A private transfer from Podgorica Airport to Žabljak costs €110 per car and takes about 2 hours 30 minutes over 170 km, through the Morača canyon and up onto the Durmitor plateau. In winter the vehicle carries snow tyres and chains.
The drive itself is one of the better ones in the country — the Morača gorge, Đurđevića Tara bridge on the longer variant, then the climb to 1,450 m at Žabljak. Ask for the Tara bridge route when booking if you want the photo stop; it adds about 20 minutes.
Buses from Podgorica to Žabljak run two to three times a day and take four hours, so the transfer mainly buys time and luggage space for ski or hiking gear.
Pickup: Arrivals hall, Podgorica Airport — driver with a name sign, flight tracked.
Drop-off: Žabljak town, or any hotel, apartment or eco-village around Durmitor National Park.
At airports the driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign and tracks your flight, so a delayed landing does not cost you the transfer. At hotels and apartments the pickup is at the door, or the nearest point a car can reach in the old towns.
