Ulcinj road guides,
written for a hire car.

Each guide covers a rental car, which comes with conditions. They say whether a road is sealed and where you have to stop and walk. The same conditions that car rental down in Ulcinj sets at the handover apply on all of these roads.

Where a figure is routed, it says so and gives the engine. Where a fact comes from a tourist organisation, it is attributed. Where nobody has established something, the page says so.

And no page in here quotes a price. The one live number on this site is in the search.

There are three guides: how the roads behave, what the border asks of a hire car, and the drive inland to a fortress ruin. All three work from the same conditions: paved public roads only, the cross-border add-on for leaving the country, and the fuel back at the level it was given.

The short drives from Ulcinj are ten to forty minutes each way. The beach is about five kilometres south-east of the town, and the beach these routes end at runs for twelve of them down to the river mouth, where the fish restaurants are. Bar is about forty minutes north, and the old town on the hill behind it a little nearer.

The guides to those are about two things: where the signed roads end, and what the rental conditions say about the surface past them.

Past the end of the tarmac, a rental car is outside the conditions.

Inland, the lake is about an hour and five minutes, the capital about an hour and a half, and the dead city above Sasko jezero about an hour by the routed roads. The driving guide covers what the roads ask for, from the daytime headlights to the one toll in the country.

South, the Albanian border is closer to Ulcinj than Budva is. Taking a hire car across is an add-on you choose when you book, on a car that offers it.

The beach, the river island, the bay west of town, the southern shore of the lake, the old town and the road to Albania are all covered on the pages where somebody booking a car for them would land. For any of them, each car in the search shows its pick-up point and its delivery terms before you book, for your own dates. Where a place calls for a one-way booking rather than a return, the search prices that too, one-way fee included, before you commit to anything.

The fortress guide covers a ruin an hour inland, where published distances disagree. The olive country has a sentence and a link on the driving guide rather than a page of its own. On any of those drives, the phone number given at booking has to stay reachable for the whole rental, messengers included, because that is how the rental company reaches you.

No drive here needs a large car, and the cars these drives are written for are the small automatics and compacts listed in Ulcinj. Choose between them by the number of people and the luggage.

If you are still working out how to arrive, the airport most readers fly into is 75 km and about an hour and a half north of the town, with Tivat about half an hour further. Both are separate places in the booking system, so collecting at one and finishing here is a one-way.
