Croatia is an enchanting country that is finally getting more and more attention as a holiday destination. There are many historical places to visit as well as beautiful natural areas where you can walk and enjoy the scenery. If you want to know more about history, you can spend some time in Dubrovnik where you can visit the ancient city walls as well as the Old Town area. The city is also home to Lokrum Island, not to mention the cable car which offers fantastic views of the city. In the city of Split, you can visit the Diocletian's Palace. Those who want to go hiking should head to the Plitvice Lakes National Park.

Use a rented car

Since there are so many interesting things to see and do, you may wonder how you can see as much as possible while on vacation. One of the best ways to do this is to rent a car when you arrive in the country. When you rent a car in Croatia, you must make sure that you have insurance that will protect you while you are there. Drivers from the United States will need to have a driver's license as well as an international driver's license. You must also carry your passport with you at all times.

Make sure you have the necessary insurance through the rental company. Also, make sure they give you their phone numbers in case you need to contact them.

Road conditions and safety

Croatia drives on the right and you must be at least 18 years old to drive in the country. Dipped headlights must be turned on even during daylight hours. They have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drunk driving. It is important to note that you are not allowed to turn right at a red light, which is different from the United States.

Seat belts are required for the driver and all passengers in the vehicle. Public transport and school buses will always have the right of way. In addition, vehicles entering the roundabout will have right-of-way.

Drivers in Croatia can be aggressive and do not always follow the rules of the road. Since this is the case, you need to be careful about what other drivers are doing so that you can react.

Road fee

In Croatia, tolls on motorways have to be paid. The amount of the payment depends on the type of vehicle. When you enter the track you get a coupon and then when you get off you turn the coupon into an operator and at that time you make the payment. You can pay with cash, credit cards and electronic payments.
