Convenience

There’s no better way to get from Tivat Airport to Budva than to take a private, air-conditioned taxi. The journey will take you directly to the door of your accommodation in just 25 minutes. The downside is that local drivers may try to overcharge you, and while there are companies like Red Taxi that will stick to a listed price, they can only be booked on arrival, so you’ll be left waiting. Booking with Welcome online is the best way to get a guaranteed, low fare and avoid being taken advantage of.

Editor’s Note

You can fit up to four passengers in a standard Tivat Airport taxi, so splitting the cost will make the journey much more affordable.

Useful Tips

Be sure to agree on a price before beginning your journey. There is a price list on display at the taxi stand, but drivers are free to set their own rates.

Luggage that can fit in the trunk can be transported for free.

If you receive good service, you might like to tip your driver a few extra euros.
