Toll cost Croatian Motorway
During the last decade, Croatia has been in process of building new motorways trough out the country, expect for the last 140 km from Ravča (Ploće) to Dubrovnik, the main parts of the motorways is now finished.
A1 Zagreb – Dubrovnik
The Motorway A1 is also called Europe’s most beautiful highway, once you have driven it I am sure you will agree to this.
Currently a total of 456 km between Zagreb and Ploče (Ravča), has been finished, from the last exit there Is about 10 km to Ploče and about 95 km to Dubrovnik.
Toll fees apply on the Croatian motorway e.g. is the price from Zagreb to Zadar 105 kn, Zagreb – Split 157 kn and Zagreb to the current end point Ravča – 187 kn.
INSIDER TIP: if you should get hungry driving on A1, I recommend you to stop by the restaurant Macola which is situated about 200 km from Zagreb.

The 140 km long motorway between Zagreb and Rijeka was finalized at the end of 2008, tool fee for the 140 km motorway is 60 kn.

I am about to drive from London to Bar (Montenegro). When I have done this in the past the last section, after Split has wrecked me. I was hoping the highway from Split to Dubrovnic would be finished.
Could someone tell me A) how much of the last leg from Split to Dubrovnic is highway and how much is coastal road and b) a good place to sleep just before the road turns coastal so I can take on the last leg of the journey afresh?
Thanks BB
Hi Barry,
What a coincident
I actually went to Dubrovnik today from Split, so I have fresh information about the motorway. From the current ending point in Ravča there is 140 km to Dubrovnik, it take about 40 minutes on a relative small road to climb down to the coastal road in Ploče, (It might even be better to go direction Metoković and then get on the coastal road in Opuzen – but I did not try way yet.)
After exiting highway you could maybe find accommodation in Vrgorac or Prolog, which is the two first cities you come to, I can although not say for sure as I never stayed there my selves, alternatively you stay overnight in Klek which is few km after you get on the coastal road in Opuzen.

In a few weeks I will drive from Split to Dubrovnik (and then return). What is your best advice as the route to take, combining sightseeing and speed. I am inclined to take the motorway from Split to Ravča and then go via Ploce to Dubrovnik. Is this the best way? Do you know approximate driving times (Split-Ravča Ravča-Ploce and Ploce-Dubrovnik?
Thanks so much

Hi George,
If you haven’t driven on the coastal road between Split and Dubrovnik, you should for sure do that in one of the directions, it is a really beautiful trip, which will take you about 4.5 hours, if you sticking to speed limits
Last Thursday I went to Dubrovnik from Split, on the motorway It took me around 50 minutes to get from centre of Split to ending point Ravča and another 35-40 minutes from ending point to Ploče, from Ploće it took me around 2 hours to Dubrovnik, so I total around 3.5 hours, on days with less traffic you might be able to do the trip in a bit more then 3 hours.

Hi there
Great site, thanks for all the info so far. Hope you can help me with a bit more up to date info
In the next couple of weeks I’m planning to drive to Greece pulling a trailer/caravan, and am really looking forward to the Zagreb-Dubrovnik section. Last time I went that way was at least 18 years ago, I’m sure it’s changed a lot…
Can you tell me how much of the A1 is completed now, and is it ok to sleep on motorway service areas – we used to pull over in the campervan on the old road, but it’s probably different now!
Also, do you know anything about the road beyond, in montenegro and albania?
thanks for your help
Hi Kriticat
That is what you call a long trip!! Ravca is still the last exit point from there you have 140 km on partly very small road to Dubrovnik. I am not sure it it actually allow to sleep on the motorway service areas, but i see many who do so, so i guess it should not be any problem, regarding the roads further down i unfortunately cant help you with any information. I wish you a nice trip.
Kindest regards, Morten
Hi Morten:
I am traveling for the first time to Croatia nest September. I intend to travel to Dubravink by car. Are there any concerns about passing through Bosnia? Is it easy or are there long waits? Is there another route? I also intend to travel into Montenegro (bay of Kotor)for a day trip, is this a bad idea due to border crossings?
Thanks for any advise!
Hi Brian, i would guess i went through Bosinian about 25 times going to Dubrovnik, till now i never hat to wait more then 1 or 2 minutes, so i think you should have no problem in September. The only think you have to watch out for when you drive on the part of the coastal road going through Bosnia, is speeding, the Police is quite often standing somewhere with the radar. In relation to Montenegro i dont have any own experience, but i havent heard there should be any problem.
Brgds, Morten
