Driving in Zagreb

You do not need a car to get around Zagreb as the public transport system is excellent. If you do have a car, remember that the core of the town centre is pedestrian only. As in many European cities, there are a welter of one-way streets that can make navigation difficult. Also, cars share the same roads as trams which gives you one other thing to watch out for.

Car Rental

I find that Autoeurope or Economy Car Rentals usually offer the best deals on car rentals in Zagreb. But there are plenty of other car rental companies with offices in central Zagreb or at the airport.

Parking

There are 24,174 parking places in Zagreb but try and find a spot when you need it!

Zagreb has three parking zones. Parking in the red zone in the city centre costs 14HRK an hour, in the yellow zone 7HRK and in the green zone 3HRK an hour. See a map of Zagreb parking zones.

Not only are fines steep for illegal parking but you risk getting towed.

Indoor Garages

There are a number of indoor garages and rates are reasonable. You will pay 7HRK/hour from 8am to 6pm; 4HRK/hour from 6pm to 8am and all day Sunday. The following indoor garages are open 24/7. (See a Zagreb street map)
