Base car hire rates depend on factors such as car type, season, supplier, and individual traveller preferences. You can view live quotes for your travel dates by running a car search using our booking form.

⚠️ Car rental prices are generally lowest in November. Summer season bookings must be made at least 4-6 weeks in advance to get lower rates.

You can make a reservation for off-season dates (October–April) if you want the cheapest rates, which usually start at €20–45/day. But renting a car during the shoulder season (May & September) can get you reasonable daily rates of €35–65/day, with good availability due to relatively fewer tourists. You can always book during peak travel season, but remember that the average prices can be 2-3 times higher than standard seasons. Early booking is highly advised to secure the required car.

✅ May and September usually offer the best balance between pricing, weather, and vehicle availability.

Active Car Rental, Surprise, Sixt, Sicily by Car, Alamo, and addcCar are notable suppliers known for frequently offering low-cost deals. Travellers can generally book with them at prices as low as €7–15/day. Choosing your preferred supplier is always an option, but you should always book ahead of time and compare multiple deals with different suppliers to get the lowest possible rates at Rijeka Airport, Croatia.

A credit card in the primary driver’s name is essential to block the security deposit. Suppliers often deny or cancel bookings when a valid credit card is not provided at pickup. A higher deposit amount may be held by select suppliers who accept debit cards.

⚠️ Prepaid and virtual cards are rarely accepted at rental counters.

Standard rentals usually require a security deposit of roughly €200–€2,000. The exact amount varies depending on the vehicle and insurance coverage and is only temporarily held by the supplier at pickup. Travellers can purchase an optional full-protection policy to reduce or eliminate the excess deductible. As long as the car is returned in the same condition as it was picked up and with no traffic fines, the deposit is fully refunded after the booking period.

A full-to-full policy is common among most suppliers. As per that, you are given a car with a full tank of fuel, which you must return full. A same-to-same fuel policy may be in use at times, which requires travellers to return the hired car with the same amount of fuel as at pickup. Refuelling charges are applied at higher rates if the car is not returned as per the agreed-upon fuel policy.

✅ Full-to-full is usually the most transparent and cost-effective fuel policy.

Third Party Liability insurance is a basic inclusion in most rental deals. Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Protection may also be offered as added benefits. But these may not fully cover all expenses related to vehicle damage and third-party injuries. An optional full coverage is generally purchased by travellers to avoid out-of-pocket expenses.

⚠️ Standard CDW policies often exclude tyres, wheels, glass, and underbody damage.

Cross-border driving is generally permitted from Rijeka Airport to select neighbouring countries. Sometimes, travellers are also allowed to take the hired car across European countries. However, prior approval from the supplier is necessary. Apart from a cross-border fee, additional insurance based on your destination is also required before travel.

The excess amount depends on the supplier, insurance package, driver age, and car type. You can add a Super CDW or Full Protection for an additional fee when booking to reduce or eliminate the excess liability.

ℹ️ The excess amount is separate from the refundable security deposit blocked on the main driver’s credit card at pickup.
