Environmentally friendly car rental in Croatia

Information about driving in Croatia

Once you have landed in Croatia and picked up your rental car from the designated office, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey!

In Croatia, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

The speed limits in Croatia are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on secondary roads, and 130 km/h on highways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.

From November 15 to April 15, winter tires or snow chains are mandatory on certain roads, especially in mountainous areas. By law, vehicles in Croatia must carry a reflective safety vest and a warning triangle. These should be used in case of breakdowns or accidents. But don't worry – we take care of those, if you choose our rental car!

The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05% for drivers over 24 years of age. For drivers under 24 years old, the limit is 0.00%. Penalties for driving under the influence are strict and can include heavy fines, license suspension, or imprisonment.

Drivers must stop for pedestrians at marked crosswalks, as pedestrians always have the right of way.

In urban areas, pay attention to parking zones marked by different colors: blue zones indicate paid parking, while yellow zones are reserved for specific uses (like deliveries or disabled parking).

While fuel stations are readily available in cities and along highways, they may be less frequent in remote or rural areas. It is advisable to fill up your tank when traveling to less-populated regions.

Croatia has a network of toll roads (autoceste) that connect major cities and regions. Tolls can be paid in cash, by credit card, or through the ENC electronic toll collection system.
