I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times, but what would be the best car rental company for driving Croatia? I'm thinking Hertz, but I see Sixt a lot. Any recommendations? I did scroll down and couldn't see any in this thread, but I'm sorry if I'm asking something that's asked all the time.
Hey I rented several times with Oryx and Enterprise, never had any issues.
Here are some guides for car rentals and driving around Croatia.

Also this Sub has a great Megathread with plenty of city guides and itineraries. Where to go eat, what to see, do, what day trips you can do, all the links are compiled in a list so you can more easily search and find info!
Or check the CROATIA TRAVEL GUIDE directly here. The guides are all written by a local which is traveling around Croatia.
I rented with Enterprise at the Zagreb airport. Picked up and returned to same location. No issues. One thing to be aware of is the deposit required at the time of rental. I think it was $500 USD for Enterprise. Others were as much as $1500 usd. It was refunded without issue upon return, but fyi.
@answerarchive If you pay for full insurance then they can remove the deposit, this is what I usually do, the full insurance is around 20euros per day.
@croatiatraveltips Excellent. I always get the full insurance. Crazy things happen when traveling.
I have never rented a car with enterprise before. Is zero excess the same as full insurance? I do not see an option labeled full insurance. Sorry if this is a silly question
I think that zero excess was full coverage with no deposit. You can also add the full insurance at the desk and check which is the full insurance, dont know if its cheaper when paying online through enterprise.
We also used Enterprise. We rented in Dubrovnik and returned it in Zagreb. Deposit was a thing too, and promptly refunded. But the rate was great.
I rented from Avia at the Zagreb airport, they were great and gave us a free upgrade to a better vehicle
Can you drive to Bosnia or Slovenia if you rent from Zagreb airport?
I'm planning my trip for May and was looking into this and it seems like yes, you can rent a car in Croatia and drive to Slovenia. I hope anyways, we may go to the caves in Slovenia for a day. But someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes you can but the rental place might charge you an extra for exiting the countries borders but this is common thing.
Heres a driving guide from Zagreb - From Zagreb to Split drive (Best stops on the way) Guide
I rented from Sixt and had zero issues. I picked up at the Zagreb “bus station,” which was about a 10 minute walk from the actual bus station. But my train was late and I picked up after hours- they waited for me and were super helpful. I dropped off in Split and it was easy.
