What a taxi really costs in Podgorica
Podgorica is small and taxis are cheap by European standards — if you know the going rate. Here is what a ride should actually cost.
In short
- Starting fare: ~€1
- Per kilometre: ~€0.50–0.70
- Across the city: ~€3–5
- To Podgorica Airport (TGD): ~€12–15
What is normal
Most rides inside Podgorica land between €3 and €5. The airport, about 12 km from the centre, runs €12–15. Licensed taxis have a meter and a company name on the door — use those.
How to avoid overpaying
Agree the price, or make sure the meter is on before you set off, especially at the airport and bus station. Booking through an app removes the guesswork: you see the fare up front and pay the same whether it is your first day or your fiftieth.
Paying
Cash in euros is accepted everywhere; app rides can be paid by card. Tipping is not expected — rounding up is plenty.
