Anywhere Campers PulaPulaView map
Campervan hire in Pula puts your starting point at the southern tip of Istria, at the foot of a Roman amphitheatre that is still standing. In less than an hour's drive you reach the Venetian old town of Rovinj, the basilica of Poreč or the hilltop villages of the interior, Motovun and Grožnjan, among vineyards and truffle forests. Further on, the Opatija Riviera, the island of Krk, the Slovenian coast and Trieste make up a road trip through three countries.
Two partner companies, Anywhere Campers and Petroni, offer everything in Pula from two-seat campervans to family motorhomes.

Head up the coast via Fažana, where boats leave for the Brijuni archipelago, then Rovinj, its peninsula and the bell tower of St Euphemia. After the Lim Channel, Poreč is home to the Euphrasian Basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The return cuts inland: Grožnjan, a village of artists, Motovun on its hill above the Mirna valley, then Pazin and its chasm. Village roads are narrow and car parks lie below the old towns.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Pula?
April and May
April to May
highs 17 to 21 °C, lows 11 to 15 °C
Spring in Istria is mild, with days that quickly warm up but a sea still cool for swimming. It is the season of wild asparagus and crowd-free inland villages; May remains fairly wet, so plan a few sheltered visits, such as the Arena or the Karst caves.
Best time
June and September
June, September
highs 24 to 27 °C, lows 18 to 20 °C
The best months to set off from Pula: the sea is above 20 °C, campsites still have space and the roads to Rovinj or Motovun flow freely. June is the driest; September keeps warm water but brings sometimes violent storms, more frequent towards the end of the month.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 29 to 30 °C, lows 22 to 23 °C
Peak season: heat, long evenings and a very busy coast, especially around Medulin, Fažana and Poreč. Book your vehicle and pitches well in advance, and keep Rovinj or the old town for the morning. In July, the Pula Film Festival takes over the Arena.
Winter
October to March
October to March
highs 10 to 20 °C, lows 5 to 14 °C
The late season and then winter remain mild on the coast but much wetter, November being the rainiest month. Many large Istrian campsites close between autumn and spring: check opening dates. Autumn is white truffle season around Motovun, and the bora wind can blow hard over the Kvarner Gulf.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
From Pula airport
Pula airport lies a few kilometres north-east of the town, with flights mostly from spring to autumn. Allow for a taxi to reach your rental company and let them know your landing time. Out of season, Rijeka airport, located on the island of Krk, or Trieste airport are alternatives.
The Istrian Y and the Učka tunnel
The two branches of the Istrian motorway, towards Umag and towards Rijeka, are largely tolled, as is the Učka tunnel, which shortens the crossing to the Kvarner Gulf. The rate depends on the vehicle category and payment methods are changing in Croatia: check the rules in force. The slower coastal roads are free.
No wild camping in Istria
Sleeping in your vehicle outside a campsite or an authorised place is forbidden in Croatia, and Istria's coastal municipalities check closely in summer. The large campsites of Medulin, Premantura, Fažana and Funtana are by the water; for a single night, a few motorhome areas offer a simpler option.
Slovenian vignette towards Trieste
To reach Trieste via the Slovenian coast, Slovenia's motorways and expressways require an electronic vignette, to be bought online before the border; its class depends on the vehicle's height. Above 3.5 tonnes, a different toll system applies. Secondary roads do not require one, but the journey is much slower.
The Arena and the centre on foot
The Roman amphitheatre, the Temple of Augustus and the old town are best visited on foot; the streets of the centre are narrow and parking there is scarce and paid. Leave the motorhome in a car park on the outskirts or at the campsite, then reach the centre by bus or by bike.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Pula
Where can I pick up a campervan in Pula?
Two partner companies have a depot in Pula: Anywhere Campers and Petroni. The exact address and the vehicle handover time are given in the booking confirmation. On departure day, allow time for the vehicle check and for shopping: the supermarkets on the outskirts, on the way to the motorway, are more practical than the centre.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Pula?
