How much is the cross-border fee?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Both Hungary and Croatia are Schengen Area members (meaning you may not necessarily encounter standard passport control checkpoints at the border). But most car rental companies still charge a cross-border fee of about \u20ac40 to \u20ac90 for this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc Note<\/strong>:<\/em> The cross-border fee is a separate charge on top of the standard rental cost. You can find the exact amount in the supplier terms and policies when searching for deals.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Is there a mileage limit on car rental from Croatia to Hungary?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Most standard deals for cross-border travel to Hungary include unlimited mileage, but some may have a per-day or per-rental mileage cap. The exact mileage limit can vary by vehicle category and supplier policies, and driving beyond the permitted distance can incur an extra fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f Important:<\/strong><\/em> Always confirm the mileage policy in the rental terms of your preferred deal when booking with us. This is especially true if you are planning a round trip to Hungary and back, which easily adds up to several hundred kilometres a day.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How much is the security deposit?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Around \u20ac300 to \u20ac800 is usually held on the main driver\u2019s credit card for standard rentals. The deposit is temporarily blocked at the time of car collection and is released after the car is returned undamaged and with no fines. A few select suppliers may accept debit card deposits, but with a higher deposit amount and additional insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUV \/ Larger vehicles<\/td>Higher end of the scale<\/td><\/tr>
Premium \/ Luxury<\/td>Highest<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc Note<\/strong>:<\/em> The deposit is typically released within 7-21 days after the car\u2019s return, but the timeline depends as much on your car issuer as on your supplier.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
