Dubrovnik car hires from £4/day

As the city has very narrow parts, a small economy car is advised when cruising through the city. For more space and road grip, opt for an SUV or minivan, while those who want to get the most out of the beautiful Croatian sunshine might prefer a convertible.

All speed limits are given in km/h in Croatia and are indicated with posted signs on the right side of the road. General restrictions dictate 50 km/h (31 mph) inside the city, 80 km/h (49 mph) outside built-up areas, and 110 km/h (68 mph) on main and rural roads. On freeways, up to 130 km/h (80 mph) is permitted.

Parking spaces are metered outside the city walls (driving inside the walls is not permitted), and tickets need to be bought with the exact amount of coins. Alternatively, tickets can also be issued by the hotel reception, corner shops, or with your mobile phone. Rates depend on the parking zone, so check on the signs for which zone you are in. There are also parking garages available like the Ilijina Glavica or the free parking lot in Babin Kuk, from which a bus takes 20 minutes to get to the Old Town.
