We are planning to rent a car and drive from Podgorica to Dubrovnik in the second half of April. Would you recommend the inland route via E762 and M6 or the coastal route ? And for those who have driven on those routes, how long does it actually take? Google maps says 2:30 hours for the inland route and 3:15 for the coastal route. Are those realistic times ?
Thanks!

I guess there are probalby 4 ways (more actually).
First: https://maps.app.goo.gl/AGD9mnUdLX7nKzcy6 this will give you the opportunity to the Ostrog Monestery and have lunch on the deck of the Sokoline Hotel. But you have two border crossings.
Second: https://maps.app.goo.gl/tzYUgf3eHN6XR9Qu6 the P1 mountain road plus the ferry. You could stop in Kotor and maybe Tivat if you want to go uptown.
Third https://maps.app.goo.gl/DwQJuwi2GGWiGjBAA The Cetinje, P1 Mountain Road, Prosciutto (Zora), Kotor, Perast Novi Herceg Bay of Kotor Route. This is the way I would go.
Fourth: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HWbekiwkshBmWkea7 the same as above with Budva instead of the P1 and Prosciutto for the faint of heart. My second choice.
And I bet you can find other ways. Of the bunch I have done part of the first, the thrid and the fourth. Straight driving I would add 30 minutes to each and you never know about the border crossings. I took the first because we got tipped off that the other crossing was a mess so diverted. But there is so much good to see along the way its a two to four day trip.
Then there is the issue of the rental car. You will need to be sure its okay in Montengro, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia. You didnt mention returning to Podgorica, so you need to be ready to spend a ton of money on drop off fees. I have no idea of the total cost but if it were $750 total for everything I would not be suprised. Or you can contact:
