Rent a Car in Mostar

Yes, if you want to see more than the Old Town. The Kravice Waterfalls, Blagaj, Počitelj and Međugorje are poorly served by buses, and a hire car lets you reach all of them in a single relaxed day down the Neretva valley. It also makes pairing Mostar with the Croatian coast at Dubrovnik or Split far simpler.

You'll need a valid driving licence (usually held at least a year), a passport and a credit card in the main driver's name for the deposit. Most EU, UK and US licences are accepted; an International Driving Permit is a useful backup. Drivers are typically 21 or over, with a young-driver fee for those under 25.

Bosnia and Herzegovina drives on the right, with left-hand-drive cars. The main M17 valley road through Mostar is good and well signposted, but it narrows through tunnels, and the mountain lanes toward Blagaj and the villages can be tight and bumpy, so drive cautiously and don't rush.

Rentals include basic third-party cover, but the excess on damage and theft can be high. Gravel chips and kerbed wheels are common on the rural roads to Kravice and Počitelj, so it's worth checking the excess amount and adding full or zero-excess cover for peace of mind.

You can compare the suppliers that genuinely have cars in Mostar for your dates, including the established local agency Guma X, which operates at both Mostar airport and in the town centre. Rather than assuming a specific global brand has a desk here, we show the providers actually available, with their prices and pickup points side by side.
