Tips for renting a car in Croatia

  • Renting a car in Croatia is the best and sometimes only option for getting to your destinations, depending upon your itinerary. Public transportation requires many transfers in Croatia, while renting a car gives you the freedom to make as many or as few stops as you wish. And depending upon where you stay, a rental car may be necessary to get you to basic amenities such as ATMs, grocery stores, and banks. Croatia is home to some beautiful coastal villages that live off-the-beaten-path and which you won’t want to miss but can’t experience without your own means of transportation.
  • When booking your rental car in Croatia, you will want to consider the time of year you will be visiting. As with many services during peak travel season, car rental prices increase significantly during Croatia’s busy July and August months. In addition to rocketing prices, the number oftravellerss visiting at this time can affect the availability of rental cars. We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure you secure your rental and get the best possible price. This is especially true if you are interested in renting an automatic car, as Croatia and most European companies tend to have more manual cards on hand.
  • One thing to note before you head out in your rental is that you will be charged an additional fee through your rental company if you intend to bring your car on a ferry. Basic insurance allows you to drive on the Croatian islands, but it will not cover damage that might take place while at sea. Note that ferry schedules can vary. We recommend that you check the ferry's calendar in advance and arrive early, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Car rental FAQs

  • Should I rent a car in Croatia?

    Renting a car in Croatia is one of the most convenient and limitless ways to explore Croatia. Though the country is small, it is long, and public transportation is not available to some of its more distant points of interest, like the Peljesac Peninsula or the Korak Winery. Having your own vehicle ensures that you will not miss out on anything this country has to offer.

  • What is driving like in Croatia?

    Driving in Croatia is simple and convenient as the country’s infrastructure is very well executed. Multilane highways cross the country vertically and horizontally, with a series of toll-free national roads running parallel to the tolled highways. All main roads are asphalted and wide, with clear traffic signs posted at regular intervals. If you choose to use tolled highways, be mindful that they are often cash-only. Carry local currency for convenience. Also, be mindful of the country's underground. You will want to ensure that your headlights are on before you enter these, regardless of the time of day. This is a legal requirement as well as being helpful to your visibility.

    Croatia has a minimum age requirement of 18 for renting vehicles in the country, and a maximum age of 80. A fee will be added to the overall cost of the rental for drivers between the ages of 18 and 20. Some rental companies will also charge an extra fee for drivers who are more than 70 years old. You will also need to have a valid driver's license and a credit card on file with which to make your security deposit at the time of pickup. Note that you will need to have been in possession of your driver's license for a minimum of 2 years for it to be considered valid.
