Compare campervan rentals all around the world
Easy to use with no booking fees.
Road Genius compares campervan rentals from leading suppliers across Croatia and the Balkans. Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb airports are the main pick-up locations. Dubrovnik sits at the southern tip of the Adriatic so most road trips follow the scenic D8 coastal highway. When driving this route, you will pass through Bosnia and Herzegovina's Neum corridor.
