Road trip ideas

Road trips from Dubrovnik

1 The Dalmatian coast to Split and Zadar 6 to 8 days about 350 km
  1. Dubrovnik
  2. Ston
  3. Makarska
  4. Split
  5. Trogir
  6. Krka
  7. Zadar

Heading north, the Pelješac peninsula and the salt pans of Ston are now reached via the Pelješac Bridge, without crossing Bosnia. The Makarska Riviera comes before Split and Diocletian's Palace, followed by Trogir, Krka National Park and Zadar. An ideal one-way route, as Split and Zadar are also departure cities of our partners.

Distance
about 350 km
Recommended vehicle
Low-profile motorhome or camper van
2 The Bay of Kotor in Montenegro 4 to 5 days about 300 km
  1. Dubrovnik
  2. Cavtat
  3. Herceg Novi
  4. Perast
  5. Kotor
  6. Lovćen
  7. Budva
  8. Dubrovnik

To the south, Cavtat and then the border lead to Herceg Novi and the Bay of Kotor, often compared to a fjord. Perast, Kotor and its walls, then the winding Lovćen road offer breathtaking views before Budva and the Montenegrin coast. Before leaving, check that the vehicle's insurance covers Montenegro.

Distance
about 300 km

Campervan or camper van
3 Mostar and Herzegovina 3 to 4 days about 350 km
  1. Dubrovnik
  2. Neretva
  3. Mostar
  4. Blagaj
  5. Kravica
  6. Dubrovnik

Through the Neretva valley, you reach Mostar and its Old Bridge, the symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The dervish monastery of Blagaj, the Kravica waterfalls and the Neretva delta complete a short but rich loop, between Ottoman heritage and karst landscapes. The insurance must cover Bosnia and Herzegovina: ask the rental company.

Weather and seasons

When to go in Dubrovnik?

Best time

May, June, September and October

May to June, September to October
highs 21 to 27 °C, lows 13 to 19 °C

The best months to leave from Dubrovnik: the sea is already or still pleasant, towns are less crowded and campsites have space. September is especially popular, with warm water and smoother coastal roads than in high summer.

High season

July and August

July to August
highs 30 °C, lows 21 °C

Peak season: heat, crowds in the old town and full campsites along the Dalmatian coast. Book your vehicle, pitches and ferry crossings to the islands well in advance, and visit Dubrovnik early in the morning or late in the day.

Winter

November to April

November to April
highs 11 to 18 °C, lows 4 to 10 °C

Winter is mild on the coast but rainy, and the bora, a violent north-easterly wind, can close some bridges and exposed roads. Many campsites close: check opening dates and favour the towns, which are quiet and authentic out of season.

Practical tips

Everything to know before hitting the road

Pick-up at Čilipi airport

Indie Campers meets you at Dubrovnik Airport, in Čilipi, south of the city and on the road to Montenegro. The other companies are in Dubrovnik: check the exact address in your booking confirmation.

Visiting the old town without the vehicle

The old town is pedestrianised and nearby car parks are scarce and expensive. Stay at a campsite on the outskirts, in Lapad or Kupari, and reach the walls by bus, with very frequent services in season.

Insurance outside the European Union

Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina are not part of the European Union. Before crossing the border, check that your rental is allowed there and that the Green Card insurance certificate covers these countries.

Ferries to the islands

Mljet, Korčula and Lastovo can be reached by ferry with the vehicle. In summer, book your crossings in advance and check that your motorhome's size is accepted: some fast lines only take foot passengers.

What travellers ask

Your questions about a road trip in Dubrovnik

Where can I pick up a campervan in Dubrovnik?

Five partner companies welcome you: Indie Campers at Dubrovnik Airport, in Čilipi, plus Anywhere Campers, Blurent, Petroni and Touring Cars in Dubrovnik. The exact address and meeting time are shown in your booking confirmation. Allow time for the vehicle handover.

Can I do a one-way trip from Dubrovnik to Split?

Yes, it is one of the most convenient one-way trips in Croatia, and several companies have depots in both cities. A one-way fee may apply: it is included in the displayed price as soon as you enter Split or Zadar as your return city.

Which vehicle should I choose for the Croatian coast?

The coast road is wide but very busy in summer, and the old villages have narrow lanes. A camper van or low-profile motorhome offers the best compromise; a campervan is ideal for the islands and small seaside campsites.

How many days should I plan from Dubrovnik?

Allow four to five days for Montenegro, a week to drive up the coast to Split or Zadar, and ten to fourteen days to add the islands, Bosnia or northern Croatia. The stages are short, but there is plenty to visit.

a lot of information, it's precise, but maybe too many different emails. I've received too many different ones that I am getting lost.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Dubrovnik

What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Croatia?

A European category B licence is enough for motorhomes, campervans and converted vans under 3.5 tonnes. With a non-European licence, an international driving permit may be required. Each rental company also sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years of driving, shown in the offer conditions.

Is wild camping allowed in Croatia?

No, wild camping and overnight parking outside designated places are banned and checked, especially on the coast. Campsites are plentiful and often right by the sea; book them in summer, when they quickly fill up.

Are Croatian motorways tolled?

Yes, the motorway linking southern Dalmatia to Split, Zadar and Zagreb is tolled, with rates depending on the vehicle category. The coast road, free and superb, is slower but far more enjoyable for short stages.

Can I return the motorhome in another Croatian city?

Some companies offer returns to Split, Zadar, Zagreb or other depots in the country, with a one-way fee. Enter your return city when searching: only compatible offers are shown, with the fees included in the price.

Does Croatia use the euro?

Yes, Croatia uses the euro and is part of the Schengen Area. Montenegro also uses the euro, but Bosnia and Herzegovina has its own currency, the convertible mark; bank cards are accepted at most petrol stations and campsites.

When should I book for summer in Croatia?

Several months ahead for July and August, when the Dalmatian coast is one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe. In May, June, September and October, the choice remains wide a few weeks before departure and conditions are ideal.

About us

Why start a motorhome trip from Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a unique starting point: in the south of Croatia, it opens up the Dalmatian coast, its islands and two neighbouring countries, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In one week you can combine city walls, coves, the Kotor fjord and the Old Bridge of Mostar, without ever driving long stages.

The five partner companies offer campervans, converted vans and motorhomes, with a depot right at Čilipi airport. Split, Zadar and Zagreb, other departure cities of our partners, make it possible to travel up the whole country one way. Just book early for summer, check the insurance for countries outside the European Union and enjoy the Adriatic at a motorhome's pace, from one cove to the next.
