How old do you have to be to rent a car in Zadar?
Zadar rules state drivers must be 18 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions.

While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Zadar?
Generally, you'll need a driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between providers, so it's wise to read the fine print.
