Reasons to book a car rental in and around Zagreb

Renting a car in Zagreb provides the freedom and flexibility to explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace. With a rental vehicle, you can easily manage your luggage and make spontaneous travel plans without the constraints of public transport schedules. This convenience is particularly appealing for those seeking outdoor adventures and scenic experiences. You can visit key attractions such as the stunning Zagreb Cathedral and the vibrant Ban Jelacic Square, both located within the city. Additionally, the picturesque Jarun lake offers a lovely spot for relaxation and romance. A rental car also allows you to explore popular neighbourhoods like Donji Grad, where you can enjoy the lush Zrinjevac and the Botanical Garden, or Novi Zagreb, home to Bundek Lake and the Zagreb Fair Grounds. For those venturing further, Sesvete presents the chance to discover more cultural gems like the Zagreb City Museum. Overall, having a car at your disposal enhances your ability to experience the diverse offerings of Zagreb, catering to various traveller interests, from culture to outdoor activities.

Where to stay in Zagreb

  • Donji Grad: Situated in the heart of Zagreb, Donji Grad offers a vibrant atmosphere perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking scenic adventures. This neighbourhood features attractions such as the beautiful Zrinjevac urban park, ideal for family outings and outdoor holidays. The Botanical Garden provides a romantic setting, while the Mimara Museum caters to culture lovers. With nearby shopping centres and cafes, Donji Grad is an excellent base for exploring Zagreb's rich history and modern conveniences.
  • Novi Zagreb: Known for its picturesque lakes and recreational areas, Novi Zagreb is a fantastic choice for travellers looking for adventure and scenery. Bundek Lake and Jarun Lake are perfect spots for a beach-like experience and outdoor activities. The Zagreb Fair Grounds often host events and shows suitable for families. The district also features shopping centres and delightful dining options, making it a well-rounded area to stay while exploring the charm of Zagreb.
  • Sesvete: Located slightly outside of the city centre, Sesvete is a quaint village that offers an escape into nature while still being close to Zagreb's cultural attractions. Key highlights include the impressive Zagreb Cathedral and the historical Ban Jelacic Square, both within easy reach.

10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Zagreb

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or a compact car for budget-friendly options, utilise filters on Expedia to identify the best fit for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically less expensive to rent and more convenient to park in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and some vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others might provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in this case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: A surcharge is often applied for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
