Airport taxi rank
Variesper ride · set on the spot
Fare not fixed — it depends on operator, season and hour, and on a 40 km run a long fare negotiated at the rank is where the surprises are biggest.
- Agree the price first, or insist on the meter
- Queues in July–August; often empty late at night
- Settled in the car, mostly in cash
Local bus
Per personwith a change on the way
- No stop at the terminal — walk to the main road
- Usually a change on the way; not every coastal service stops
- Own timetable, not your flight; standing in season
- Ticket bought on board
On a run this long the quoted fare is the whole gamble. €75 fixed for the car is the number to hold every other offer against, and it does not move if the road is slow.
The drive
After crossing the Grbalj plain and skirting Budva, the road to Petrovac becomes one of the prettiest stretches of the Montenegrin coast — olive groves, glimpses of Sveti Stefan’s famous islet, and the cliff-hugging bends past the Reževići monastery. Around 45 minutes in all, with your driver waiting at arrivals whenever your flight actually lands.
It’s a drive worth staying awake for: the road rides above a string of coves, and the first sight of Petrovac’s red roofs against the pines tells you you’ve chosen the quiet end of the Riviera.
About Petrovac
Petrovac is the Budva Riviera’s calmer cousin: a red-roofed bay town with a small Venetian fortress, a pine-backed promenade, and two of the coast’s nicest family beaches — Petrovac itself and Lučice next door. Quiet in the evening, warm all season, and well placed for Skadar Lake day trips.
Petrovac to Tivat Airport taxi
Heading home, the Petrovac to Tivat Airport transfer costs the same fixed €75 per car. Pickup is at your hotel, apartment or campsite door anywhere around the bay — the town is small enough that no address is awkward — at the time agreed in your booking confirmation.
For departures, allow the 45-minute drive plus check-in: leaving Petrovac around two and a half hours before takeoff keeps things unhurried, with slack for summer traffic where the road passes Budva. We still recommend leaving early: in summer the coastal road through Budva can get very crowded. Our drivers know the alternatives and will take another route when needed — at the same fixed price.
