Top 5 best scooter rentals in Herceg-Novi

Herceg Novi rewards riders who go beyond the harbor. Rent a moped and you can climb from the old town's stone lanes up to Kanli Kula in minutes, then drop back down to the water and follow the bay road toward Savina Monastery or the beaches near Igalo — the kind of morning that would otherwise mean waiting on buses or overpaying for a taxi.

The old town itself is steep and built for walking, but everything around it is made for two wheels. Parking a car near the harbor is a headache, distances between the coastal villages are short, and a scooter lets you thread through traffic on the Jadranska Magistrala while stopping wherever a viewpoint or a swimming spot catches your eye — no car license required, no circling for a parking space.

Top 10 things to see in Herceg Novi by scooter

1. Kanli Kula (Bloody Tower) — an Ottoman-era fortress in the old town with sea views, an easy ride to warm up on.
2. Forte Mare — a seafront fortress right by the old town harbor, a popular spot for sunset photos.
3. Španjola Fortress (Forte Spagnola) — an uphill viewpoint above the old town with panoramic views over the Bay of Kotor, a short and steep test for your riding skills.
4. Savina Monastery — a wooded hillside monastery a few km from the center, a quiet scenic detour off the coast road.
5. Njivice / Zelenika waterfront promenade — a flat coastal ride north of the old town, good for cafes and swimming stops.
6. Igalo — a neighboring spa town a short ride west, known for its promenade and mud-therapy institute.
7. Jadranska Magistrala coastal road toward Kotor — the main highway hugging the bay, one of the classic scenic routes in the region.
8. Plaža Žanjic — a small pebble bay beach reachable by a short scenic ride on the Luštica peninsula road.
9. Luštica Peninsula loop (toward Rose and Žanjic) — quieter roads with sea views, ideal for a half-day loop away from the main traffic.
10. Meljine and Đenovići waterfront — coastal villages just south of town, an easy flat ride with swimming spots along the way.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Herceg Novi?

Most agencies accept an ordinary car licence for machines up to 50cc, though officially you need a moped or light-motorcycle entitlement (category AM, or A1 for larger scooters). If your licence isn't from the EU, bring an International Driving Permit. The usual minimum age is 18, and you should expect to leave a deposit, either a card hold or cash, sometimes alongside a photocopy of your passport.

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Herceg Novi?

Expect to pay 5-10 EUR per day in low season and 15-25 EUR per day in high season, with premium models running 25-35 EUR per day.

• July and August are the priciest months, when demand along the coast peaks.
• November through March is cheapest, though many coastal shops close for the winter.
• Shoulder months tend to land somewhere between the two.

When to book a rental scooter in Herceg Novi?

High season runs July to August, when prices are highest and popular models get booked up early, so reserve ahead if you're travelling then. Low season stretches from November to March, with the lowest prices but fewer shops open. May, June, September and early October hit a sweet spot — mild weather, thinner crowds, and prices closer to the low end.

Local traffic rules in Herceg Novi

Montenegro drives on the right. Helmets are mandatory for both rider and passenger, and it's enforced along the coast. Keep your headlight on at all times, day or night. Speed limits are 50 km/h in town and 80 km/h on the open road outside settlements, unless signs say otherwise. The blood alcohol limit is just 0.03%, so plan on riding sober. If you head toward the mountain roads inland, take the hairpins slowly — they're narrow, unbarriered, and shared with tour buses.
