Welcome to Bosnia and Herzegovina: A Land of History, Culture, and Stunning Landscapes!

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a captivating destination where East meets West, blending vibrant traditions, rich history, and remarkable natural beauty. From the historic streets of Sarajevo to the breathtaking landscapes of Mostar and the untouched wilderness of Sutjeska National Park, this country offers unforgettable experiences. Whether you're exploring the iconic Stari Most bridge in Mostar, walking through Sarajevo’s Old Bazaar, or soaking in the thermal waters of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina is truly one-of-a-kind.


Arriving in Bosnia and Herzegovina is convenient, with major international airports in Sarajevo (SJJ), Mostar (OMO), and Banja Luka (BNX). These airports serve as perfect starting points for your adventure, and car hire services available at these locations make it easy to hit the road right after you land. Renting a car gives you the flexibility to discover both the vibrant cities and the picturesque countryside at your own pace.


Booking your rental car in advance ensures a smooth pickup experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the country’s unique cultural landmarks, beautiful national parks, and charming towns.

Driving in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country rich in history, with breathtaking vistas and a warm, welcoming culture. Begin your adventure in Sarajevo, the capital, often referred to as the “Jerusalem of Europe” for its harmonious mix of religions and cultures. Don’t miss landmarks like the Latin Bridge, the Old Bazaar (Baščaršija), and Vrelo Bosne, a tranquil park at the source of the Bosna River.


Head south to Mostar, famous for its UNESCO-listed Stari Most (Old Bridge), which arches gracefully over the Neretva River. The nearby Kravica Waterfalls are a stunning natural attraction and perfect for a refreshing dip in the summer. For nature enthusiasts, Sutjeska National Park, home to the Perucica Rainforest and the dramatic peaks of Maglić Mountain, is a must-see.

For a slower pace, visit the charming town of Trebinje in the country’s south, known for its peaceful ambiance, historic monasteries, and beautiful wine region. Bosnia and Herzegovina also boasts medieval fortresses like Počitelj and Vranduk, providing a glimpse into its storied past.


Driving in Bosnia and Herzegovina is generally safe, though roads in rural areas can be winding and narrow. Keep an eye out for road signs in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts. The country follows right-hand driving, and toll roads are not widespread, but you may encounter small fees for certain tunnels or bridges. Parking is straightforward in smaller towns but can be limited in city centers like Sarajevo, so using public garages or designated parking lots is recommended.

*Hassle-Free Desk: The dreaded moment when the rental company hits you with upsells, extra inspections, or credit card dramas—turning what should be a quick pick-up into a drawn-out negotiation.

Third-Party Protection: What you need to know
Some companies might call it 'Full Protection' or 'Premium Protection', but we're here to tell you the facts.
Third-party protection does cover you fully against damage costs, just like our best product. However, the rental desk experience? That's still going to be the same as if you'd picked the basic option.
What is Third-Party Protection?It's an independent coverage that protects you from damage costs the rental company could charge. It works well but doesn't change how things go down at the rental desk.If you're interested in third-party protection, Rental Cover is our preferred partner. You can learn more or purchase coverage directly by visiting their website.
Check them out
What is expected at the Rental Desk:Even with third-party protection, you'll still face the usual desk drama—deposits, credit card holds, and those upsell attempts. While you're financially protected, the hassle at the desk doesn't go away.We believe in keeping things clear: while third-party protection covers you well, the customer experience remains basic.
View Protection Products
The Role of the Car Rental Company:Rental companies insure their cars, and they need you to either buy their protection or leave a deposit. Third-party protection takes care of the financial risks, but the rental company still holds the cards at pick-up.Want to avoid the hassle entirely? Read more about our Best Protection, which keeps both your wallet and your rental process smooth.
