Driving in Montenegro
Driving in MontenegroThe licence plates you will see on the road in Montenegro, how to read them, and what a car from abroad needs.
Before you drive
- Vignette and tolls
- There is no vignette; it was abolished at the end of 2011. Roads are toll-free apart from some tunnels and bridges.
Rules and prices change. Check the official site before you travel.
Country code
Cars registered here show the country code MNE. Abroad, the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic asks for it at the rear of the car: on a white oval sticker, or as part of the plate. A car from abroad shows its own country code at the rear in the same way.
Reading the plates
Plates carry an area code that shows where the car was registered: 25 codes across 25 municipalities. For example:
