Choose the right car. When selecting a car, it’s crucial to choose one that meets your specific needs and budget. Consider factors such as size, fuel efficiency, and any additional features like GPS or child seats to find the perfect fit.

Check the rental agreement. Before finalizing your rental agreement, carefully review the terms and conditions to avoid any surprises later on. Pay attention to details like insurance coverage, mileage limits, and potential fees for late returns or additional drivers.

Inspect the car before you drive away. Before driving away with the rental car, take the time to inspect it thoroughly for any pre-existing damage. Document any scratches, dents, or other issues with photographs to avoid being held responsible for them upon return.

Return the car on time. Be sure to return the car on time to avoid incurring extra charges. Late returns can result in additional fees, so plan accordingly and make sure to return the car by the agreed-upon due date.

Getting around Pula can be tricky during peak tourist season, so public transportation and walking are recommended. Rent a car with GPS if you wish to drive to make navigation easier, but be aware of the speed limit which is 30 km/h (18 mph) within city limits, 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential areas, and 130 km/h (80 mph) on highways, as well as other road signs and traffic signals. Also, be mindful of the busy and narrow streets in the Old Town – pedestrians may be crossing frequently. Additionally, some streets have limited access only for cars and designated parking areas that require a fee. When driving in Pula, always follow Croatia’s legal guidelines, including speed limits. Note that many streets may be one-way, double-check before going in the wrong direction.

Paid parking is the most secure option in Pula. There are few covered spots, though the open ones are usually safe. White lines and a ‘P’ sign identify parking spaces. Fees are applicable and an SMS might arrive when the ticket expires. Though free street parking does exist in residential areas and is something to keep in mind, tickets may still be issued and cars tolled if you miss the sign. A great choice for visiting attractions without guessing how long you’ll need to stay in a parking lot with a barrier that requires you to get a ticket upon entry and then pay according to duration before exiting, using either an employee or machine. Lastly, it may get crowded due to an influx of tourists during summertime, try to secure parking ahead if possible.
