    Can anyone recommend a car hire firm in Croatia?

    I'm flying into Dubrovnik and need a car to travel to Split and back, looking for a company that's reasonably priced, decent spec new cars not some banger with dodgy breaks which I've got in the in other tourist hotspots.. Wud like to get back in one piece.. :D

    Lots on the web but looking for personal recommendations..

    Thanks.

    You probably wont need a car if you're in the main resorts...and certainly not in Dubrovnik.

    But if you want to travel around a bit, it's quite cheap to rent in Croatia....but be careful about the hidden extras!!!!

    If you want to make sure you don't get hit with hidden extra charges, then I would recommend www.resortautos.com or www.mmccars.com.

    There are so many extras that can be added to you car rental bill, even more annoying is the fact that often you don't fin out about these until AFTER you arrived back home!!

    Best to do your homework BEFORE you book.

    Main things to look out for are...

    INSURANCE...make sure all your insurances are included (CDW is most important. Furthermore, make sure that you are not liable for any "Excess Chages" for any claims. You shuld look for a "Zero Excess" rate, which means that you wont have any liability.

    TAXES/FEES.....make sure ALL local taxes and airport fees are included.

    ONE-WAY DROP-OFF FEES......if you intend picking up form one location and dropping back to another, chck if there is a fee for this.

    FUEL POLICY.....Most companies now operate a "Pick-up Full and Drop back Empty" policy, meaning to have to pay for a full tank of petrol when yo upick up the car, and drop it back as empty as possible. This isn't such a major problem if you ar renting the car for a week or longer, but for shorter retnals you should try to get a "Pick up Full & Drop Back Full" fuel policy, meaning you only have to replace any fuel you've actualy used.

    Having rented for many years in Spain/Portugal and U.S.A. the best companies I've founds are www.resortautos.com or www.mmccars.com
