From real experience

tipIn Montenegro, traditional taxi apps like Uber are not common.
It is recommended to use Viber or WhatsApp to contact local taxi services. Contact information is often found in the group's pinned messages. Example: Taxi Calaja Ulcinj, +382 68 019 761, can be contacted via WhatsApp.

Private drivers picking up acquaintances may face questioning. To avoid being flagged as an illegal taxi, ensure passengers sit in the front seat, as empty front seats are a primary indicator used by authorities to identify potential illegal transport.
