Driving Tips for Croatia
To help you make the best of it all, here are a few tips for when you're booking car rental in Croatia:

- Budget for toll fares: There are tolls on several major roads in Croatia, particularly if you're heading out from Zagreb to the western coast via the E71. You can also expect tolls at tunnel entrances on mountain roads.
- Speed limits: Speed limits are posted in kilometres. Typically, you can drive at up to 130 km/h (80 mph) on motorways, 80 km/h (50 mph) on non-urban roads and 50 km/h (30 mph) in urban areas.
- Give way to public transport: When you arrive at a roundabout, remember that you must give way to any type of public transport vehicle.