Our October 2026 searches, for 15-day rentals, mandatory fees included, found campervans from €183 per day in winter and from €218 in summer, large motorhomes from €239 and low-profile motorhomes from €257 per day in winter. Sixty-four offers from two rental companies were compared. Run a search with your dates to get the actual prices.
Which vehicles are available in Pula?
The offers observed range from two-seat campervans, such as the BudgetVan 55 or the Petrovan 53 4x4, to family motorhomes: the Carado T-447 with four berths, the Adria Matrix and Mc Louis MC4 873 with five, the Rimor Kilig 50, Horon 79M and Sunlight A70 with six, up to the Roller Team Kronos 277M, which sleeps seven. Several models come with a manual or automatic gearbox.
Can I do a one-way trip from Pula?
Yes: our partners also depart from nearby Krk and Rijeka, as well as from Zadar, Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik. A one-way trip from Pula to Dubrovnik lets you travel down the whole Croatian coast in one to two weeks. Enter your return city when searching: any one-way fees are then included in the displayed price.
Can I drive to Slovenia and Italy with a campervan hired in Pula?
The Slovenian border is about an hour's drive away via the Umag motorway, and Trieste half an hour further. Both countries are part of the Schengen area, like Croatia, but temporary checks remain possible: keep your identity documents with you. Above all, check in the offer conditions that the insurance covers these countries, sometimes for an extra fee.

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 Pula
Is mileage unlimited?
Just over half of the offers observed in Pula in October 2026 included unlimited mileage; the others limit the distance driven. For a loop around Istria, a limit is often enough, but a trip to Trieste and the Karst or a one-way journey to Dubrovnik makes an unlimited offer worth choosing. Check this point on each offer.
What excess should I expect for a motorhome hired in Pula?
The median excess of the offers observed is €1,500: this is the amount you pay in case of damage, usually held as a deposit at pick-up. Cover options can reduce it. On the small roads of inland Istria and in the narrow village lanes, a compact vehicle also limits the risk of scrapes.
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Croatia?
A category B licence is enough for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes; with a licence issued outside the European Union, an international driving permit may be required. In Croatia, dipped headlights are compulsory during the day in the winter-time period. Each rental company also sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years of driving, shown in the offer conditions.
How many days should I plan for Istria by motorhome?
The peninsula is compact: three or four days are enough for the west coast and the hilltop villages, while a week lets you add Cape Kamenjak, Labin and Opatija. With ten days to two weeks, you can combine Istria, the Slovenian coast, Trieste and the Karst caves, or head down towards the island of Krk and Dalmatia.
Can I reach Cape Kamenjak by motorhome?
Cape Kamenjak, a protected natural area south of Premantura, is only crossed by narrow dirt tracks, with a fee for vehicles in season. Large vehicles are ill-suited to them and their access may be restricted: check the rules in force, or leave the motorhome at a Premantura campsite and explore the coves by bike or on foot.
When should I book a campervan in Pula?
For July and August, several months in advance: Istria is the Croatian region closest to Central Europe and its campsites quickly fill up. With only two rental companies, the fleet is limited and campervans go first. In June, in September or out of season, a few weeks are usually enough, except for a one-way trip.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Pula
Within a few kilometres, Pula brings together a Roman city, unspoilt coves and a hilly hinterland where medieval villages overlook the vineyards. Istria is small enough to be explored without long drives, and its position, at the northern corner of the Adriatic, opens up Slovenia, Trieste and the Kvarner Gulf within a few hours.
Anywhere Campers and Petroni offer a varied range of vehicles there, from two-seat campervans to seven-berth motorhomes, with prices observed from €183 per day in October 2026. Rijeka and Krk, less than 70 km away as the crow flies, as well as Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik, other departure cities of our partners, make it possible to travel down the Croatian coast one way. From June to September, the warm sea and long evenings make Pula a pleasant starting point for discovering Croatia by motorhome.
