Top tips for renting a car in Croatia

  • Croatian law dictates that children under the age of 12 are not allowed to travel in the front seat of a vehicle and must be placed in a car seat or booster seat in the back. If you are traveling with children under five years old, they need to be placed in a child restraint in the rear seat. If you cannot bring your own car seat to Croatia, you will be able to rent one from the rental company for an additional cost of around $10.
  • If you are planning to stick to the historic cities of Croatia, you should consider renting a compact car so that you can negotiate the narrow roads. On the other hand, if you plan to do a lot of motorway or countryside driving, a saloon model might be more appropriate and more comfortable.
  • Many people who rent a car in Croatia will want to take a trip to neighboring Bosnia and Hercegovina or Montenegro. Cross-border journeys are permitted for a daily surcharge, which will depend on the category of your vehicle. You will not be allowed to take your rental car on the ferry across to Italy.
  • There are many advantages of renting a car in Croatia, considering the main mode of transport in the country is bus, which is time-consuming. The Plitvice Lakes Natural Park consists of 16 lakes and cascades that can only be reached by car. The new highways connecting Zagreb to Split also make it easy to visit multiple cities on your trip. There is also a scenic route along the Jadranska Magistrala Adriatic coastal road.
