Top tips for hiring a car in Sarajevo
- It is highly recommended to rent a car during your time in Sarajevo, simply because there is no more efficient way to get around the city and country than with one. If you want to visit the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun, for example, you could pay extra for a tour to take you there, or you could take in the countryside and drive the 35 kilometers (21.7 miles) to see one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s more unique sights for yourself.
- Looking to pick up a hire car after arriving at Sarajevo International Airport? Such travelers will find the hire car desks located in the main terminal’s Arrivals Hall.
- One thing to keep in mind when road tripping outside of Sarajevo is that many of the roads and motorways are single lane roads, meaning cars passing each other is a very common occurrence. Be prepared for local drivers to pass you on such roads, and keep your eyes peeled for flashing headlights from cars behind you, which are used to warn you that they are about to pass you.
- Like in many other capital cities today, rush hour can cause major congestion in Sarajevo. Sarajevo’s rush hour typically goes from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. during the work week, while the afternoon rush hour goes from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Both the M5 and the M18 can become severely bogged down with rush hour traffic during peak hours and, if possible, should be avoided by drivers.
- Book your rental car in Sarajevo at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Sarajevo are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Sarajevo
What type of car is recommended for driving in Sarajevo?
Hatchbacks and sedans are by far the most popular vehicles in Sarajevo, so if fitting in is the goal then those are the two best options. They are likely the most popular because they are best suited to the streets of the city. Sarajevo generally has medium-sized roads that, while not exactly small, are not quite suited for the largest vehicles. This is particularly the case when it comes to streetside parking, as large parking spots may be hard to find in popular areas.
What’s the speed limit in Sarajevo?
Speed limits in Sarajevo begin at 37 mph in built-up areas and then go up to 50 mph outside of them. Expressways typically have speed limits of 62 mph, while motorways feature the highest speed limits at 81 mph.
Where are the best places to park in Sarajevo?
If you plan on visiting the downtown area and the central business district, parking garages and lots are going to be your go-to parking option. Outside of those areas, though, on-street parking will be more than sufficient. Streetside parking is also available downtown, but during peak hours open spaces can be slightly more difficult to find, so it may be worth sticking to a sure bet in a parking garage.
What is the most popular car hire in Sarajevo?
Economy (Volkswagen Polo or similar) is the most frequently booked car hire type in Sarajevo.

Pros:
The Avis agents was nice, the car was ready for my arrival..Cons:
I don’t like is when you pay insurance from kayak. Avis agent try to sell another more insurance because Kayak insurance is not good enough. Don’t cover much, so your stuck adding another insurance increasing your daily rental... Insurance should be more clear for car rentals... Next time I stayaway Kayak insurance..:2.0 Poor

Pros:
Well the car was in decent shape. ICons:
Custumer service was horrible. They put a hold of 1500 dollars on my card, very angry and hard to work with. The guy at the counter said as soon as I give him my card info he can charge me whatever I was in shock. The car had so many scratches and all kinds of Marks and it was super dirty outside. I was afraid once I wash it outside I will find more scratches thathe were not noted on the sheet so I will be responsible for paying for somebody's else's damage. Overall not very satisfied with Avis. Next time I will definitely go with diferent rental.387 Rent A Car
