Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Croatia

Croatia — a country worth exploring

Croatia's Adriatic coastline stretches over 1,770 kilometres, dotted with more than 1,200 islands, making it one of Europe's most rewarding destinations for a road trip on four wheels. Start in the capital Zagreb and head south towards Split, a journey of around 410 km that takes you through rolling hills and past the Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its 16 terraced lakes connected by waterfalls. From Split, the coastal road to Dubrovnik covers roughly 230 km, hugging cliffsides with views across the Adriatic Sea. Along the way, stop at the medieval walled town of Trogir, the oyster beds of Ston, and the lush Pelješac Peninsula, where local vineyards produce some of the country's finest red wines. Inland, the Istrian Peninsula offers truffle-rich forests, hilltop villages like Motovun, and Roman ruins in Pula, including a remarkably preserved amphitheatre. Croatia's roads are generally well-maintained, though some coastal stretches are narrow and winding — ideal for a campervan rather than a larger vehicle. Motorhome travellers will find plenty of spacious campsites near major towns. With Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners across Croatia, choosing from a wide range of vehicles to match your route and group size. This peer-to-peer approach often means more flexible pick-up points and competitive pricing, so you can spend more time exploring and less time planning logistics.

Best time to visit

May to October is the prime window for a campervan trip in Croatia, with long daylight hours and warm seas ideal for swimming. The Dubrovnik Summer Festival runs from mid-July to late August, filling the old town with open-air theatre and music. In September, Istria hosts the Subotina truffle festival near Buzet, celebrating the region's white truffle season. Spring and early autumn offer quieter roads and milder temperatures, perfect for exploring national parks. Summer is the most popular season, so booking your motorhome on Yescapa early gives you the widest choice of vehicles from local owners at fair peer-to-peer rates.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Croatia

Croatia's motorway network connects Zagreb to the coast efficiently, with the A1 running south to Split and the A6 heading west to Rijeka. Tolls apply on most motorways and can be paid in cash or by card at toll booths. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes fall into a higher toll category, so keep your vehicle weight in mind. The speed limit on motorways is 130 km/h for cars but 90 km/h for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. Coastal roads like the D8 Adriatic Highway are toll-free but narrower, with frequent bends and limited overtaking opportunities — allow extra time if driving a larger vehicle.

O José Tiago viajou para Espanha com a mulher e o filho de cinco anos. Tinham pouco tempo, mas aproveitaram a viagem ao máximo. Devolveram a autocaravana em excelente estado, exatamente como combinado. O José compreendeu tudo à primeira explicação e foi muito fácil comunicar com ele. Recomendo este hóspede sem qualquer dúvida. Espero voltar a recebê-los numa próxima viagem!

Romain is very responsive an friendly. He replied quickly with all needed information and tips. Camper is comfortable, well equipped and well maintained, despite its age. Everything was good and as advertised. I highly recommend him and his camper :)

Nini (that’s how the owners called their beloved Mercedes van) was the perfect compagnon for the roadtrip my partner and I had in mind. Feeling like our temporary little home on wheels, it was easy to get to the most scenic spots around Lisbon and Setubal and also more inwards in Portugal. Everything in the van was almost brand new and worked perfectly fine. The bed was comfortable, enough practical storage room and the fan system they have installed kept us cool during a 40degrees summer in Portugal. We didn’t even have to switch on the airco at night. We cooked delicious meals everyday with the kitchenette in the van (they even added an oven) and could shower inside (cold and hot if needed), do dishes and take off in a second to the next stop. Whenever we had a question, Raquel was immediately there for us. All other camping necessities, such as chairs, table, sun umbrella were also provided. It was the first time for me going on a roadtrip with a van and I couldn’t be happier it was with Nini to still give me that comfort and cosiness I needed in the circumstances.

Dani is a fantastic owner and an even better human being. Extremely attentive, kind and knowledgable about the area. If you are looking for a retro van and a home away from home, Dani and his vintage VW are perfect for you :)

It was a real pleasure these guys! They were very friendly, easy to communicate with, and punctual both for the pickup and the return of the van. They brought the van back exceptionally clean and in excellent condition. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. They were so respectful, discreet, and self-sufficient that I almost forgot the van was even rented! I would happily recommend them to any host and would be delighted to welcome them back anytime. 😊
