Lead free petrol (Bezolovni Benzin/Eurosuper 95 of 98) and diesel (Eurodiesel) are widely available. LPG (LPG/Autoplin) is reasonably available. When filling up with LPG, the Italian connection (dish) is used. Petrol stations are open from 7:00 to 19:00 (in the summer to 22:00) and, along the major through roads, the petrol stations are usually open 24 hours. In petrol stations along smaller roads, sometimes it is only possible to pay in cash.

The network of charging stations is not yet well-established. Plan your visit well.

Low beam lights (or daytime running lamps) are mandatory during the day from October through March. At equivalent crossings, traffic from the right has right of way. Traffic on the roundabout has right of way if so indicated by traffic signs. Uphill traffic on mountain roads has priority over downhill traffic. Drivers may only call handsfree.

From mid-November through mid-April, winter tyres (or snow chains in the car) are mandatory.

You may not pass a stationary school bus. During an overtaking manoeuvre, you must have your signal on the entire time. During the winter, you are required to clear your car of snow and ice before driving away.

If there is visible damage to the care, ask for a police report; you will need to show it at the border on your way home.

In July and August, there are hardly any free pitches to be found at campsites in Istria and along the northern Dalmatian coast. It would be wise to make a reservation on time if you want to go camping during the high season.
The construction of the motorway between Zagreb and Dubrovnik has made campsites in the centre and south of the Dalmatian coast increasingly popular. The often idyllically located campsites on the island are particularly suitable for campers with tents.
Campsites in Croatia can be enormous, especially on the coast. They have extensive amenities, such as shops and restaurants. Entertainment is standard at large campsites. It is prohibited to stay overnight along a public road in a caravan, motorhome or car.
