Good to know
Age requirements for rentals often vary by supplier (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some providers in Bosnia and Herzegovina may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
Planning a trip with the kids? Car seat requirements vary depending on where you are, and the correct setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Check if you need to add one to your Banja Luka car rental booking.
You'll need some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's license, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.
Get familiar with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
