Do I need to return a car rental with a full tank of fuel?

A full-to-full fuel policy is sort of a standard for most suppliers, under which you receive the car with a full tank and are required to return it full. Returning with less than a full tank results in a refuelling charge above market rate, plus an administration fee. Fill up at an INA station in or near Opatija before returning, and keep the receipt safe as proof.

Can I return a car hire after office hours in Opatija?

Out-of-hours returns are offered by many suppliers upon prior arrangement and subject to applicable charges. You are to park and lock the rental car in the designated supplier lot, and return the keys in the secure key box or kiosk. The vehicle returned after office hours is often inspected on the next business day.

Can I pick up in Opatija and drop off at a different location in Croatia?

Yes. One-way rentals from Opatija are available to most major Croatian cities. A one-way fee applies and varies by supplier and distance. Use the ‘Different Drop-off Location?’ option in the booking form to search and compare one-way totals, including the fee, before booking.
