Toyota Yaris car rental in Montenegro

It is one of the more frugal cars people book here, which counts when you are covering Podgorica to Zabljak and back down to the coast. Mountain sections and air conditioning in July will push consumption up regardless of the car. Filling stations are plentiful on the main routes, though they thin out on the northern back roads, so top up before a long stretch.

Cross-border travel is a paid add-on available on a subset of cars, not something included by default. You select the relevant option at booking, which is what arranges the Green Card and the supplier's permission for that trip. Different countries sit in different option groups, with Albania and Kosovo covered by a narrower set, so pick the option that matches your actual route.

Four adults fit, but the boot is a small-hatchback boot: two cabin cases and a rucksack rather than four large suitcases. Families often travel with one big case in the boot and softer bags behind the front seats. If most of your group is checking full-size luggage, look at the compact class instead.

Most cars can be booked without a credit card. Rent can be paid in cash on every car in the pool and by card on most of them, and the deposit at pickup is most often taken in cash. Some cars require no deposit at all, and on others a paid service removes it, so check the listing if that matters to you.

An additional driver can be added on almost all cars for a supplier fee, including this class, provided they meet the same age and driving-experience rules as the main driver. Bring their licence to the handover so they can be added properly. Splitting the wheel is worth it on the Podgorica to Herceg Novi and back stretch.

Many cars, including this one, offer instant booking and are confirmed straight away. Where a car is on request instead, the check runs automatically and normally completes within a few minutes rather than hours. Either way you are booking that specific vehicle, not a class of car.
