Which is the nearest airport to Čakovec?
Čakovec has no airport of its own, so travellers usually fly into Zagreb Airport (ZAG), the main international commercial air facility. Since many companies operate from counters within the airport, you can pick up a car hire at ZAG and drive straight to Čakovec.
| Airport | Country | Driving distance/time | Flight options |
| Zagreb (Franjo Tuđman, ZAG) | Croatia | ~100 km / ~1h10–1h15 | Croatia’s main international hub, by far the widest scheduled network |
| Maribor (Edvard Rusjan, MBX) | Slovenia | ~70 km / ~55 min | Very limited – mostly charter and flight-training traffic, few scheduled routes |
| Graz (GRZ) | Austria | ~150 km / ~1h45–2h | Useful alternative for travellers connecting through Austria or southern Germany |
ℹ️ If flying into Maribor or Graz, confirm your chosen rental company has a counter there before booking. You may not find the same suppliers and as many as you would in Zagreb. Ensure that cross-border travel is permitted by your supplier and that the insurance remains valid once you enter Croatia.

Can I pick up a rental car in Čakovec and return it at Zagreb Airport?
Yes, you can book one-way car rentals with most suppliers to collect a car in Čakovec and return it at Zagreb Airport. A one-way or drop-off fee is charged in addition to the standard rental cost because the company needs to reposition the vehicle. You can view relevant one-way deals by running a car search using our booking form.
⚠️ Some specific car categories may not be available for one-way drop-offs to certain locations. You should arrange and confirm that before making a reservation.
🚗
Are luxury car rentals available in Čakovec?
Luxury or premium vehicle segments can be booked, but their availability may be limited due to high demand for economy and compact cars. When browsing through deals, you can use the applicable filter to view available car hire options in the luxury category.
ℹ️ Picking up at Zagreb Airport and driving up to Čakovec is often more reliable than booking a luxury vehicle locally. Airports usually have the widest selection of vehicles across all categories.
