Taxi to Petrovac: price from Budva, the airports and along the coast (2026)
In short
Petrovac is the quiet resort at the southern end of the Budva Riviera, 20–25 km from Budva along the highway. A taxi from Budva is €25–35, from Tivat Airport €70–90 at the terminal, from Podgorica Airport €55–95 — Petrovac is the closest resort to the Sozina tunnel, so from Podgorica it is cheaper than Budva. Sveti Stefan €15–20, Bar €20–25. The taxi rank is at the bus station on the highway and at the end of the promenade; in the evening a request through Budva Taxi App is more reliable — tariff estimate shown, price confirmed by the driver, cash with no commission.

Where it is and where taxis stop
Petrovac lies in a bay below the highway: the bus station and main junction are at the top, the beach and promenade 5–10 minutes down steep streets. Two roads lead down to the promenade; on July and August evenings the centre is closed to cars and drivers drop you at the end of the promenade or at the bus station.
Apartments on the slopes above the bay: ask the host for the pickup point — some streets are narrow and one-way.
From Budva and back
20–25 km along the Adriatic Highway through Bečići, Sveti Stefan and Reževići — 30–35 minutes, €25–35 per car on an agreed price (out of town). Buses from Budva bus station towards Bar every 30–60 minutes, €3–4, 35–40 minutes.
Back to Budva in the evening: cars are not always at the bus station; a request for a set time or a call to a Budva company means a 15–20-minute wait.
