Travel preparation in the car to Croatia
If you've booked a trip to Croatia and are heading there by car, we'll help you get started. Check in advance which items you must carry in your car:
Hazard triangle (2 when travelling with a caravan or other trailer)
- Safety vest
- First-aid box
- Spare lamps
- Spare wheel
It is also wise to make sure you have already purchased a toll badge for Croatia in the Netherlands. Also take into account the possible tolls of the countries you drive through. You can buy a toll badge for Croatia at the ANWB.
Also make sure you have some cash in your car in case you incur unforeseen costs on the road.
Fuel in Croatia
Not all fuels are available in Croatia or they have a different name. So refuelling in Croatia might be a little different for your car than you are used to. We will help you on your way:
- Petrol: Euro 95 is called 'Eurosuper 95', 'Bez Dovni Benzin' or 'Bezolovni benzin'.
- Diesel: B7 is called 'Eurodiesel'. Note: do not tank 'plavi dizel' this is blue diesel and is not suitable for the car or motorhome.
- Gas: LPG is called 'LPG' or 'Autoplin' and has limited availability. For an overview of LPG filling stations, go to Mylpg.eu. Note that you need an LPG filling nipple (dish).
- Electricity: Croatia has a very limited number of charging stations. Check Chargemap for locations. So planning and preparation is very important here.
