Rent car Green Card in Dubrovnik (Croatia)

score:2

Accepted answer

It is quite common, both in Europe and elsewhere, that rental car usage is geographically restricted. This is not directly related to the green card. The green card is issued by the insurance company and tells where the car insurance is valid. What you need is a rental contract, allowing you to use the car where you intend to use it. The insurance for the car may very well be valid for Bosnia, even if the rental company does not allow you to drive there.

  1. You need a green card to enter Bosnia (to prove that the car is insured there), but this alone is not enough. The rental contract must also allow you to enter Bosnia. It is very unlikely that the rental contract is checked at the border, but if something should happen in Bosnia and the rental company realizes that you were there without permit, you may face problems.

  2. Yes, the rental contract is different.

  3. No, the car only has one green card listing all countries, for which the insurance is valid. Or more precisely: The green card is per default valid in all countries participating in the green card agreement, but some countries may be excepted from coverage. Usually the non-covered countries are listed on the card.

For details about your rental company, you will have to contact them to clarify. It may very well be that the rental company allows you to pass the short stretch through Bosnia to get from Dubrovnik to Split without allowing you to drive elsewhere in Bosnia. It is also perfectly possible to go from Dubrovnik to Split without entering Bosnia at all, but you will then have to take a short ferry e.g. from Ploče to Trpanj.
