Data for Dubrovnik, Split, the islands and Zagreb, installed before you land. Croatia is on the Europe plan and on the Balkans plan, so a coast road trip that dips into Bosnia or Montenegro stays on one eSIM.
The Croatia plan covers Croatia only.

What's included, when it starts, and how to get connected.
Jadrolinija car ferries and the faster catamarans (Krilo, TP Line) link Split with Brač, Hvar, Vis and Korčula; in summer there are several a day, in winter sometimes one. Catamaran seats sell out in July and August — book online a few days ahead. A car on a ferry needs to queue early; a foot passenger with a bag does not.
The A1 motorway runs inland from Zagreb to Split and on towards Dubrovnik with tolls paid at booths (card is fine). The old Adriatic Highway (D8) hugs the coast, takes twice as long and is the reason you came. Since the Pelješac bridge opened in 2022 the drive to Dubrovnik no longer crosses into Bosnia at Neum, though the detour to Mostar is worth making on purpose.
Croatia adopted the euro and joined the Schengen area in January 2023, so there is no currency to change and no passport control from Slovenia, Hungary or Italy. Cards are accepted almost everywhere; small konobas on the islands sometimes still prefer cash. A tourist tax of a few euros a night is charged on top of the room.
The walls, Plitvice and the Split waterfront are at capacity from mid-June to early September. May, June, September and early October have the same light with half the people, and the sea stays swimmable into October. Plitvice needs a timed ticket in high season — book it before you drive there.
Pebbles and rock, almost everywhere — water shoes are the single most useful thing in the bag. Tap water is safe to drink throughout the country.
Croatia is on the Europe plan and on the Balkans plan. For a trip that stays on the coast, either works; the difference is what happens when the road leaves the country. The Europe plan carries on into Slovenia, Italy, Austria and Hungary. The Balkans plan carries on into Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo — the Dubrovnik–Kotor–Mostar triangle most road trips end up drawing.
Coverage follows the local networks: strong along the whole coast and on the ferry routes, good on the motorway, and thinner on the island interiors and in the mountains behind the coast, as it is for everyone.
Destination guides
About 1,900 km from Munich to Istanbul. The two routes, every vignette and toll at 2026 prices, what the EES means at the border, and Türkiye's new rule for foreign plates with unpaid tolls.
Destination guides
Munich to Prishtina is 1,300 km, two big borders and one argument about Hungary. The 2026 tolls, the Kosovo insurance booth, and how to keep the whole car online.
Answers about data, coverage and setup for Croatia.
Yes. Hvar, Brač, Korčula, Vis and the rest are Croatia and use the same networks as the mainland, and the ferries stay in range of the coast for most of the crossing. Coverage thins on the island interiors and the walking trails, so download an offline map of an island before you set off across it.
Yes, on either package. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro are on the Europe plan and on the Balkans plan, so the day trip from Dubrovnik to Kotor or from Split to Mostar carries on with the same allowance. Your phone picks up a partner network a minute or two after the border; nothing restarts. Check the country list on this page once, at the planning stage.
In Croatia itself, usually not: roam-like-at-home applies, within whatever fair-use allowance your home plan sets. The package earns its keep the moment the trip leaves the EU — Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania are all outside it and a European SIM charges its non-EU rate there — or if your home allowance is small. Visitors from outside the EU are a different story: Croatia is where a travel eSIM replaces a roaming day pass.
