What does a new car cost after the purchase?
A new passenger car pays for the registration certificate form, 5 euros, and number plates, 10 euros, plus compulsory third-party insurance at the tariff of the insurer you choose. The annual road charge depends on engine size: 10.50 euros for 901 to 1,350 cm³ and 16 euros for 1,351 to 1,800 cm³. Since August 2026 a new car has its first technical inspection only two years after first registration. The details are in our guide to vehicle registration in Montenegro, and for servicing and inspections mechanics can be found through Glatko's automotive services.
A foreigner registers a car at their place of temporary or permanent residence in Montenegro, so buying a car in your own name requires a residence permit first. The permit itself is handled by lawyers such as RoNa Legal's residence permit service.
New, imported or used?
Montenegro's roads are old: the average registered vehicle is more than 17 years old, and only 7,285 new cars were registered in 2025. Importing a car yourself costs 21% VAT plus 0% or 5% customs duty depending on where the car was made, and only cars meeting at least Euro 5 may be imported used, as our guide to importing a car explains. Eko-fond's 2026 call paying 500 euros for handing in an old car for scrapping showed no remaining funds on 25 September 2026.
