Top tips for renting a car in Serbia
- Most travelers who rent a car in Serbia will want to avoid driving in Belgrade, where traffic is usually very congested and confusing. However, a lack of public transport in the rest of the country means that exploring outside of the cities is best done by rental car. Having a car opens up the possibility of visiting destinations like the southern ski resorts, the Golubac Fortress, the Tara Mountains, and Uvac National Park, not to mention the many "spomenik" war monuments scattered around the country.
- It is important to note that on-street parking in Serbian cities is paid almost entirely by SMS rather than by parking meter, meaning that anyone who wishes to use this option will need to have a Serbian SIM card. An alternative option is the wide range of attended parking lots in cities such as Belgrade; these are relatively inexpensive, they accept cash payment, and they offer an added level of security.
- New child car seat laws were introduced in Serbia in 2018 and now require a hefty penalty of up to 120,000 RSD (1,100 USD) if ignored. Children must be over 12 years old to be allowed to sit in the front seat of a vehicle, and all children under 135 cm (54 in) need to be restrained in an age-appropriate seat. Rental agencies can provide these when booked in advance; expect to pay a daily fee of around 590 RSD (5.60 USD) with an agency like Hertz.
- Most rental agencies allow drivers to rent a car in Serbia and travel into neighboring countries, though usually not into Albania, Turkey, or Ukraine. Cross-border travel into Kosovo is also not usually permitted with a rental car. Additional fees, around 5,900 RSD (56 USD) with an agency like Enterprise, and paperwork are required by most agencies, meaning that you should always check first before traveling to another country.
