Rent a Car in Belgrade for a Weekend Getaway — Zlatibor, Tara & Fruška Gora
The easiest way to escape Belgrade for 2–3 days: which car to rent, what a weekend costs and the best short road trips within 3 hours of the city.
A weekend car rental in Belgrade is the fastest way to swap the city for the mountains. Pick the car up on Friday afternoon in Novi Beograd, drop it back on Sunday evening — three days, unlimited kilometres, one clean price.
Which car to rent for a weekend? A compact automatic like the VW Golf 8 or Skoda Octavia is the sweet spot: comfortable on the highway, easy to park at mountain hotels, and light on fuel. For families and ski weekends in winter, a Dacia Duster or Peugeot 3008 SUV is worth the extra €10–15/day.
Weekend cost example (Friday 14:00 → Sunday 20:00, ~54 hours = 3 days): economy from €45, compact automatic from €75, SUV from €110. All-inclusive with unlimited mileage, basic insurance and free delivery inside Belgrade.
Best weekend routes from Belgrade:
• Zlatibor — 240 km, 3h drive. Mountain resort, gondola, ski lifts in winter, hiking trails in summer.
• Tara National Park — 200 km, 3h. Pine forests, viewpoints over the Drina canyon, Drvengrad.
• Fruška Gora + Novi Sad — 90 km, 1h. Wineries, monasteries and a Saturday-night in Novi Sad's old town.
• Iron Gates (Đerdap) — 150 km, 2h. Dramatic Danube gorge, Roman ruins, Lepenski Vir.
Pickup tips: request free delivery to your Novi Beograd address on Friday afternoon and set the return for Sunday evening in the same block. That saves the price of a Saturday parking spot and lets you leave the city without traffic.
