Although unlimited mileage is a common inclusion with most compact rentals, it is not standard across all suppliers in Croatia. Some deals may also come with a daily mileage cap, where travellers are subject to a per-kilometre fee for driving beyond the permitted limit.

Basic insurance is almost always included in the base rental price, but a deductible of around €1,000–1,200 may still apply (the amount you are liable to pay in case of vehicle damage or theft). Travellers often purchase extra insurance to reduce or remove that liability.
