Compare campervan rentals all around the world
Easy to use with no booking fees.
Road Genius compares campervan and motorhome rentals across Croatia so you can pick the right vehicle and supplier. Main pick-up hubs include Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik and Pula, all connected by the A1 motorway and coastal highway D8. Croatia offers clear Adriatic beaches, national parks like Plitvice and historic cities. Ferries allow you to do one-way trips through islands, but book these early in summer.
| Season | Avg High °F / °C | Good time? |
|---|---|---|
| Spring (Apr–May) | 64 / 18 | Yes—mild weather, open camps, fewer crowds |
| Summer (Jun–Aug) | 84 / 29 | Only if you can handle heat and full camps |
| Autumn (Sep–Oct) | 68 / 20 | Yes—warm sea, harvest festivals, less traffic |
| Winter (Nov–Mar) | 46 / 8 | Coastal sites stay open, but mountains get snow |
The motorway speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph); campervans over 3.5 tonnes are limited to 100 km/h (62 mph).
Croatia uses a ticket toll system—take a ticket when you enter the motorway, then pay with cash or card at the exit booth.
Headlights must stay on 24 hours a day from the last Sunday in October to the last Sunday in March.
Strong Bora wind can close parts of the A1 and D8 near the coast—check road alerts before driving over high bridges.
Keep at least one reflective vest per person inside the vehicle, plus a warning triangle and spare bulb kit—police may check these items.
Park only in marked spaces. Overnight parking outside official campsites is illegal and fines can reach €1,300.
