Luxury car hire in Kotor
The bay from the heights above Kotor
Kotor rewards a slow car driven slowly: the bay road hugs the water through Dobrota and Perast, and the speed limit is beside the point. Most people who rent a car in Kotor do it for that shoreline and for the Lovcen serpentine above the old town, twenty-five hairpins stacked into the cliff that turn any afternoon into an event.
Luxury car rental in Kotor means the quay, not the old town, which is walled and car-free; delivery happens at the Sea Gate or your hotel just outside. Cruise days crowd the waterfront before noon; locals drive the bay early or late, and they are right.
For renting, Kotor is a base for driving rather than parking. The old town is walled and car-free, so the car lives at your bay-side hotel and comes out for the shoreline and the climb. The two drives that define a Kotor week, the bay loop through Perast and the Lovcen serpentine above the walls, both reward an early start; a planted SUV or the 911 suit the hairpins, while anything wide wants hotel parking over the old-town lanes.
Where we deliver
- Quayside by the Sea Gate, outside the walls

The drives worth planning around
The Lovcen serpentine
Twenty-five numbered hairpins from the old town to the Krstac pass. Narrow, spectacular, and best taken at nine in the morning before the tour vans wake up. The view from the top covers the whole bay.
The bay loop through Perast
Kotor to Perast along the water, coffee opposite Our Lady of the Rocks, then around the head of the bay through Risan. An hour of shoreline with the roof down if you have one.
Over the Vrmac to Tivat
The old military road climbs from the bay over the Vrmac ridge to Tivat, single-track and quiet, the open Adriatic on one side and the inner bay on the other. Driven Kotor-to-Tivat the bay reveal lands at the very end; take something with ground clearance and good visibility.
Planning the details? Driving the Boka coast properly covers it properly.

Good to know
Asked about Kotor.
Everything here applies to every car on the live list; the deposit, the age rule and the delivery point are spelled out on each listing before you pay.
No, the old town is pedestrian-only inside the walls. Delivery happens at the quayside gates or your hotel outside; parking beyond a quick handover is best left to hotel arrangements.
Yes, driven sensibly. The hairpins are tight but surfaced and sighted; the SUVs manage fine and the 911 enjoys it. Avoid the midday window when coaches come down from the viewpoint.
About twenty minutes by road, either around the bay or through the Vrmac tunnel. Many guests have the car delivered to Kotor itself, but collecting at Tivat arrivals and driving in is just as easy; both are arranged when you book.
