How do I drive from Zagreb to Plitvice Lakes National Park?
Take the A1 motorway south towards Karlovac (exit at Karlovac), then follow the D1 road through Slunj towards the park. Total distance is approximately 140 km and takes 2 hours. The park has two entrances; Entrance 2 near the upper lakes is best reached from Zagreb. Arrive before 10 AM in summer to avoid the crowds.
Is Zagreb worth visiting beyond just passing through?
Absolutely. Zagreb is Croatia's most underrated destination. Plan at least 1–2 days: visit the Dolač market in the morning, walk Gornji Grad in the afternoon, and enjoy the evening špica (the traditional Zagreb Saturday coffee stroll). The Museum of Broken Relationships, the Mimara Museum of Art, and the Croatian Natural History Museum are all excellent.
What are the best day trips from Zagreb by car?
Plitvice Lakes (2 hours, unmissable), Varaždin baroque city (1 hour), Samobor and Žumberak hills (30 minutes), Zagorje castles and Kumrovec ethnographic village (1 hour), and the Karlovac river confluence area (45 minutes). For a longer trip, the Istrian coast (2.5 hours via the A6 motorway) is spectacular.
Where is the Zagreb Downtown office?
Our office is located at Ulica Kralja Zvonimira 37, in the eastern city centre near Kvaternikov Trg. We are open 08:00–20:00 and our staff is always on-site to assist you. Walk in any time during opening hours — no appointment needed.
Is winter equipment included in the rental?
Yes! All rentals from our Zagreb office include mandatory winter tires and equipment at no extra cost during the winter period (November 15 – April 15). This is a legal requirement in continental Croatia, and many competitors charge €5–€10/day extra for it.
How do I get from the train station to the office?
Zagreb Main Train Station (Glavni Kolodvor) is a straight 15-minute walk or a 5-minute ride on Tram 9 or 17. Our office at Zvonimira 37 is in the eastern city centre — walkable from Kvaternikov Trg (Kvatrić). No taxi needed.

Bilutleie Zagreb Downtown – Nær hovedjernbanestasjonen (Glavni Kolodvor)
Brilliant. Easy booking process, lots of additions at little to no extra cost and great insurance policy options too - didn’t have to have a deposit tied up for weeks with the option we chose. Communication instructions were clear & Avax contacts in pickup and dropoff locations (Split & Zagreb) were friendly and proactive. Car was as described and in good driving condition and inbuilt gps handy. Would definitely use them again when next in Croatia! Thank you 😃

Great service by Avax. Vladimir was very proactive and helped us with dropping off the car other than where we had originally planned and allowed us a bit of flexibility too. He gave detailed instructions for us as well.

First of all we ordered a Suzuki Vitara with manual gear but they give us a Toyota Cross-Yaris with automatic gear. Ok, the car was new and perfect. When it was to return the car they informed us that if we late even for a while they will charge us 50€. This is crazy! We had a little baby and they knew it. The communication with the company was good.

Top-notch service! Highly recommended!We had a fantastic experience with AVAX Car Rental in Croatia. Huge thanks to Vedran Vukušić and Vladimir for their outstanding professionalism.From the smooth pick-up with Vedran in Split to the drop-off in Zagreb, everything was seamless. They provided great flexibility with the schedule and drop-off location. On top of that, they went above and beyond by helping us retrieve a piece of luggage we accidentally left in the car.An absolute 10/10 company. I will definitely choose AVAX again for my future trips! Thank you so much!

Our Zagreb Centre office is conveniently located in the heart of Croatia's capital, making it the perfect starting point for exploring Zagreb and the wider continental Croatia region. Zagreb is a city of contrasts — its Austro-Hungarian lower town (Donji Grad) is a grid of elegant 19th-century boulevards, grand museums, and green squares, while the medieval upper town (Gornji Grad) perches on a ridge above, connected by the world's shortest funicular railway.
The city is far more than a stopover destination. Zagreb has excellent restaurants serving both modern Croatian cuisine and traditional dishes like štrukli (cheese pastry), a thriving craft beer and coffee culture, and some of Croatia's most important museums — including the Museum of Broken Relationships, which began as a concept in Zagreb before travelling the world. The Dolač outdoor market above the main square is one of Europe's most colourful morning markets.
With a rental car from our Zagreb Centre office, all of Croatia opens up before you. The A1 motorway south takes you to Plitvice Lakes (2 hours), Split (4 hours), and Dubrovnik (6 hours). Heading east on the A3 motorway leads to Slavonia and its oak forests, while the A2 north reaches Slovenia and Austria. For day trips, the baroque city of Varaždin (80 km), the castle town of Samobor (25 km), and the Zagorje castles are all easily reachable.

Kjøre Tips
Zagreb's city centre has a well-developed one-way street system — plan your route before setting off. The main ring road (Slavonska avenija) is the fastest way around the city. For the motorway, follow signs for "A1 Karlovac/Split" (south) or "A2 Ljubljana" (northwest). Paid parking zones cover most of the centre (Zones 1–3, colour-coded red/yellow/green). The most convenient paid garage for the city centre is the Importanne Centre underground garage on Juraj Frankopan Street. Traffic is worst weekdays 7:30–9:00 AM and 4:00–6:30 PM.
Vårt kontor i Zagreb er godt tilknyttet lokale nabolag inkludert Gornji Grad, Donji Grad, Maksimir, Trnje, Trešnjevka, Črnomerec, som gjør det enkelt å nå overnattingsstedet eller utforske byen og omegn.
