  I travelled from Venice to Croatia in April 2008 with my wife and 2 young children.  We had a lot of difficulty finding the best way to get there.  This seems to be a common problem, especially outside the peak summer season when there aren’t many ferries.  We found the best solution was to take a train to Trieste (2 hours) and a bus (2.5 hours)through Slovenia to Rijeka where we arranged to be met with a rental car at the bus station.  It can be hard to book a rental car in Croatia over the internet if you want to be met at a specific place, if you want to drop the car off at a different place from the pick up or if you want to hire in Italy and drive to Croatia. 

  The rental car company we dealt with was absolutely incredible with the lengths they went to to help us out – even giving us a free lift to the airport in Dubrovnik 2 days after we had finished with the car.  We had a brand new car, brand new child carseat and the cost quoted was exactly what we paid down to the last kuna – something I didn’t find renting from Budget and Avis in other countries on the trip – and we arranged it all from New Zealand.  We are going back this year and they have been even more helpful with our arrangements.  I have rented well over 100 rental cars before in different countries and I have never received service as good as the service I got from this company.
