Croatia Driving Info

This is all rudimentary but these features are always different in different models.

REMEMBER to Ask the rental agent to show you how to turn on:

windshield wipers
turn signals
headlights
cruise control

Another important point is how to get the car into reverse.

Where is the gas cap located and how do you open it?

Location of emergency brake, hood latch, and trunk latch.

It has been reported that auto rental companies in Europe are fanatical about dings and nicks. Small stuff can turn into mountains in their eyes. The next time I rent a car in Europe I am going to take a photo of every side and the bumpers so that if I am charged for a dent I will know whether or not it was there when I rented the car, and so will they and so will my credit card company.
