and efficient. In fact it's the ideal way to get around town if you haven't got a rental car or you just want to pop into town and don't want to bother looking for parking. In fact, if you're planning on staying for a while, the taxi trip might even be cheaper than paying for parking!

As always, there are some better options than others when it comes to taxis in Montenegro. Take note of these tips and you'll travel trouble-free.

Which Taxis to Use

Always use metred taxis that preferably belong to fleet/company. These will be cheaper than other independent drivers. Even if it’s a company taxi waiting at a taxi stand, check that it’s metred before you get in. I’ve been stung before having to pay 5 Euros for a trip that usually would cost less than 2 because the car had no meter and a ‘minimum 5 Euro charge’ policy – something I didn’t notice until it was too late. I haven’t made that mistake again!

The easiest way to get a taxi in Montenegro is to call one on the phone. The operators of all major taxi companies speak English and usually a taxi takes no more than 5 minutes to arrive.

What If You Don't Have an Address?

If you’re staying in a hotel or apartment complex it’s generally easy to get a taxi to come pick you up. Some difficulty arises however when you need a taxi to come to your villa and you don’t have a street address. Addresses in Montenegro are notoriously difficult, having neither street names or house numbers in many places. Your best bet in this case is to get the taxi to pick you up from a nearby restaurant, café or other landmark where they’ll be able to find you easily.

Even if you have a rental car on holiday, taxis in Montenegro can be your best friend if you like to have a little tipple with dinner.

The alcohol limit for driving in Montenegro is zero. Yes, zero.

The police do routinely stop drivers to check breath alcohol levels, so it's worth your while spending a few Euros on a taxi.

Prices vary for taxis in Montenegro and do tend to be more expensive between June and September. However they’re still relatively cheap with a ride in any of the towns not usually costing more than a few Euros.
