Top 5 best scooter rentals in Tivat

Tivat rewards anyone willing to leave the car behind. Pick up a scooter here and the whole Bay of Kotor opens up on your own schedule — the yachts and cafés along Porto Montenegro in the morning, a swim at Plavi Horizonti Beach by afternoon, and dinner back in town with a sunset detour up to Gornja Lastva. This is the kind of place where the best moments happen between the marked sights, and a scooter is what gets you to them.

The Bay of Kotor is dramatic but tight: roads hug the coastline, old towns like Kotor and Perast were built for feet and carts rather than cars, and parking near the marina can eat up half an hour and several euros you didn't plan to spend. A scooter slips through the coastal traffic, tackles the switchbacks up to Vrmac and Gornja Lastva without breaking a sweat, and parks wherever you stop. Everything worth seeing around Tivat — Kotor, Perast, the Luštica peninsula — sits within 10 to 25 km, close enough to feel spontaneous and far enough that walking isn't really an option.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Tivat?

For most scooters up to 50cc, rental shops in Tivat will typically accept an ordinary car driving licence, though this is shop practice rather than a legal guarantee — for anything larger you'll need a proper moped or motorcycle entitlement. If you're travelling on a non-EU licence, bring your International Driving Permit (IDP) along with it. Riders are usually expected to be at least 18, and you should plan on leaving a deposit, either a card hold or cash, with the amount depending on the value of the scooter.

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Tivat?

Expect to pay around 5–10 EUR per day in low season, rising to roughly 15–25 EUR per day in high season, with larger or newer models running 25–35 EUR per day.

• Cheapest: November to February.
• Dearest: July and August, when demand along the bay peaks.

When to book a rental scooter in Tivat?

High season runs July through August, when the coast is busiest and prices climb accordingly — booking a few days ahead is worth it if you want a specific model. Low season stretches from November to March, when many coastal shops scale back or close and prices drop to their lowest. May, June and September strike the best balance: warm weather, thinner crowds, and gentler rates.

Local traffic rules in Tivat

Montenegro drives on the right. Helmets are mandatory for both rider and passenger, and it's enforced along the coast. Keep your headlights on at all times, day or night. Speed limits are 50 km/h in town and 80 km/h on open roads outside settlements, unless signs say otherwise. The blood alcohol limit is just 0.03%, so plan on riding sober, and keep your phone out of your hand while moving. On the winding roads up to Gornja Lastva or Vrmac, watch for blind hairpins and the occasional tour bus taking more than its share of the lane.
