Which vehicle class is right for me?
Most roads in Croatia are in very good shape if you stick to the official routes, and it is a beautiful varied landscape to drive in. Roads leading to the seaside can get congested in the summertime, so if heading to the beach check out traffic information in case you need to plan an alternative route. The main routes through the heart of the country are the A1 and the A3. Different A roads come off from these major routes to Croatia's largest city destinations. The state D roads are also well maintained, we are sure you will become familiar with the D8 which runs all the way down Croatia's stunning coastline.

While Croatia is known for its beaches and rugged coastline, there is much to see and do in the winter. Its Christmas markets are charming and the one in Ban Jelacic Square in Zagreb is worth a visit. Meanwhile, the Dubrovnik Winter Festival lasts for 40 days and generally starts at the beginning of December. If you are looking for a little sun, going to the south of Croatia on the Dalmatian Coast is a good idea. It might not be warm enough for a bikini, but you can walk along the beach. There are also possibilities for skiing in the mountains north of Zagreb or at ski resorts like Platak or Velika. Those traveling to the south will enjoy a convertible or sports car to cruise the coast, while in the north an SUV is a good idea since it can snow a lot. Be sure to check the availability of winter tires and ski racks with the branch.
