Bad news for holidaymakers in Croatia: from 1 July, motorway tolls will be increased by ten percent. Seasonal toll prices will apply until the end of September. However, buses and trucks are exempt from the price increase.
According to highway company HAC, seasonal toll prices were introduced in 2017. However, in the past four years (during and after the corona crisis), they have not been applied as one of the measures to support citizens and the economy during the tourist season.
40 percent of annual traffic in the summer months
In Croatia, approximately 40 percent of the total annual traffic volume takes place in the summer months, and on some highways the number of vehicles increases up to three times in summer compared to the rest of the year. “As a result, the costs for maintenance, security, monitoring and traffic management increase significantly in the summer months,” the road manager explains.
Traveling by car on the Zagreb-Rijeka route now costs 10.10 euros instead of the previous 9.20 euros. The toll on the Zagreb-Zadar route will increase from 16 euros to 17.60 euros, and on the Zagreb-Split route the toll will now cost 26.40 euros instead of 24 euros, according to the new price list.
