Zadar car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Zadar

• Croatia’s small size and generally well-maintained roads make the country a dream for road tripping tourists, and Zadar is no exception. Travelers visiting Zadar should consider renting a vehicle simply because a car offers the best way to explore the neighboring coastline. For instance, just 16 km (10 miles) from Zadar is Ninska Laguna Beach.
• The most convenient place to pick up your hire car will be at the airport. For travelers with flights landing at Zadar Airport, you can find the hire car counters located in the Arrivals Hall of the airport and just outside in an adjacent parking lot.
• Zadar’s streets can be somewhat confusing for drivers new to the city as there are many one-way roads, particularly in the Old Town. This can make navigating the city difficult at times, as many drivers are used to two-way roads. It is highly recommended that visitors have access to a GPS device or use their phones as one during their time in Zadar.
• Zadar, while not featuring the heaviest rush hour traffic, does have a minor amount of congestion during the work week. In general, drivers can expect rush hour to start up around 7:00 a.m. and to cool down around 9:00 a.m., while in the afternoon it picks up around 4:30 p.m. and finishes just around 7:00 p.m. Though most of the roads don’t have too severe of congestion during rush hour in Zadar, Jadranska Magistrala often does. So, if possible, make a point of avoiding it during the busiest times.
• Book your rental car in Zadar at least 3 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
