Using Taxi Services in Montenegro: real experience from chats

Short answer
Taxi services in Montenegro primarily operate on a cash-only basis, so confirm payment methods in advance if using an international card. Always carry cash for small vendors and emergencies, and utilize local taxi applications like 'MonteGO' to avoid pricing issues.

From real experience

Travelers in Montenegro often report issues with taxi pricing (lack of apps like Uber/Bolt leads to predatory pricing), hidden service fees (cleaning fees not disclosed in initial quotes), and rigid bureaucratic requirements for bus travel (paper tickets required).
Tourist tax is mandatory, but local hosts often shift the registration burden to guests. Popular tourism peaks in July; prices for accommodation and transfers increase significantly.
