Taxi in Montenegro

There are two types of taxis in Montenegro: independent taxi drivers (private drivers) and taxi companies. The cars of both are equipped with taximeters, have official rates per kilometer and starting fare, the vehicles are in good condition, and no taxi in Montenegro will take you into a dark forest.
Private taxi drivers charge rates that are one and a half to two times higher, and at airports, even three times higher than taxi companies. You can and should negotiate the fare before getting into the car. If you have good negotiation skills, you can lower the price by approximately 20–50% from the initial offer. You can call a private taxi driver only by dialing their mobile number or finding them at a taxi parking area. Such taxi stands are available in the center of every city and on the busiest streets. These are the drivers who will be the first to greet you at the exit of any Montenegrin airport with the amusing phrase, “Taxi need?”

The only difference between private taxi drivers and taxi companies is the price and the way the taxi is ordered.

Taxi companies are significantly cheaper than private drivers. They have fixed rates, and the fare is determined strictly according to the taximeter readings. There is no need to negotiate, and there is no risk of overcharging. Each taxi company in Montenegro has its own rates, which differ slightly from competitors. Good taxi fleets have more than 50 cars in their service, and all vehicles are in good condition. You can order such a taxi in Montenegro by dialing the short phone number displayed on the cars. Dispatchers usually speak English.

If you call a taxi in Montenegro using a SIM card in roaming, you need to dial Montenegro’s country code +382 before the short number.
