Petroni d.o.o.Ul. Slavka Tomerlina 8-10, 10360 Sesvete
The rental company
Petroni, a Croatian motorhome specialist
Petroni is a Croatian family business headquartered in Sesvete, east of Zagreb. Its vehicles leave from seven cities: the capital, Pula at the tip of Istria, Rijeka and the island of Krk in the Kvarner Gulf, then Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik along Dalmatia.
The fleet mixes compact vans, such as the BudgetVan 55 or the Knaus Boxdrive, Knaus, Rimor and Mc Louis low-profile models, and above all many overcabs from the Italian brands Rimor and Roller Team, some of which sleep seven. Petroni also rents vehicles that are rare on this market: a Petrovan 53 van in a 4x4 version and two pick-ups fitted with a camper body, a Ford Ranger 4x4 and a Mitsubishi L200 Tischer.
All the offers recorded by CoolDrive have limited mileage. The excess depends on the model: €1,500 for the BudgetVan 55, €2,500 for the Petrovan 53 4x4 and up to €3,500 for the Horon 79M overcab or the Mc Louis MC4 873 low-profile.
Our verdict: a local rental company well established on the coast, which stands out for its off-road vehicles and large family overcabs. Points to watch: the mileage allowance on a long tour, high excesses on the large models and only two automatic gearboxes in the range.

Our view
Petroni: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Petroni is ideal if…
- You want a 4x4 pick-up or van for the tracks of the hinterland
- You are travelling as six or seven and want a large overcab
- You want to start your trip in the south, in Split or Dubrovnik
- You are planning a stay focused on Istria or the Kvarner islands
- You prefer a local rental company that knows the country well
Petroni is not ideal if…
- You plan to cover a lot of kilometres without watching the odometer
- You only drive automatics and want a large model
- You cannot have an excess of several thousand euros blocked
- You want to combine Croatia with another country where Petroni has a depot
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with Petroni
-
Work out your distance before choosing
Mileage is limited in all the Petroni offers recorded. Estimate the total route, for example Zagreb, the Plitvice Lakes, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik and then the return, and compare it with the allowance stated in the offer. A departure closer to the area you want to visit reduces empty kilometres.
-
Book ferries in summer
To reach Hvar, Brač, Korčula or Cres, you need to take a ferry, often operated by Jadrolinija. In July and August, queues for vehicles are long: book your crossings in advance and check that the fare takes the length of the motorhome into account.
-
Sleep at a campsite or an authorised aire
Wild camping is prohibited in Croatia and fines can be steep. Fortunately, the coast has many campsites, from simple family-run sites to large seaside complexes. In high season, book the most popular stops, especially in Istria and around Split.
-
Take the Pelješac bridge to Dubrovnik
Since 2022, the Pelješac bridge has linked Split and Dubrovnik without crossing the short stretch of Bosnia and Herzegovina at Neum. With a hire vehicle, this is the simplest solution if the rental terms do not allow you to leave Croatian territory.
-
Check the excess of the chosen model
At Petroni, the observed excess ranges from €1,500 for the BudgetVan 55 to €3,500 for the largest models. Make sure your credit card can cover the amount required at departure, and ask our experts about cover that limits this risk.
What travellers ask
Your questions about Petroni
How much does a Petroni hire cost in Croatia?
Our prices recorded in October 2026, for a two-week hire with mandatory fees included, put the cheapest van at €102 per day in January. In July, the median price approaches €218 for a van, €307 for a low-profile and €292 for a large overcab. The gap between seasons remains moderate. Add any kilometres beyond the allowance to your budget.
Is mileage unlimited with Petroni?
No. In all the Petroni offers recorded by CoolDrive, mileage is limited: an allowance is included and extra kilometres are charged. The details are shown in each offer. For a two-week tour between Istria and Dubrovnik, do the maths before booking; Anywhere Campers, for its part, offers unlimited mileage in our records.
Does Petroni rent 4x4 vehicles?
Yes, it is one of its particularities. The Petrovan 53 4x4 van takes two people, as do the two pick-ups with a living cabin: the Ford Ranger 4x4 and the Mitsubishi L200 Tischer T705. They suit the mountain roads of Velebit or Lika. Check in the terms which tracks are permitted.
Which Petroni motorhome should a large family choose?
For six people, the Rimor Kilig 50, Rimor Evo Sound or Horon 79M overcabs offer six seats and six berths. For seven, look at the Rimor Katamarano and the Roller Team Kronos 277M. Their size calls for a little care on the narrow roads of coastal villages and in the lanes of the islands.
Where should you start to visit Croatia with Petroni?
Zagreb is a good fit if you arrive from inland or want to start with the Plitvice Lakes. Pula and Rijeka open up Istria and Kvarner, and Krk is already on an island. For Dalmatia, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik save several hundred kilometres of approach, a real advantage with limited mileage.

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 — Petroni motorhome hire in Croatia
Why book Petroni with CoolDrive?
On CoolDrive, Petroni offers are shown alongside those of the other rental companies active in Croatia, and every price includes mandatory fees. The mileage allowance and excess of each model are displayed before payment. Our experts support you from choosing the depot to returning the vehicle.
What excess should you expect with Petroni?
It depends on the vehicle. In our October 2026 records, it is €1,500 for the BudgetVan 55, €2,500 for the Petrovan 53 4x4, €3,000 for the Rimor Kilig 50 and Evo Sound, and €3,500 for the Horon 79M and the Mc Louis MC4 873. The exact amount appears in each offer.
Where do you pick up the Petroni motorhome?
The main depot is in Sesvete, at 8-10 Ul. Slavka Tomerlina, in the Zagreb urban area. For Pula, Rijeka, Krk, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik, the exact meeting address is given in the details of the offer and on your confirmation: check it before booking your transport from the airport or station.
Can you go to Slovenia, Bosnia or Montenegro?
The countries where the vehicle may be driven are listed in the rental terms of each offer. Check them before planning an excursion to Mostar, the Bay of Kotor or Lake Bled, as insurance rules vary outside the European Union. If in doubt, our experts can ask the rental company for you.
Are Petroni motorhomes automatic?
Very few. Of the 23 models presented, only two have an automatic gearbox: the CaraTour Ford 600MQ van and the Mc Louis MC4 873 low-profile. All the others, overcabs and 4x4s included, are manual. If you insist on an automatic, book early, especially for July and August.
Where can you sleep in a motorhome in Croatia?
Wild camping is prohibited throughout the country, including in beach car parks. Plan your nights at campsites or on aires designed for motorhomes. There is plenty of choice in Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia, but seaside sites fill up quickly in summer: book your key stops.
