Driving

by smirnofforiginal

The roads in Croatia are not great although there are more motorways being built now, but driving is painfully slow (not in speed limits but due to the indirect road systems).To drive in Croatia you must have your full UK drivers licence, passport, registration documents, adequate insurance (and this isn't cheap as it is considered a "high risk country" - I don't understand why!) and your green card.You MUST have your headlights on at all times. It is the law.It is illegal to overtake military convoys or long lines behind slow moving vehicles.You should not pass a bus if passengers are getting on/off.Public transport and school buses have right of way when leaving a stop.You should not drive on tram linesChildren under 12 years of ages CANNOT sit in the front of a car.Speed limits are : Built up areas 50kph Open roads 80/100kph Motorways 130kphCaravans and cars towing a trailer are...

GPS navigation in Croatia: A good programme

by sabsi

If you are planning to go to Croatia by car and you happen to have a GPS system I can only recommend one programme: It's a Croatian programme called Mirea "Via GPS". Unlike all major programmes on the European market this programme has almost all streets in its database, most other programmes only know the major roads in Croatia. We used Via GPS and found all booked accommodation quite easily in Zagreb, Zadar, Trogir and Dubrovnik. Without the system it would have been a nightmare to navigate, especially in Zagreb and in Dubrovnik. Sometimes the programme has a few hickups though, it wants you turn around suddenly or tell you to drive right into some unpaved roads. It's also not very comfortable, it doesn't show you your expected arrival time or the speed limits. Sometimes it tells you 2 kms before you need to turn that you need to turn, sometimes it doesn't. But we didn't care, we only...

Domestic Flights

by sabsi

There are many airports in Croatia, the most frequented ones are located on the coast. We stayed close to Split airport for 3 nights and boy, there was some traffic there!The most important airports for you to get from A to B in Croatia by plane are:Dubrovnik Cilipi --- DBV Rijeka --- RJK Pula --- PUY Split Kastela --- SPUZadar Zemunik --- ZADZagreb Pleso --- ZAGThe most important link for domestic flights is the one I put into the Website field in the end of this tip, the website of the Croatian national airline, Croatia Airlines.I have only been to Zagreb airport. It's one of the smallest airports I have ever been in. Not much entertainment there so bring a book. But it's very convenient, you can get off the plane, get into the bus, get into the terminal building, go through the passport control, go to the toilet, have a cigarette, collect your luggage, go through customs and get money...

How to get around without a car

by sabsi

Trains are not very often used in Croatia, people go by bus if they want to go from A to B. While driving around the country we didn't even see one train ... but lots of coaches overtook us on the curvy country roads ;)There are regular services between all bigger cities. Tickets are not expensive and there are many bus companies providing these services. I am not a big coach lover but we went to Opatija one winter day and I survived. I still prefer to drive myself because you can stop whereever you like and you are faster (If the busses don't overtake you all the time that is ;)The bus terminals in major cities like Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split are bigger than you'd expect, they almost work as train stations. So if you don't want to drive yourself, don't worry. A bus will bring you almost everywhere you would like to go to...Here are some examples for travel times and prices:Zagreb -...

9 kms through Bosnia and Herzegovina

by sabsi

If you drive all the way to Dubrovnik you will need to drive through Bosnia and Herzegovina for a litte while, the town you drive through is called Neum (and in my opinion rather ugly because of too many big hotels). You only need your passport for the transit, no visa or anything. Not sure about the green insurance card for your car (which you normally need for BiH, better carry it with you, anyway. Just in case!)Well this tips isn't about warnings, it's about bargains! Fill your car up with petrol there! You will save a lot of money. And if you smoke... even better, make sure to buy some cigarettes, too. When we drove through a litre of Euro 95 was approx. 0,90 EUR, Fags were 1 EUR for a package of West Lights. When we passed through and saw these prices we were already looking forward to our stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Make sure to have cash ready by the way. The day we drove...

Toll on the motorways

by sabsi

Croatia's motorways are mostly excellent. Very new, clean and safe. And we were lucky, when we took the motorway we were almost all the time alone, it was unbelievably empty. I guess this changes in summer though - especially on the new road from Zagreb to Split (which will hopefully will be going all the way to Dubrovnik in 2008). Here's a list of toll prices which might be helpful for your planning (valid for normal cars, not motorhomes etc):Zagreb - Karlovac 16 knZagreb - Rijeka 56 knZagreb - Zadar 109 knZagreb - Sibenik 134 knZagreb - Dugopolje 157 knZagreb - Slavonski Brod 72 knAll prices you find on the website of HAK mentioned below.

Driving in Croatia

by sabsi

In May 2007 we drove all the way from Germany into Austria into Slovenia into Croatia. In Croatia we went to Zagreb, then to Plitvice Lakes, to Zadar on the coast and down the coast all the way to Dubrovnik. It's a good way to see a lot of the country's variety - wide open plains, mountains, lakes, mediterranean landscape and of course the beautiful coast. Here are some tips that might be helpful for you if you will travel around Croatia by car:Light must be switched on all the time while driving in Croatia.There is zero blood alcohol limit. At least that's what I heard. On several websites I still find the info 5 mg though.Be careful on country roads. Local drivers drive like maniacs and overtake basically EVERYWHERE. You get used to it after a while and we didn't even say anything anymore when a coach overtook us 10 metres before a corner. The people here seem to have trust in their...

Bus, the transportation in Croatia

by Renteboy

As the Dalmatian region is only a small coast strip, there is no train or highway to transport yourself in a fast way. In fact the only way is to follow the main-road which runs almost parallel with the coast itself. So your stuck to car or bus transport. The big advantage of using the bus is the elimination of stress when driving in unknown areas and habits.As this is not a common habit in Europe, let me explain how this is setup: - There is local bus facility as we know, making loops trough the city and/or connecting the outer parts, which are owned by the government.- But there are bus facilities that interconnect the bigger cities also owned by private bus companies. You can go to such bus-station, and travel to almost anywhere in the country in regular times. Almost every city of reasonable size has it own "big bus stop".

rent a car, different take/drop place in DALMATIA

by madallo

If you plan to take a car in Dubrovnik and drop in Split (or vice versa) for short period of time, I recommend euro car rental (http://www.eurocar-rental.com.hr). We paid 65 euro for 24 hrs, new corsa 1.2 with A/C. It is expensive when compared to other countries but not so if you take Croatia.
