Rent a car or use public transportation

[medha]

Hello
Two of us from America want to fly into Zadar,visit Plitvice Lakes,Split,Hvar and then go to Dubrovnik and fly back from there in beginning of September for 8 days. Is it better to rent a car in Zadar and return it in Dubrovnik? How are the renting costs, tolls,gasoline prices and liabilities? Or, is it more convenient to use buses? Also, any suggestions for rental car companies? If buses, then any suggestions? 
I have not booked any part of my trip so I am open to itinerary changes. 
Thanks a lot.

I recommend you www.economycarrentals.com. So far I have had very good experiences and with a rental car you are more flexible to start an individual tour. On site, the rental cars are much more expensive

Thank you very much for your response!

You are welcome!

After booking you will find out in the email which provider at the airport you can pick up the car. some provider charge a little extra if you use the ferry - but it does not have to be.

Hello. My daughter and her friend want to travel to Kolan from Zagreb airport this month. They’re flight gets in just after 10pm. What is the best way for them to do this? I wouldn’t want them sleeping at the airport till the morning.

I recommend either to rent a car or spend the night in Zadar and the next morning by bus to Pag.

did you book a private accommodation? Landlords often offer a pick-up service for a surcharge

Economy is not a rental company but a consolidator and there are sure to be extra charges when you arrive. There are good local companies who will not charge you more when you arrive, I will post a link when I get back home tonight.
