Collecting Your Car at TIV

Tivat Airport (IATA: TIV) is a single-terminal facility on the bay shore, handling over a million passengers during peak season. The terminal layout works in your favour: domestic and international arrivals share one baggage hall, and the exit doors lead directly to the short-stay car park across a single access road — roughly 40 metres door to door. No shuttle buses operate at TIV because none are needed.

Summer schedules bring easyJet (London Gatwick, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, Belfast), Ryanair (London Stansted, Milan Bergamo, Berlin), TUI (UK charter programme), and Wizz Air (Vienna, Budapest, Dortmund, Memmingen). Winter service drops to daily Belgrade flights and occasional charters, so availability and pricing shift between seasons. Book early for July–August arrivals when demand peaks.

Terminal Layout and Facilities

The terminal has one departures hall (upstairs) and one arrivals hall (ground floor). Inside you will find a cafe, a small duty-free shop, ATMs, and a tourist information desk. Outside the arrivals exit, taxis queue on the left, the short-stay car park is directly ahead, and the main road runs parallel on the right. A Jugopetrol fuel station is 800 metres to the right along the main road — useful for topping up before your return drop-off.

The Small-Airport Advantage

TIV has no inter-terminal transit, no car rental village, no shuttle bus loop. That means your car is closer to the baggage belt than it would be at almost any major European airport. Walk out, cross the road, find your vehicle. The total time from wheels-down to driving off averages 10 minutes for pre-booked customers — faster than clearing the taxi rank.

Our agent meets you at the short-stay car park with keys and paperwork. We monitor flight arrivals in real time, so delays do not affect your pickup. If your flight lands at 2 am, we will be there at 2 am.
