ULCINJ / VELIKA PLAZA
Car rental for Velika Plaza,
ten minutes from town.
Twelve kilometres of sand starting about five kilometres south-east of Ulcinj, reached by signposted turn-offs and running all the way down to driving out to Ada Bojana at the river mouth. A hire car is allowed on paved public roads only.
Ten minutes south,
on paved roads only.
The booking is the same as for any Ulcinj rental. Where the car may go is set by the conditions: paved public roads only.
Follow the signed turn-offs
Copacabana, Miami and the Port Milena end are all signposted from the road, and each leads to lots near the sand.
What to expectStay on the tarmac
Rental cars are allowed on paved public roads only. If an access road turns sandy, go back to the signed route rather than following tyre tracks.
Read the conditionsWhat to have with you
A national licence in Latin script, not a copy, and the deposit card in the main driver’s name. Each car states its own minimum age and driving experience.
What that means in fullTwelve kilometres of sand, reached by signed turn-offs.
BEFORE YOU DRIVE OFF
At the handover,
check three things.
Photograph the wheels and the underside
Wheels, windscreen, the underside and the interior sit outside standard insurance. Record them with the person handing the car over.
Agree where it is being delivered
The delivery point is set per company and shown on the car before you reserve. Keep the phone reachable so it can be moved if the street will not take a car.
Return it clean enough to inspect
A car returned too dirty to inspect is washed at your expense.
How close is the beach,
and where does the car stop?
Velika Plaza starts ten to fifteen minutes from Ulcinj. Rental cars are allowed on paved public roads only, so the car stops where the tarmac does.
The signed turn-offs
The beach begins about five kilometres south-east of the town, and a car booked in Ulcinj reaches it in ten to fifteen minutes. Access is by signposted turn-offs to the named sections, Copacabana and Miami among them, with the Port Milena end nearest the town, and each turn-off leads to lots near the sand.
Podgorica Airport is 75 km away, about an hour and a half, and the Tivat Airport run is about 85 km and two hours down the coast.
Which access roads are sealed the whole way, and what the lots charge, has not been measured. Follow the signed routes to their end and park where the cars are.
Two other places are within twenty minutes: driving down to Valdanos takes a quarter of an hour in the other direction, and parking below the Old Town is under ten minutes away.
Where the car is allowed to be
Rental cars are allowed on paved public roads only. Sand, dunes and emergency tracks are not paved public roads. A car on any of them is outside the conditions and outside the insurance.
Travel sources on this beach give the same advice: do not drive on the sand, do not park on the dunes or on soft sand after rain, and if an access road turns sandy or unclear, go back to the signed route.
Drive to the end of the signed road, park where the other cars are parked, and walk the last part.
Having the car brought to you
Most Ulcinj listings are delivered, and the delivery point is set by the company you book with and shown on the car before you reserve. For the booking system, the pickup points around Ulcinj are all one city, so choosing between them never turns a booking into a one-way. Only the two airports are separate places, and collecting at one of those is what makes a booking a one-way.
Walk round the car with the person bringing it and photograph the wheels, the windscreen and the underside: those three and the interior are what standard insurance does not cover.
Keep the phone reachable afterwards. The number given at booking has to work throughout the rental, on WhatsApp, Viber or Telegram as well as by call.
The state it goes back in
A fortnight of beach days puts sand in a footwell, and a car returned so dirty that it hinders inspection is washed at the customer’s expense.
Parking fines are the renter’s too, for the whole rental.
If something does happen, whatever it is, tell the rental company immediately and get a police report unless they have agreed otherwise. Failing to do either cancels the insurance on the car. The same applies anywhere, including the drive up to Bar.
If you are flying in for this
The transfer from either airport takes an hour and a half to two hours.
The beach is twelve kilometres long, reached by signed access roads.
What do people ask
before they book?
Answers about reaching Velika Plaza by car and about where the car is allowed to be.
Can the car be delivered where I am staying?
Delivery is how most Ulcinj rentals work. The delivery point is set by the company you book with and shown on the car before you reserve it.
Can I drive onto the sand?
No. Rental cars are allowed on paved public roads only; sand, dunes and emergency tracks are outside the conditions and the insurance. If an access road turns sandy, go back to the signed route.
How far is the beach from town?
It starts about five kilometres south-east of Ulcinj, which is ten to fifteen minutes by car, and runs for about twelve kilometres from there to the mouth of the Bojana.
What does the standard insurance not cover?
The wheels, undercarriage, windscreen and interior, and it does not cover deliberate damage or neglect at all. Each car says what a higher level of cover adds.
