Driving in Dubrovnik: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
Bring your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Dubrovnik.
Most visitors can use their regular licence. If it isn’t in English, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental companies also check that your ID matches your booking details.
Navigating city driving
Dubrovnik has coastal roads and narrow streets near the old town.
Driving is easy along the main coast road, but the lanes around the old town can feel tight. Navigation apps help you avoid steep streets and guide you to beaches and nearby villages.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Croatia uses toll roads on major motorways, but not in Dubrovnik.
The city has no tolls or emissions zones. Toll charges only apply when travelling further north or inland on longer highway routes.
Parking your car in Dubrovnik
Parking is busiest near the old town.
Street spaces fill quickly in summer. Public car parks outside the walls offer the most reliable access. Always check signposts for time limits and seasonal fees when leaving your car.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in Dubrovnik are growing.
Petrol stations sit along the main coastal road. Charging points are fewer, so apps like PlugShare help you find the nearest available options.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers move slowly in the centre and faster on open roads.
Coastal routes have bends and steep drops, so keep speeds low. Scooters are common in busier months, and parking near the old town can be tight.
