Car rental in Kotor is a widely popular service among tourists who want not only to rest in the town but also to travel outside it. Kotor perfectly preserved its medieval appearance. By the way, this made the town included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The labyrinths of the streets of the most fascinating part of the town, with churches and old houses, are pedestrian.
To inspect the main attraction, a unique, unparalleled fortress of Saint Ivan (San Giovanni) built in the 13th century at the foot of Mount Lovcen, you will also need a car. It usually takes about 1.5-2 hours to reach the church on foot, overcoming a stairway of almost 1,500 steps. Renting a car in Kotor is a very useful service which helps tourists spend their vacation with fun and make it diverse. Since the town is small and the main mass of attractions is represented by architectural monuments, a tourist will certainly want to get somewhere far away for additional impressions.
Where to go from Kotor?

Good conditions for a beach rest can be found even closer — in Budva (25 km) and the village of Becici (27 km), with the most beautiful beach in Europe (recognized in 1935).
- Budva is also a good option for entertainment. Families with children, individual tourists, groups, as well as divers and extremals come here for perfect rest. Here you can visit an amusement park, a water park and a mini zoo, in the vicinity of the town bungee jumping and diving schools are at your disposal.

Tips for those who travel by car
The cost of renting a car in Kotor, as well as prices for petrol in the country, are acceptable. When planning trips to long distances and especially to mountains by serpentine roads, it is better to take a more powerful car. To visit the national park Lovchen or Skadar Lake, the best option is a jeep or a crossover.
For moving along the bay by the comfortable highway E65 or trips to Budva and Bar by the motorway E80 with high-quality coverage, you do not have to overcome the unbelievable turns of serpentines, and therefore, you can choose a car with a less powerful engine.
Good news for the users of our service who plan to spend their vacation in Kotor: to save on a taxi and to catch the return flight, regardless of the carriers, you can rent a car and return it right at the Tivat airport, which is only 7 km away from Kotor.
