Solino story
‘[soh-lee-nau]’
Solino was born in 1991 as a Renault Traffic Van, but we first met when he was 29. Even though he seemed tired and old, we couldn’t help but fall in love with his charm and strikingness. He liked us too. In February 2020, Solino moved in with us and after six months of nurturing, cleaning, painting, renovation and a lot of love; he is now strong, healthy, happy and ready for all of you who want to rent a Van in Montenegro!
Solino stands for happiness, enjoyment and freedom. It is a neologism that represents the composition of freedom or a section in happiness composition made for primeness by a traveler, with or without accompaniments.
A versatile word, Solino can be used as a verb (“solino to Montenegro today”); a noun (“She drives a beautiful solino“); or an adjective (“I can’t wait for my solino trip in Montenegro”).
In either way, experiencing Montenegro by doing Solino van, having Solino van, or describing with Solino van; means escaping the usual tourism and discovering the magic of pristine nature.
Solino gives you the possibility to visit Montenegrin rough landscapes, charming spots, and get a spontaneous bear hug from many locals you encounter down the road.
Nights in Solino campers have never been more comfortable. Equipped with the kitchen and kitchen tableware, electricity, lights, cozy bed, closet and many more; Solino guarantees a peaceful sleep and open-minded dreams. We will also prepare a bedding for you, fully adapted to the season prevailing in Montenegro: warm blankets in the winter, light sheets and a portable fan for summer.
And not to forget rakija (traditional alcohol beverage of Montenegro) for any season. Rakija to get you going in the mornings. Rakija to cool you off in the evenings. You won’t find a home in Montenegro that doesn’t have a bottle of rakija in the cupboard. Neither will you enter Solino without it
All in all, Solino is a good boy, a dear friend, and an experienced tourist guide – Solino is A VAN FOR YOUR MEMORIES.

Eat and drink like locals do
For the true understanding of Montenegro, we offer you the possibility to try authentic traditional food made with fresh organic ingredients. While locals are very proud of their various culinary skills (every region has their own delicacies) the most interesting thing is that the food goes truly farm to table (the gardens, fields, ponds, or even sea are meters away from your table).
And not to forget rakija (traditional alcohol beverage of Montenegro) for any season. Rakija to get you going in the mornings. Rakija to cool you off in the evenings. You won't find a home in Montenegro that doesn't have a bottle of rakija in the cupboard. Neither will you enter Solino without it.
