Pula car hires from £13/day

Roads are well-maintained in most parts, so a 4-wheel-drive car is not really necessary. Opt for a compact car instead, if possible, so driving through the city becomes easier and finding parking centrally or at the beaches is less of a hassle as well. Remember that stick shifts are still the most commonly used cars in Croatia, so if you prefer an automatic transmission it is advised to book in advance and prepare to pay a bit more.

Within city limits, the maximum speed limit is usually 50 km/h (31 mph), 30 km/h (18 mph) in pedestrianized areas. 100 km/h (62 mph) can be driven on rural roads and up to 130 km/h (80 mph) on freeways. It is important to always follow posted speed limit signs and street markings when driving.
