Fuel policy. Be on the lookout for ‘full-to-empty’ policies when renting a car in  Dubrovnik as they charge you a fee and require you to return the car empty, even if it has been used for short distances. Always rent a car with a ‘full-to-full’ fuel policy.

Book in advance. To ensure you have the best deal book in advance, this allows you to lock in a lower rate and increases your chances of getting the desired model and any additional features.

Bring your GPS. Another tip is to bring your navigation system – it’s much cheaper than renting a GPS. You can use apps on your mobile phone.

Buy car insurance. Lastly, check that your insurance policy covers all aspects of hiring the car including theft, damages, or lost keys so that you are fully protected should anything happen while on the road.

Traffic in Dubrovnik can be a challenge during peak tourist season, so it’s advisable to use public transportation or walk. Traveling around Dubrovnik is best done with caution, pay attention to speed limits – 30 km/h (18 mph) within city limits, 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential areas, and 130 km/h (80 mph) on highways. And take note that many of the streets are one-way only. Furthermore, bear in mind that the Old Town gets extremely crowded during the summer months so be careful when driving or you might end up going the wrong way. Parking can also be a challenge in these conditions, keep your eyes peeled for any available spaces. It is also recommended to rent a car with GPS for easier navigation. Those who do choose to drive should be prepared for narrow, busy streets within the city center.

Parking spots are limited due to the city’s narrow streets and pedestrian zones. You can park where there are white lines and a big ‘P’ sign on the curb. You’ll have to pay for parking and can receive SMS messages when your parking is about to expire. There are several public parking lots located near the Old Town, but they can fill up quickly, especially in the high season – so it is wise to arrive early or consider other transportation options. The paid on-street parking system is also available in some areas, but visitors must read the signs carefully so as not to incur any fines. To ensure a hassle-free experience when visiting Dubrovnik, it is best to plan and allow extra time for traffic and parking.
