Hiring a Car in Italy and Driving to Croatia, Croatia

Displayed:   times.

The car hire companies you mention all allow entry into Slovenia and Croatia if asked for. It must, however, be marked on the hire documents, or the car may be refused entry at the border. If you succeed in getting across without the appropriate authorisation, your insurance may well be non-existent!

Trieste airport car hire companies (including, by the way, add to your list Europcar) know all about the permission needed, but you can still hire a car from Venice or Treviso from these companies. If they claim not to know about trans-border permission, get them to ring their Trieste office, who will put them in the picture. If all else fails, simply call at Trieste airport on your way down the motorway towards Croatia, and get them to give you the necessary stamp. It's only a slight diversion off the road.

For those of us on the south coast of England for whom Stansted is difficult, the Gatwick flights with Volare to Venice make a big difference to journey time. I can do Brighton to Umag in 6 hours door to door. More on www.visit-croatia.co.uk
