Tivat Airport to Kotor Port transfer: the easiest way to get there
When you land at Tivat Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Kotor Port. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Tivat Airport to Kotor Port transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Tivat Airport to Kotor Port route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Kotor Port is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Tivat Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Tivat Airport (TIV)
Tivat Airport (TIV) is about 3 km south of Tivat town, about 8 km from Kotor Old Town, about 20 km from Budva and about 35 km from Herceg Novi by the Kamenari ferry.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Tivat Airport to Kotor Port transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Tivat Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "TIV to Kotor Port" or "TIV airport transfer" land here for a reason: TIV is the airport code for Tivat Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Kotor Port.
Tivat Airport to Kotor Port at a glance

Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day.

Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Tivat Airport to Kotor Port?
An airport taxi from Tivat Airport to Kotor Port means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Tivat Airport to Kotor Port per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Kotor Port involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Kotor Port, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Tivat Airport to Kotor Port: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Tivat Airport runs mainly into Kotor itself: tivat Airport is only 8 km away and local buses and taxis run to Kotor, but there is no train; a private car is simpler for a family with luggage, a late arrival, Budva, Perast, Herceg Novi, Cetinje or the drive to Dubrovnik, where the old town is closed to cars and the border needs passports. Reaching Kotor Port from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Kotor Port once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Tivat Airport to Kotor Port transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Kotor Port
Kotor Port is the cruise and ferry quay right beside the old town walls, about 8 km from Tivat Airport. Kotor Port is the cruise terminal of Montenegro, with berths along the waterfront at the foot of the old town walls, so ships stop almost inside the bay's most photographed view. Passengers step off within a few minutes' walk of the Sea Gate, and the fortress steps, cafes and the maritime museum are close. On busy summer days several large ships call at once, and the narrow lanes fill up early. The quay also serves small tour boats that leave for Perast and the Lady of the Rocks.
Things to do in Kotor Port
What to see in Kotor Port: Cruise berths under the old town walls, Sea Gate a few minutes' walk away, Boats to Perast and the Lady of the Rocks and Waterfront cafes. Ask the driver which to do first on the drive from Tivat Airport - they know the area, and the desk arranges transport for any of them later in your stay.
Kotor itself is within reach for a day: A boat trip around the bay, The Old Town and the Sea Gate and Cathedral of St Tryphon - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Kotor Port
Where you stay in Kotor Port makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Kotor old town, Dobrota along the bay and Tivat and Porto Montenegro - and any other address is fine too.
Send the ship name and departure time so the driver can allow for the arrival at the gangway; on big cruise days traffic around the port is slow.
Meeting your driver at Tivat Airport
Every airport is laid out differently, and Tivat Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Tivat Airport to Kotor Port transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.
Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Tivat Airport.
Our vehicles for the Kotor Port transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.
As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.
Who books the Kotor Port transfer
Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Tivat Airport to Kotor Port on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.
If your trip continues beyond Kotor Port - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Tivat Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.
How to book your Kotor Port transfer
Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Kotor Port. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at Tivat Airport
Send your flight number and hotel name; the old town is closed to cars, so the driver stops at the car parks near the gates, and carry passports for any trip to Dubrovnik, Herceg Novi or Albania.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Tivat Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.
If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.
Kotor Port to Tivat Airport: the return transfer
The same service runs the other way. For a Kotor Port to Tivat Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Tivat Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.
The Kotor Port to Tivat Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.
Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Kotor Port transfers
Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Tivat Airport to Kotor Port transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.
