How to find a cheap car hire deal in Pula

  • Grab a cheap rental car in Pula and start your adventure for around R 2,266 a day. From solo adventures to group travel, we'll match you with a rental that works for you.

  • October is the cheapest month to rent a car in Pula. With average daily rates of R 649, you're cruising toward real savings.

  • If you want to time it right, book about one week ahead to score yourself a cheap rental car in Pula.

  • Trusted rental brands such as AVIA Rent, Surprice and Carwiz are among the best options for car hire deals in Pula.

  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Pula car hire policy, whether with AVIA Rent or another supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Booking one-way could land you a cheaper deal on your car hire. Providers sometimes offer lower prices when vehicles need to be moved between sites. Simply choose 'Return car to a different location' when searching for a car for rent in Pula.

  • Spend less on fuel by picking a car hire in Pula that has a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect your vehicle with a full tank and refill it before drop-off, so you're only paying for what you use.

  • Pack more into your journey by choosing a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, it means you can drive as far as you like without paying more.

  • Consider picking up one of the car rentals in Pula Airport if you're arriving by plane. You can skip public transport or cab lines and start discovering Pula right away.

Compare car hire types in Pula

  • Small: These cheap rental cars in Pula may be small in size, but they're big on what matters. Including mini and economy vehicles, they're agile, great on mileage, and perfect for city runs or weekend trips.

  • Medium: Choose from compact and intermediate cars that combine space, fuel efficiency and comfort. Easy to handle in cities and with enough space for longer drives, they work well for most trips.

  • Large: Offering a more comfortable driving experience and extra tech features, this Pula car hire category includes full-size cars. With larger back seats and ample storage space, they let you load up and transport everyone, and everything, with ease.

  • SUV: SUVs are ready whenever wanderlust hits. All-wheel drive and everyday versatility equip them for urban streets and country routes alike.

  • Van: If you're after a car for rent in Pula big enough for a small crowd (and their luggage), a van has space to spare. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're a great choice for group travel, moving or business use.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers your out-of-pocket costs if your Pula car hire is stolen or damaged. While not compulsory, it's a smart add-on if you'd rather play it safe. Just remember that policies differ from one provider to another, so make sure you know exactly what's offered.

  • Make life easier when you rent a car in Pula by adding some handy extras. Think things like a navigation system to make sure you never miss a turn, or reverse cameras that make parking feel effortless.

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you could encounter extra costs or restrictions. Check the terms set by each supplier before booking your rental in Croatia.

  • Travelling with kids? Child car seat laws vary according to the location, and the correct setup may depend on their height, age and weight. Be sure to add the right one to your Pula car hire reservation.

Hit the road: Where to drive from Pula
