Can I rent an SUV for a cross-border trip?

Yes, you can book SUVs and large vehicles for cross-border rentals to Hungary. Travellers often choose an SUV for added comfort and driving preference on certain terrains, not to cross the Hungarian border. However, their availability may be limited, as suppliers in Croatia allot fewer vehicles for cross-border routes to meet demand for inter-city bookings. Options become even scarcer from July to August.

Can someone under 25 rent a car for a cross-border trip to Hungary?

Yes, but a young driver surcharge usually applies. Both the surcharge and any vehicle restrictions vary by rental company, so check when you book. Drivers under the required minimum age may sometimes be allowed to book from smaller vehicle categories.
