Renault Clio

Small hatch for a long Podgorica stay and short days out

Overview

Seats
5

Who it suits

Two people basing themselves in Podgorica for a week or more, driving out most days and parking in the older streets where a bigger car is a nuisance.

  • Couples on a long city stay
  • Lake Skadar and Ostrog day trips
  • Tight parking in Stara Varos

On Montenegro roads

Comfortable on the fast road south to Virpazar and west to Niksic, and small enough to leave almost anywhere in the capital.

About this car

Behind the wheel

The Clio is a small hatchback, and on a Podgorica rental that is usually the point rather than a compromise. The capital is easy to drive but its older streets are not generous, and a car that fits the gaps around Stara Varos is worth more on a two-week stay than any amount of extra power. Out of town it is at home on the roads these guides describe: the run south to Virpazar, the climb toward Ostrog, the fast road west to Niksic.

On Montenegro roads

Two people with luggage are comfortable; four are fine for a day out rather than a fortnight. Because every listing names the exact model and carries its own photographs, you can judge the boot against your own bags before booking instead of trusting a class label. Most of the pool is automatic if you would rather not shift through the city roundabouts, and the manuals tend to sit at the cheaper end of the same list.

Space and load

Book the Clio for a long stay in the city with day trips hanging off it. Look at something larger if the plan is four adults, a northern week with hiking kit, or the Durmitor roads in winter, where space and a bigger engine stop being luxuries.

Two-lane road running along the coast
Steady main-road driving of the kind that makes up most of a week here, and the pace a small hatch is happiest at.
