# Driving Tips for Croatia
Get behind the wheel of a Croatia rental car from SIXT and enjoy the country on your own terms. Knowing a few Croatia driving tips can help you enjoy your drive time as much as possible. Here are a few to get you started with your rental car in Croatia:
-On the right: As in America and most of Europe, driving is on the right side of the road.
-Speed limits: 31 mph (50 km/h) within Croatia, 50 mph (80 km/h) beyond city limits, and 81 mph (130 km/h) on motorways are the standard limits, but drive more slowly in the cases of inclement weather, pedestrian traffic, narrow roads, or construction.
-Headlights: From October to March, if your Croatia car rental is turned on, your headlights should be on, too – day and night.
-Tolls: You will encounter tolls in and around Zagreb and between Zagreb and Split. Ask SIXT about a Toll Pass.
When you secure a Croatia car rental from SIXT, you have the freedom to enjoy this fascinating country your way.
-*Dubrovnik *: This coastal city with its Old Town, limestone streets, 15th century clock tower, and 17th century cathedral served as a location for Game of Thrones. Admire the view from the top of the city’s walls and cool off with a swim in the Adriatic.
-Zagreb: Located inland near the border of Slovenia, this capital city offers cobblestone streets, Baroque places, and Gothic churches. Visit the Museum of Broken Relationships, the Hangover Museum, and stop by the Dolac Market for inexpensive local cuisine.
-Island hopping: Over a thousand different islands in the Adriatic help create the beautiful country that is Croatia, so consider taking a sailing tour around these islands. Set off from Split, and enjoy some of Croatia’s most awe-inspiring geography.
