Insurance & Documents

Most rentals include a basic insurance bundle as standard:

Extra insurance is optional, but purchasing a super CDW/full coverage policy can definitely help reduce your risk and deposit. You can consider additional coverage options listed on our website’s booking page for extra peace of mind.

Primary as well as all additional drivers must carry a valid driver’s licence (if the licence has multiple parts, you must present all of them), a valid original ID card/or passport, a credit card (in the main driver’s name), and a Rental Confirmation Voucher when picking up the hired vehicle in Mlini.

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required in addition to a National Driving Licence if the DL of you or any of the Additional Drivers is not clearly identifiable, e.g., it is in a non-Latin alphabet (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese).

As with most major EU countries, car hire companies in Mlini permit drivers aged 21 and above to rent a car. A young driver surcharge will be applied to drivers under 25 (typically €5 – €10 per day). Drivers under 25 renting a car will likely have limited car choices.

Drivers under 25 will likely face no trouble booking Economy, Mini, or Compact models, but Luxury vehicles, large SUVs, and high-performance cars are often off-limits to young drivers.

Generally, EU, UK, and EEA licences are valid in Croatia – no IDP required. For all other countries: an IDP is required if your licence is not in Latin script, but most rental companies and police strongly recommend having it as a supporting document. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Recommendation: Obtain your IDP before leaving your home country, as it cannot be issued in Croatia. Cost is typically €10–20 from your national motoring association.
