Cheap car hire in Pula
KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Pula
- If you're visiting Pula from late autumn to early spring, there are two important rules you'll need to keep in mind. Between the 1st of November and the 31st of March, cars must have their headlights on and use dipped headlights during the daytime. Winter tyres or snow chains are mandatory for certain areas between the 15th of November and the 15th of April. Pula is in the warmer region of Istria, which is exempt from the winter tyres requirement, but you will need them if you plan on travelling to Lika or Gorski Kota. In this case, the easiest option will likely be to ask your Pula car hire company if they can provide you with snow chains.
- Like many other European countries, it is compulsory to carry a fluorescent vest, warning triangles and a first aid kit in your car while in Pula. Note that the fluorescent vest must be kept in the car itself, not in the boot (and you're required to wear it while changing a tyre etc). The Croatian Automobile Club is Croatia's roadside assistance, and they have operators who speak English. In addition to emergency assistance, they also provide traffic updates, information on the condition of roads and many other useful pieces of information for travellers using cheap car hire in Pula.
- Make sure you keep an eye out for cyclists, particularly when you're driving on smaller roads. The Istrian Peninsula is a very popular cycling destination, with more and more Croatians using bikes to get around. Croatia's older population, in particular, has taken to using them more often, thanks to the popularity of easy-to-use electric bicycles. This means that you may be more likely to encounter less experienced cyclists while using cheap car hire in Pula, so be ready to slow down if necessary.
- Situated on the very southern tip of Croatia, Pula invites visitors with its stunning coastline, historical sites, and the national park Brijuni, which is located on its own island. To make the most of your time in Pula and be able to explore everything from end to end, rent a car and avoid having to rely on public transport. Seize the opportunity to drive along the entire coastline of Pula and be amazed by its clear, blue waters.
- Pula Airport has various onsite car hire agencies that allow travelers to start their journey right after the plane has landed. Service desks can be found in the arrivals hall in the terminal building, which include international companies like Avis, Hertz, or Sixt. Head to the D66 when you leave the airport with the car to be in Pula’s center within 15 minutes of driving.
- Road conditions in Pula are in a good state and local drivers have a reputation to be friendly and helpful; however, they also have a reputation of driving fast, passing in a stunt-like manner, or honking if they want you to go faster or move out of their way. Don’t let the behavior of other drivers rush you and stick to the speed limits. Also bear in mind that freeways in Croatia, marked with an “A,” are toll roads and a ticket must be bought before driving on them.
- Compared to Croatia’s bigger cities like Zagreb, rush hour and traffic in Pula are not a permanent factor when driving through the city. Between 7 and 9 am and 5 and 8 pm, roads can be more congested, and the best time to whizz into and out of the city is usually between 3 and 5 pm. As the beautiful beaches are a popular tourist destination, traffic also increases during the summer months, specifically near the coastline.
- 25% of our users found a car hire in Pula for £15 or less
- Book your car hire in Pula at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport car hire locations in Pula are around 17% more expensive than airport locations on average
- Economy hire cars in Pula are around 56% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about car hire in Pula
What type of car is recommended for driving in Pula?
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.
What’s the speed limit in Pula?
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.

Apr 2019
Pros:
Could not cancel the trip when the wrong date was booked. Was forced to pay $125 for a one day rental as they would not honor the original rate. Saw many others at this location getting scammed by the front desk. I will never go to Sixt again. I ended up wasting over $250. Horrible experienceCons:
Clearly define cancelation policies. Allow for immediate cancelation or within 2 hours of dates were incorrect. Sixt was not friendly and clearly trying to get money out of every customer7.6 Good

Pros:
Nice, clean car.Cons:
They tried to sell us additional (expensive) insurance and insisted I sign a contract in Croatian (which I do not speak). I had to ask for a contract in English.10.0 Wonderful

When to book a car hire in Pula
Car hire insurance in Pula
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Pula car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Pula.
Deductible
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Pula car hire.
