[[User:Quarim|Quarim]] hitched there in may 2008, coming from Croatia. It seems to be difficult to find someone who is willing to take you over the border. I guess that driving habits are also sometimes horrible. Two drivers stopped for me and wanted to have money, then i decided to take the Bus to [[Shkodër]], [[Albania]]. Since the bus was not departing like it was shown in the schedule, I was on the way with two Albanian workers who stopped cars with Albanian number plates and than haggled for a price with the driver (10 Euros for 3 persons).
[[User:Banzai|Banzai]] faced mayor problems when trying to hitchhike in Montenegro in January 2007. He tried to hitch from Podgorica to Budva (passing to Cetinhe) together with a friend. There weren't too many cars to begin with, the very few that stopped asked money (more then it would take to go with the bus) and - most striking - had three cases of cars driving on all of a sudden after they stopped and opened the doors. When we were getting our backpacks, they drove on - even with open doors!. We spend an entire day trying to get a ride, no luck. In the end we decided to take the bus to the border town, called Herceg-Novi. We pitched the tent near the outskirts of town, and tried to hitchhike to Croatia next day. Again no luck, and since it was close to the border, we got numerous passport controls by different patrols (about 6 controls in 4 hours). After 5 hours, the police wanted to get rid of us so desperately, that they drove us up to the border, and kicked us out of Montenegro.
[[User:Kutikuti|Kutikuti]] hitch-hiked from Shkoder (Albania) to Ulqin as well as all the way back in September 2011. There were not many cars passing by, and he was offered a ride by only 2 drivers total. On the way from Ulqin to Shkoder, he eventually ended up walking across the Montenegro - Albania border after catching one ride and walking for about 2 hours. It is a good idea to take every ride that you can catch even for short distances.
