Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent a convertible in Croatia?
EU/EEA licences are generally accepted for driving in Croatia without an IDP. Travellers from outside the EU/EEA should check whether their licence is recognised in Croatia and whether an IDP or certified translation is required. Rental companies may also have their own documentation requirements.
🌍 Recommendation: If your licence requires an IDP or certified translation, obtain it before travelling. Check the requirements for your country of licence issue and the rental supplier before booking.
