Transport from Podgorica Airport: My Tips
Special airport buses run directly to the terminal. You can also use taxis or one of the many car hire companies.
Car hire
Set off on a road trip through the mountains or to Montenegro’s holiday resorts and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of this small Balkan country.
There are several major international car hire companies operating in the arrivals hall. Weekly hire rates during the summer season start from 230 eur.
Taxis
The Uber, Lyft and Bolt apps aren’t available in Podgorica, but you can use a similar app called Teslagoapp (Google Play / App Store.
There are also always plenty of traditional taxis waiting outside the terminal.
Payment is always in cash and taximeters are not usually used. Fares to the main destinations in Montenegro are fixed.

Different bus companies run different buses to Podgorica for different lengths of time (with different numbers of intermediate stops) and at different prices - from 1.50 EUR to 2.70 EUR. Tickets can also be bought at the kiosk at the airport exit, and they will even print them for you. It's actually just the aforementioned website, so even still, it stinks at searching.
Thanks, I'll edit.
And the dealer adds a commission, which is only shown after the connection has been selected.
In the opposite direction (Podgorica -> TGD airport) buses can also run at different prices (for example 1,80 eur or 3,00 eur).
Financially, a train (Podgorica -> Aerodrom) for 1.20 euros followed by a health walk along the pesince to the TGD airport) looks more cost-effective.
I find the very second sentence of the guide somewhat misleading. By "public transport" I imagine the special buses mentioned below.
Thank you, the buses and the taxi app have been modified.
There is already a direct bus to the airport from Podgorica bus station ( and with less frequency Ulcijn) web link https://www.cdm.me/drustvo/poceo...podgorica/
