Why Renting a Car and Taking the Ferry Is the Ultimate Travel Hack 💎

#croatianislands POV: you have recently booked your rental car with Trip.com for your journey in Croatia, now how do you hop on and off between the islands? Jadrolinya ferries!
When you think of Croatia’s islands, what comes to mind? Maybe turquoise waters, medieval towns, and long summer nights under the stars. But here’s the secret most people don’t realize: the best way to explore this Adriatic paradise isn’t by joining group tours or relying on public transport. It is by renting a car and taking it with you on the ferries that connect the mainland to the islands. Yes, you can literally drive your way across Croatia’s dreamy archipelago, and it is easier than you think.

During my trip to Croatia last summer, I discovered how game-changing this approach can be. With nothing but my driver’s license, a ferry schedule, and a car rental booked in advance, I unlocked a level of freedom that made the journey unforgettable.
