BY CAR
Green insurance card, valid driver's licence and vehicle card are necessary if you want to use your car in Croatia. Traffic in the summer is usually very dense, especially at the border, which might cause minor delays. In the year 2005, the freeway A1 from Zagreb to Split was built. In the summer ''rush hour'' there might be longer delays and lines at the entrance of the tunnels St Rok and Mala Kapela, so it is recommended to take the alternative route i.e. use state roads.
