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.
