A long day across three countries: north from Tirana Airport past Shkodër, through Montenegro by Podgorica and the Tara canyon, and into Bosnia at Šćepan Polje on the way to Sarajevo. One car and one driver for the whole drive.
Your landing at Rinas and the drive north through Montenegro to Sarajevo.
Once you have your bags, come out through the arrivals exit, where your driver waits with a name sign. The car takes the A1 north past Shkodër and crosses into Montenegro at Hani i Hotit. After Podgorica and Lake Skadar the road climbs through Nikšić and along the Tara canyon at the edge of Durmitor, crosses into Bosnia and Herzegovina at Šćepan Polje and continues by Foča to Sarajevo.
This is a full day in the car. Land in the morning if you can, and keep every passenger’s travel document in your hand luggage: there are two non-Schengen borders, and both sides check documents at each one.
We follow your flight, so the 60 minutes of free waiting start from the actual landing, not the timetable. Your driver loads the bags and heads north on the A1, with no detour through Tirana.
Through Montenegro and over the second border at Šćepan Polje, then down through Foča to Sarajevo. Drop-off at your hotel or address.
With two borders and mountain roads this is one of the longest airport transfers we offer. Some travellers break it with a night in Podgorica, Kotor or near Durmitor; tell us in your request and we quote the drive as two days. If you go in one go, a private car keeps you, your cases and your driver together from the arrivals hall to your Sarajevo door.
Priced on request, per vehicle rather than per passenger. Your written quote covers the drive, fuel, the pickup timed to your flight and 60 minutes of free waiting.
We monitor reported flight delays and adjust the pickup time accordingly. Sixty minutes of waiting after actual landing are included.

No rush—collect bags, buy a SIM, grab a coffee

From Sarajevo we also drive to Mostar, Dubrovnik, Belgrade and Zagreb — all from the same Sarajevo hub.
About 417 km by road, roughly 8h 30m without stops. Time at the two borders comes on top and varies with the season.
Two: Albania to Montenegro at Hani i Hotit, then Montenegro to Bosnia and Herzegovina at Šćepan Polje. None of the three countries is in Schengen, so documents are checked at each crossing. Which document is accepted depends on nationality: for some travellers a valid identity card is enough, others need a passport, and some need a visa. Check the current entry rules for all three countries.
North past Shkodër into Montenegro, through Podgorica and Nikšić, along the Tara canyon at the edge of Durmitor, then into Bosnia at Šćepan Polje and on through Foča to Sarajevo.
Yes. A night in Podgorica, Kotor or near Durmitor breaks the drive. Mention it in your request and we quote both days.
At the arrivals exit, where the driver waits with a name sign. Send your flight number with the request: we follow the flight, and the 60 minutes of free waiting start from the actual landing.
This route is priced on request. We quote per vehicle, not per passenger, for your date, group and any stops, and you receive the quote in writing before anything is confirmed.
Request this transfer with your flight number, date, group size and Sarajevo address. We reply during our working hours with a written quote per vehicle.
