Zagreb car rental — FAQ
How do I get from Zagreb Airport to the city centre?
An airport bus links the terminal to Zagreb's main bus station in about 30 minutes, but a rental car is the most flexible option if you plan to explore Plitvice, the coast, or the wine roads.
Do I need to pay tolls on the motorway from Zagreb?
Yes — Croatia's A1, A3, and other motorways use per-kilometre tolls collected at toll booths. Take a ticket on entry and pay on exit by card or cash; many rental cars also support the ENC electronic tag. There is no vignette as in some neighbouring countries.
