Usually, an international driver's license when renting a motorcycle in Croatia is not required. BUT, have in mind, without a special motorcycle license you will not be able to rent a motorcycle higher than 50cc in Croatia. EU licenses are valid through all EU countries. Non-EU citizens visiting Croatia may use the driver’s license of its origin country for up to three months without having to change it into an international one or a domestic one.

Any motorcycle damage or theft is covered by the deposit of EUR 1.000 to EUR 2.000 Euro taken upfront before completing the rental process.

Have your documents ready, such as your passport or national ID, the vehicle documents and proof of insurance (IVK - International Insurance Card with the country you want to visit), both of which you will receive from your rental company. In many countries, it is important to provide proof that you are allowed to travel to other countries with a rented motorcycle. It is therefore always advisable to have a border crossing permit from your rental company with you. If you need more information, read more about it on our blog.

No, but it is highly recommended to be as visible as you can. But we always provide you with 2 safety vests, just in case. A helmet is required by law with a 150 Euro fine in case of not wearing your helmet while riding.

Yes. As in almost all European countries, tolls are also due in Croatia. Only a few countries are exceptions in Europe.

Croatian national ferry company provides an online booking system. To ensure you’ll reach your island destination, we recommend booking ferry tickets a couple of days prior to departure. Have in mind that in high season Croatian national ferry company Jadrolinija transports thousands of passengers, so be there on time. That means at least 2 hours before your departure.

Plan your trip ahead. High season usually means that city locations like Split and Dubrovnik are overcrowded and overbooked. However, there are tons of great locations for explorers like Gorski Kotar or islands. Free camping is not legal in Croatia, so if you plan to sleep under the stars and safe environment, make sure that your little private camp is well hidden. A valid option worth mentioning is official campsites. Mostly located along the coastline, should you feel tired and in need of rest, there are plenty to choose from without booking ahead.

But have in mind, it is always good to be prepared at least with a tent.

Free parking spots in Croatia are rare and unique. But not for motorcycles. However, in Croatia, official parking locations provide free parking for motorcycles. It is relatively easy to search them up and park there if you are visiting a special location for a day or more. Also, try parking where locals do. Croatia is safe in terms of motorcycle theft, so most locals do not lock up their motorcycles. Usually, free parking locations are busy locations as well which reduces the probability of theft and damage. In the worst-case scenario, MotoGS Rental`s motorcycles are covered in the event of theft. Your motorcycle rental coverage goes up to your paid deposit and not one cent more.
