Private transfer (pre-booked)
The most convenient option is a pre-booked private transfer. Several transfer companies serve the Tivat–Budva route. Prices vary by company and vehicle type, check current fares on platforms such as Welcome Pickups, Kiwitaxi, or directly with local operators before booking. Pre-booking means a driver meets you at arrivals with your name on a sign.
Taxi from the rank
Taxis are available at the airport taxi rank outside arrivals. As with anywhere, agree the fare before departing or confirm the meter is running. Ask your hotel or accommodation host for a rough current fare expectation before you travel.
Bus
There are bus connections from Tivat and the surrounding area toward Budva, but the airport is not directly on a major bus line, you may need to reach Tivat town first. Check timetables and current routes at busticket4.me or buscmontenegro.com, or ask at your accommodation. Frequency is lower than taxis and transfers.
