Extra insurance is optional, but purchasing a super CDW\/full coverage policy can definitely help reduce your risk and deposit.

What documents do I need to pick up a rental car in Mlini?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Primary as well as all additional drivers must carry a valid driver\u2019s 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\u2019s name), and a Rental Confirmation Voucher when picking up the hired vehicle in Mlini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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).<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can I rent a car in Mlini if I am under 25?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

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 \u20ac5 – \u20ac10 per day). Drivers under 25 renting a car will likely have limited car choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Mlini?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

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\u2019s a quick breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Licence type<\/strong><\/td>IDP required?<\/strong><\/td>Notes<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
EU\/UK \/ EEA licence<\/td>\u274c No<\/td>Accepted as standard<\/td><\/tr>
UK \/ EEA licence<\/td>\u274c No<\/td>Accepted as standard<\/td><\/tr>
Non-Latin script (Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic)<\/td>\u2705 Yes<\/td>Mandatory \u2014 licence alone not accepted<\/td><\/tr>
Any licence for Montenegro \/ Bosnia crossing<\/td>\u26a0\ufe0f Recommended<\/td>Border officials may request IDP regardless of origin<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation: Obtain your IDP before leaving your home country, as it cannot be issued in Croatia. Cost is typically \u20ac10\u201320 from your national motoring association.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
