Considerations Before You Ride in Montenegro
The licence you need depends on the type and power of scooter or motorcycle you want to hire. Montenegro uses motorcycle licence categories including AM, A1, A2 and A, so you should hold a valid licence that covers the vehicle you intend to ride.
As a general guide, AM covers mopeds, while A1, A2 and A progressively cover larger and more powerful motorcycles. A standard car licence should not be assumed to cover larger scooters or motorcycles simply because they have automatic transmission.
Rental companies may also set their own requirements, such as a minimum age or a minimum period for which you must have held your licence.
Before booking: check the engine size/power of your chosen scooter against the motorcycle categories shown on your driving licence and the rental conditions.

Scooters and motorcycles can generally use Montenegro’s public roads, provided the rider holds the correct licence and the vehicle is suitable for that road. Riders must also obey any local restrictions and traffic signs, which can prohibit particular vehicle types or temporarily restrict access. Montenegro’s Road Traffic Safety Law governs these restrictions and road signage.
Pay particular attention when planning routes through mountain areas, tunnels and narrow coastal roads. Road conditions can vary, and temporary restrictions or closures may be introduced, so don’t assume every scenic route will always be accessible.
If you’re hiring a smaller-capacity scooter, check that your planned route is appropriate for the vehicle before setting off. Your rental company can also advise whether its vehicles are subject to any specific road or geographic restrictions.

In Montenegro, both the rider and passenger on a motorcycle or scooter must wear a properly fastened protective helmet while riding. Montenegro’s road-safety framework specifically regulates helmet use for two-wheelers.
Protective jackets, trousers, gloves and motorcycle boots are sensible additions, particularly on Montenegro’s mountain and coastal roads, but they should not be confused with the basic legal helmet requirement.
A helmet may be provided with your rental, and some companies offer additional protective equipment, but what is included varies by rental. Check the equipment listed with your chosen scooter before booking and request anything else you need in advance.

Yes. Rental companies set their own minimum-age requirements, so the age limit can vary depending on the scooter or motorcycle you choose. For example, some Montenegrin scooter operators accept riders from 18, while others require riders to be 21 or older for larger scooters. Motorcycle rentals can have higher minimum ages again.
Your age isn’t the only consideration. You must hold the correct licence category for the vehicle, and some rental companies also require you to have held your licence for a minimum period — one local operator, for example, requires at least two years’ driving experience.
Before booking: check the minimum age and licence requirements shown for your chosen scooter or motorcycle, particularly if you’re under 25.
If you’re travelling from the UK, it is sensible to obtain a 1968 International Driving Permit (IDP) before hiring a scooter or motorcycle in Montenegro. Current UK government guidance lists Montenegro under the 1968 IDP convention.
An IDP does not replace your driving licence, so take your original valid licence as well. You must also hold the appropriate motorcycle entitlement for the scooter or motorcycle you intend to hire.
Rental companies can have their own documentation requirements, so check the conditions for your chosen vehicle before travelling. For UK travellers, a 1968 IDP can currently be obtained in person from participating PayPoint locations.

Yes. In Montenegro you ride on the right-hand side of the road, and you should pay particular attention to posted speed limits and overtaking restrictions. Police can issue fines for speeding, while serious speeding or dangerous overtaking can result in your driving licence being confiscated.
Montenegro also has strict drink-driving rules. The permitted alcohol level is considerably lower than in England and Wales, so the safest approach when riding is not to drink at all. Both rider and passenger must also comply with the country’s motorcycle helmet requirements.
Take extra care on narrow coastal and mountain roads, particularly during the busy summer season. Congestion can be heavy around the coast, while rural and mountain road conditions can deteriorate after poor weather.
Always follow local signs and temporary restrictions, and allow extra time rather than rushing Montenegro’s winding roads.

Yes. Vehicles used on Montenegro’s roads must have compulsory third-party liability insurance, which covers liability for injury or damage caused to other people or their property. A legally operated rental scooter or motorcycle should therefore have this basic cover in place.
However, compulsory third-party insurance does not necessarily cover damage to the rental scooter, theft, your own injuries or the full cost of an accident. The level of additional protection varies between rental companies and vehicles.
Before booking, check exactly what insurance is included, the excess or deposit you could be responsible for, and whether optional collision, theft or other additional cover is available.

Possibly. Additional charges vary between rental companies and vehicles, so check what is included in the quoted price before booking. Common extras can include optional insurance, additional equipment, delivery or collection outside the normal rental location, and permission for cross-border travel.
You may also need to leave a refundable security deposit. For example, one Montenegrin scooter operator currently requires deposits ranging from €100 for smaller scooters to €500 for its largest scooter class. This is normally a security hold rather than part of the rental price, provided the vehicle is returned according to the rental terms.
Fuel, parking charges, road tolls and traffic fines are generally your responsibility. Extra charges can also apply for late returns, missing fuel, lost keys or returning the scooter somewhere other than the agreed location.
The best approach is to check the rental conditions and deposit amount before confirming your booking so you know the total potential cost, not just the advertised daily rate.
