If you do not feel up to a long journey with your own car, or if you live far from the border, you can opt for the quickest and most comfortable solution: reach Croatia by plane or by sea and rent a car directly at the point of arrival.

Although the bus connections are efficient, the best way to travel around Croatia is definitely by car: you will not be limited by timetables or locations, you will be able to move freely, choosing from time to time where to stop and reach the places that are less accessible by public transport but certainly the most fascinating!

Frequently asked questions about car rental in Croatia

Here are some quick answers to the most common doubts about car rental in Croatia.

More and more people are choosing to rent a car to reduce contacts and increase social distancing, avoiding the often crowded public transport.

Car rental companies are committed to higher hygiene standards to minimize the risk of transmitting the virus.

All the safety measures we are accustomed to are taken at the rental desks and the cars are disinfected after each rental, especially the areas most at risk, such as seats, gearboxes, handles and steering wheel.

Undoubtedly yes. During the pandemic, almost all car rental companies in Croatia were forced to reduce their car fleet to reduce operating costs.

When tourism in Croatia has restarted, due to the crisis in raw materials and electronic components, they have not managed to buy back enough cars.

The consequence is that today every company has far fewer cars than in 2019 and cannot cope with the high demand. This leads to higher prices and less availability, especially during the high season.

The advice we give you is therefore to book the car well in advance, both to get the best prices but above all to be sure of having a rental car.

To reserve a car in Croatia a credit card or debit card is sufficient. However, when you go to collect the car, you will need:

  • a credit card in the name of the driver. Debit and ATM cards are not accepted;
  • copy of the reservation;
  • a driving license valid for at least 12 months;
  • an identity document.

The car rental companies in Croatia allow to rent a car to all those who are between 21 and 70 years old. However, there is an additional cost for under 25 and for those over 70.

A car rental in Croatia always includes:

  • theft insurance;
  • limitation of liability for damage to the vehicle;
  • local, road and airport taxes.

Any extras or additional insurance coverage are separate.
