Renault Kadjar car rental in Montenegro

Five adults travel properly in it, with enough rear knee room that the person in the middle is not the loser on a two-hour drive. The boot handles two large cases and two cabin bags, though five people with five big cases is asking too much of any car this size. For a group of four it is generous rather than merely adequate.

It suits that route well: long climbs, mixed surfaces and a full car are exactly what a mid-size SUV is built around, and the higher stance helps on the rougher stretches near the Tara canyon. Mileage is unlimited on almost every car in the fleet, so the distance itself is not a concern. Navigation units are not rented out on any car, so download offline maps before you leave, because phone signal drops in the canyons and on the Durmitor ring.

In Podgorica it is fine, since the newer grid has wide streets and normal parking bays. The tighter squeeze comes in the older coastal towns, where lanes narrow and parking is at odd angles, so allow a little more time and use the parking sensors or camera if this car has them (listed on its page). Anyone nervous about width may prefer a compact crossover for a coast-only trip.

A second driver can be added on almost every car for a supplier fee, provided they meet the same age and experience rules as the main driver. Both drivers need to be present with their licences at pickup so the paperwork covers them. Minimum driving experience varies by car, and the lowest accepted anywhere in the fleet is one year, with the requirement for this car shown on its listing.

Free cancellation applies to many cars in the fleet rather than all of them, so check that it is marked on this car for your dates. Where it does apply, cancelling more than 24 hours before pickup returns the advance payment in full. Inside that 24-hour window the terms are different, which is worth knowing if you are booking around a flight that might move.

The default free tier is third-party liability only, with no collision or glass cover, so budget for the paid Basic tier or higher if you want damage to the Kadjar itself covered. A deposit is taken at pickup and is most often paid in cash; card is accepted at a smaller number of suppliers, and a credit card is never a requirement. Some cars need no deposit, and a paid option can remove it on others, with this car's terms set out on its listing.
