Top tips when hiring a car in Croatia

  • Understand the Insurance Coverage: Before you drive off, make sure you fully understand what your rental insurance covers. In Croatia, it's crucial to have both third-party liability insurance and collision damage waiver (CDW) as a minimum. Consider additional coverage like theft protection (TP) for extra peace of mind.
  • Familiarize Yourself with Local Driving Laws: Croatia drives on the right-hand side of the road. Speed limits, seat belt laws, and zero tolerance for drunk driving are strictly enforced. Be aware of the specific requirements for driving in Croatia, such as the obligation to keep headlights on during the day outside of urban areas and the need to carry a reflective vest in the car at all times.

  • Choose the Right Car for Your Journey: Consider the nature of your trip when selecting a vehicle. Compact cars are great for navigating the narrow streets of historic towns, while an SUV might be more comfortable for exploring the country's national parks and rural areas. During summer, a car with air conditioning is highly recommended due to the high temperatures.

  • Prepare for Toll Roads: Croatia has a network of toll roads, especially the motorways (autoceste) connecting major cities. Tolls can be paid in Croatian kunas, euros, and by credit cards. Keep some cash on hand, and consider renting an electronic toll collection (ETC) device if you plan on using motorways frequently.

  • Parking and Urban Navigation: In popular tourist destinations and cities like Dubrovnik, Split, and Zagreb, parking can be scarce and often requires payment. Familiarize yourself with the parking zone system, and always check for signs indicating parking regulations. In historic city centers, be prepared to navigate narrow, one-way streets and consider parking outside the center and walking or using public transport to explore.
