Is a credit card required to book an automatic rental car in Croatia?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Yes. A credit card (not a debit card) is the standard payment method used by suppliers to hold the security deposit, regardless of the transmission type. The card must usually be in the main driver’s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Check whether your travel companion can be registered as the main driver and use their card to book if you don\u2019t have a personal credit card. You can be added as an additional driver in that situation.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can I rent an automatic car without a security deposit?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

No. A security deposit of about \u20ac1,000\u20131,200 is required by nearly all suppliers. The requirement is applicable to both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. As long as the car is returned undamaged and with no traffic fines, the deposit is released in full within 7-21 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f Make sure your credit card has sufficient available credit to cover both the deposit and your trip expenses.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
