Are there toll roads on routes from Rijeka?
Yes. There are several toll roads from Rijeka, and the collection method for those varies between Croatian motorways (ticket-based) and the UÄŤka Tunnel (point toll). There is no sticker or pass to buy before your trip. All tolls are collected at physical gates, payable in cash, by card, or via the ENC electronic transponder.
| Route | Toll Type | Approx. One-Way Cost (Cat. I car) | Notes |
| A6 / ARZ: Rijeka → Zagreb | Ticket system | ~€6–10 | Operated by ARZ (Autocesta Rijeka-Zagreb); scenic mountain section |
| Učka Tunnel (to Istria) | Point toll | ~€5–7 | Single toll booth at the tunnel entrance on the Rijeka side; no ticket to keep |
| A1 (from Bosiljevo interchange south to Split) | Ticket system | ~€10–12 (Bosiljevo–Split) | Connects via A6 from Rijeka; full Zagreb–Split ~€15–17 |
| Krk Bridge | n/a – toll-free | Free since 2020 | No toll in either direction; used for Rijeka Airport and Krk island access |
⚠️ Vehicles over 1.9 m in height (including a roof box or roof tent) are classified as category II on toll booths in Croatia. The rate for such a vehicle can be almost double that of a standard passenger car. So, remove roof carriers if possible before entering the motorway network.

Are cross-border car rentals available from Rijeka Train Station?
Plenty of suppliers in Rijeka offer cross-border car hire deals, but you must obtain their authorisation in advance. Such deals are not automatically included and require a cross-border fee and additional insurance or a Green card, depending on your destination. Since Rijeka is located in the northwest corner of Croatia, travellers can easily make day trips to Slovenia and Italy.
| Country | Typically Permitted? | Additional Fee | Notes |
| Slovenia | Yes (EU) | €0–50 depending on supplier | Vignette required for Slovenian motorways; no passport check (Schengen); ~30–40 min from Rijeka to border at Rupa |
| Italy | Yes (EU / Schengen) | €0–50 depending on supplier | Confirm vehicle is authorised for Italy; Trieste ~1h from Rijeka via coastal road or A10 (Slovenia) |
| Austria | Yes (EU / Schengen) | €0–50 depending on supplier | Vignette required for Austrian motorways; routed via Slovenia; ~3h from Rijeka to Graz |
| Bosnia & Herzegovina | Yes (most suppliers) | ~€50 | Green Card required; confirm SCDW covers non-EU territory; Sarajevo ~5h from Rijeka via A1 south |
| Montenegro | Yes (most suppliers) | ~€50 | Green Card required; long drive from Rijeka (~7h+); better treated as an overnight destination |
| Albania / Kosovo / N. Macedonia | Select suppliers only | ~€50+ and SCDW mandatory | Confirm explicitly at booking – not all suppliers permit these destinations |
🚫 Driving a hired car across the border without the supplier’s written approval negates your insurance and incurs hefty penalties. This further leaves you fully responsible for all costs related to vehicle damage and third-party claims. Any additional drivers must also be listed on the rental agreement for the insurance to remain valid and effective.
