Tivat Airport and Boka Bay

Car Hire at Tivat Airport (TIV)

Tivat Airport sits on the inner shore of Boka Bay, just 4 km from Tivat town centre and 35 km from Herceg Novi. For visitors heading to the City of Sun and its spa quarter, this is the closest airport — and the most scenic arrival, with the bay unfolding around every turn of the approach road.

Year-round daily flights connect to Belgrade, with charter and seasonal services expanding heavily during the summer months. The airport is renowned among pilots for its challenging approach through the surrounding mountains — and among travellers for the stunning views on descent over the bay.

Distances from Tivat Airport

  • Herceg Novi: approximately 35 minutes (or 20 min via Verige ferry)
  • Kotor: approximately 10 minutes
  • Budva: approximately 20 minutes
  • Podgorica: 80 km inland

Airport Facilities

The terminal offers cafes, duty-free shopping, souvenir stores, and taxi ranks outside arrivals. Bus services run to Herceg Novi and Budva, but a rental car gives you the freedom to reach the Igalo spa quarter, the botanical gardens, or the Dubrovnik border on your own schedule.

Why Collect at Tivat Airport?

Tivat Airport puts you within minutes of Montenegro's most celebrated coastal destinations. Head north along the bay toward Kotor and Perast, south through the tunnel to Budva's beaches, or west across the Verige ferry to Herceg Novi's garden-draped riviera. No transfers, no bus timetables — just straight from the terminal to the open road.

We meet you at the arrivals hall with your name on a sign. Your car is parked right outside. From landing to driving: about 10 minutes.
