Car rental and travel can be difficult, with so many different agencies and prices it gets confusing. Our Croatian road trip was the opposite, car rental was easy, driving in Croatia is a breeze and it went better than any other care hire we've ever experienced. We owe that thanks to ERC for reaching out and showing us the best way to rent a car!
Zagreb to Zadar is a nice stretch of road, about 300km, and the road trip itself takes about 4 hours to drive if you're cruising. Taking your time and enjoying the beauty of Croatia is recommended, it's a stunning country that you should definitely travel to.
This video was sponsored by EasyRentCars, but the opinions shared and experience we had with the car rental are transparent and honest. We genuinely will use ERC for our next car rental and recommend you do as well: bit.ly/2MPtYr7

As a Croat I really like to watch these travel vlogs about my country :D They make me even more appreciate my home.

06:25 you are literally 50m away from the building I grew up in. Was crossing that bridge 9 years everyday going to school :) 09:09 on that place was one of the biggest if not the biggest Roman Temples in Roman empire. Those rocks would be what is left. In 1945 Zadar was ERASED with bombs, check it out it is amazing, the city was not existing. And that is how they discovered that the temple was there, before buildings were on it. Republic of Venice built Zadar, and they built it for themselves so before bombing it was very very beautiful city. If it was not smashed in WW2 it would be side by side with Dubrovnik by beauty.

[@dinkofabris1047]

How much beauties this country provide..😍❤

[@x5xxxniksx830]

[@laroxxe9]

I just came back from my Erasmus in Zadar and seeing your vlog has made me so emotional! The city truly is a gem, I cannot describe the feeling of getting to watch the dawn everyday from the sea organ. Love your videos!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Ohhh thats so nice, we're glad to be able to remind you of your time there!

[@sinimini]

I've watched many channels from their humble beginnings that turned into big hitters. This has all the hallmarks of being one of them. Keep doing what you are doing guys, this is a great channel powered by a lovely couple!

Aww that was a really sweet surprise. Don’t know how you guys were still filming and talking I would be too excited and giddy 😂... The drive was scenic loved it and for me 130km/hr would feel too fast for me . Anything above 100 and I feel like am flying

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We felt like we were in a rocket ship :P OK maybe not that fast, we need to go to the Autobahn roads for that haha

[@aniaka7620]

When in Croatia you should visit Vodice (1h south from Zadar) and Opatija :)

[@petar1008]

Pffff Nooooo :) Vodice :D :D :D Primosten is billion times more beautiful than Vodice and is 30 min away. And Opatija is boring place for Austrian grandmothers and grandfathers. When in Croatia, STICK TO THE ISLANDS :) Further away from the mainland the better it is. I recommend Hvar (South side) Vis, Lopud, Mljet, Lastovo, Dugi Otok, Silba, Mali Losinj, Cres.

[@cindy-ml7vo]

Glad mom stopped crying, wishing all of you safe travels. Great video. What was the deal with the guy throwing the yellow sticky toy against the glass? Just thought that was hilarious. It would be great if it's the package delivery guy, here is your toy to prove I was here, try again tomorrow.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

He had a whole collection of the - just stood there throwing them against the wall and they flip down, sorta like a slinky. He didnt seem to care about showing them to any potential buyers, then boom, some lady and a kid stopped and bought 3!

[@iva9906]

Im from Croatia and i go to Zadar on summer break and its amazing but if you ever go to Croatia again you should visit like Slavonija, Međimurje, and my hometown od course: Varaždin 😉😉

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Laura. We will be checking out Hvar on our cruise, have heard great things about it.

[@tomroncevic4404]

We spent about a month in Zagreb and a day in Zadar.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Pretty much identical to us then!! Hope you enjoyed it

[@bobguenther6658]

That drive was beautiful! Glad it was a great surprise for everybody. Question...when you were walking to the cruise ship did I see a guy throw what looked to be a French fry on the building or window?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha yeah that bit was random, it was a guy selling sticky action figure man type things. They would stick, then flip over down the window like a slinky!

Is it hard and/or expensive to find parking for a rental car there in Croatia?

Simple - you won't have any troubles! In Zadar we just parked 5 mins out of the main busy area in a residential spot and it was easy.

Not sure if you are aware about it, but this is how Zadar looked like 75 years ago. vojnapovijest.vecernji.hr/vojna-povijest/grad-feniks-kako-je-i-zasto-zadar-razoren-u-2-svjetskom-ratu-1061875 The old town was completely destroyed, 80% of buildings. The city only had 20,000 inhabitants. It was an Italian city, almost exclusively inhabited by the Italian settlers from south Italy. Almost like an island. In the early 1940s, it was a fascist colony and since 1943 a Nazi stronghold, occupied by the Germans. Therefore it was bombarded heavily.
