Before you drive

One-way rental pre-departure checklist

What to confirm before leaving the desk:

✅

One-way drop-off fee confirmed in writing

Ensure that the exact one-way drop-off fee (whether it’s per day or flat rate) is listed on your rental agreement. A verbal confirmation alone is the last thing you should rely on.

✅

Fuel policy & toll payment understood

Although most rentals in Croatia operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, it is always best to confirm it in advance. Also verify whether motorway tolls are your responsibility or if an electronic motorway toll device (ENC) will be provided.

✅

Cross-border travel confirmed (if applicable)

If your planned route involves crossing into another country, confirm in advance with your supplier that cross-border travel is permitted and that any required insurance or coverage is included.

✅

Vehicle inspection documented

Photograph every existing scratch and dent before driving away (especially the underside of bumpers) and ensure it’s recorded on the rental agreement to avoid any false damage attribution claims.

✅

Drop-off location and address confirmed

Knowing in advance the exact address and opening hours of the supplier branch in Rijeka (airport or city) where you will be returning the Split car rental is going to save time and effort.

✅

After-hours return procedure confirmed

Confirm service availability and follow the exact return instructions to avoid unexpected charges if returning the rental car in Rijeka outside the supplier’s opening hours.
