Car Rental
If you want to get to know Croatia thoroughly, rent a car. This way you can see the most beautiful places in a short time. Rental car desks are located at the airport or you can order online at a website (for example, rentalcars).
Cost: from 35 EUR per day for an economy car.
Minuses of renting:
- If you plan to spend all your time on the beach or intend to stay only in the big cities of Croatia, like Dubrovnik, Split, Zagreb - renting a car will be an unreasonably expensive expense.
- Also, take into account that there are toll roads in Croatia, and also during the rental you will have to pay a deposit of 850 to 3000 EUR.
The pros of renting:
- If you're vacationing in a small town, you'll have to carpool to the stores.
- If you want to see Croatia in a short time, a rental car can help you do it in a week. It is very tiring to make such a trip by public transportation.
