Tips for car rental

Compare prices on Visitteo. Find the best car rental deal among multiple agencies on Visitteo. With a wide range of offers at various destinations and airports, it’s easy to find the best fit for your budget. Save time and money by searching with us. Compare all major brands at once and find the cheapest price. We have one of the largest car rental offers in Rijeka.

Fuel policy. When opting for a car rental in Rijeka, the ‘full-to-full’ fuel policy is advisable. This means that you will need to fill up the car upon returning it and save money on fuel when compared to the cost at your car rental agency. The ‘full-to-empty’ option is a lucrative scam to watch out for as they charge you an upfront fee and require that you return the car empty.

Book in advance. Book early to secure the best deals on car rentals. There are a host of advantages when you book ahead of time, including the chance to lock in a lower rate, the possibility of getting your desired make and model along with any additional features you may want, and the likelihood that more cars will be accessible at the lower price due to reduced demand.

Bring your GPS.  It’s much cheaper than renting a GPS from a car rental agency, plus you can easily turn your phone into a route-planning device. Google Maps may be the best choice. It comes with pre-loaded maps, route planning, and voice navigation – so don’t worry about extra costs when keeping track of where you’re going!

Buy car insurance. Ensure that your insurance policy covers all aspects of your rental car. Theft, expensive damages, and additional benefits such as lost keys, headlight repairs, flat tires, and more can be included in the protection. Rental car insurance will safeguard you from financial responsibility should an accident or damage to the rental car occurs.

Traffic in Rijeka

Exploring Rijeka via car is a good way to get around and see the surrounding area. However, drivers should take note of the heavy traffic in the morning and afternoon, from 7:30 – 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. – so it is wise to avoid driving in the center of town. Fortunately, an extensive network of highways provides easy access to more remote locations, while drivers can drive through most jammed areas with relative ease in Rijeka. In addition, there is a wide range of public transport such as buses and taxis readily available in this city as well as bicycle rental services allowing cyclists to experience Rijeka’s sights. Furthermore, multiple speed limits are present – 30 km/h (18 mph) within city limits, 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential areas, and 130 km/h (80 mph) on highways.

Parking in Rijeka

Many parking options are available. You can find on-street spots that might have time restrictions and require payment, public parking lots in the center that can be paid via SMS or ticket machines, and underground facilities around the central hub of the city, open 24/7 for extended stays. Be sure to look out for areas impeding vehicular access to residents only. Keep in mind that residents may have their own reserved spots too. To avoid any problems, always park in designated areas and pay any applicable fees – otherwise, you could find yourself faced with fines or even your car being towed away. Free street parking – this exists, believe it or not, but generally only in residential areas. If you’re close to the center or in the center of a town, it certainly does not exist.
