Prior to 2023 you would be able to pay using a combination of euros and kunas for certain items. However, this has since changed and you\u2019ll now need to use euros for all your payments. <\/p><p>Cash machines are widely available all over the country and Visa or Mastercard cards can be used in most shops, supermarkets, caf\u00e9s, restaurants, bars, hotels, hostels and when buying transport tickets too.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/article><h4>Using debit cards<\/h4><p>Travel-friendly debit cards can give you the best of both worlds: the ability to spend your own money abroad and the freedom to withdraw cash without incurring extra charges. The best debit cards for travel in Croatia will allow you to withdraw euros from an ATM without incurring foreign ATM usage fees. Over the length of a trip, ATM fees can add up to the price of a night out. <\/p><p><a class=\"more-link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/debit-cards-low-foreign-transaction-fees\">Compare UK debit cards with low transaction fees<\/a><\/p><h4>Using prepaid travel cards<\/h4><p>You can load euros onto all travel money cards and spend without incurring the fee for currency conversion. This is the main feature of any travel money card, and one of the main reasons why they\u2019re popular with travellers. With that box ticked, choosing the right travel money card to take to Croatia will require a comparison of the cards\u2019 other features such as reload fees, inactivity fees and ATM withdrawal fees.<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> You reload these products via online transfer while you\u2019re overseas. It can take up to 3 business days for some types of payment to clear, and even longer if you try to reload your card over a weekend or public holiday. With this in mind, avoid letting your balance drain to \u20ac0 before loading to avoid being stranded without any funds.<\/li><\/ul><p><a class=\"more-link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/travel-money\/prepaid-cards\">Compare prepaid cards for travelling<\/a><\/p><h4>Using credit cards<\/h4><p>Visa and Mastercard credit cards \u2014 the majority of cards issued in the UK \u2014 are widely accepted in Croatia. The currency conversion fee (or lack thereof) is what to look for.<\/p><p>There are a handful of credit cards which let you spend in another currency without paying the extra 3%. Check with your credit card provider to see if this is a favourable option for you. But be sure to watch out for cash advance fees and charges if you make a withdrawal on credit, it\u2019s one of the most expensive ways to get cash. <\/p><p>Also be aware you\u2019ll usually be charged interest on your balance unless you pay it off in full each month \u2013 cash advances attract interest from the moment you get your cash.<\/p><ul class=\"list-4\"><li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Some credit cards offer complimentary international travel insurance when you charge the cost of your travel ticket to your card.<\/li><\/ul><p><a class=\"more-link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/credit-cards\/travel-credit-cards\">Compare travel credit cards<\/a><\/p><h4>Using traveller\u2019s cheques<\/h4><p>Avoid traveller\u2019s cheques if you can \u2013 this travel money product is more hassle than it\u2019s worth in Croatia.

These features have made traveller\u2019s cheques redundant over the last few years.<\/p><h4>Using an ATM in Croatia<\/h4><p>ATMs are easily found all over Croatia. Croatian ATMs use the 4-digit PIN and chip system so all UK debit and credit cards will be easily accepted. If you are withdrawing a large sum of money, you may get stuck with large bills.<\/p><h3 id=\"howmuch\">How many euros should I take to Croatia?<\/h3><p>It\u2019s true that a holiday in Croatia is no longer as affordable as it once was, but you\u2019ll still find it noticeably cheaper than the rest of Western Europe. If you\u2019re travelling during summer, especially along the coastal stretch, expect to fork out more money than you would for a holiday during the rest of the year.<\/p><p>But if this can\u2019t be avoided, there are other ways.

Exchange booths (mj\u00e8nj\u0101\u010dnica), banks and post offices will change euros, American dollars, Australian dollars, pounds, Serbian dinar, Hungarian forint and Swiss francs.<\/p><p>Post offices and banks are usually the most dependable places to get your money changed.<\/p><ul><li><b>Exchanging currency on the islands. <\/b>If you\u2019re heading to one of Croatia\u2019s many beautiful islands, it\u2019s best to exchange foreign currency into the euros on the mainland (or just use an ATM \u2014 operator fees apply). Tourist agencies and exchange offices are plentiful on the islands, but the rate is often unfavourable.<\/li><li><b>For road-trippers.<\/b> If you are arriving to Croatia by car, one of the first things you see once you cross the border will be exchange booths. Just change enough to get you to the nearest town unless you are absolutely sure of the exchange rate as these roadside exchange booths are unlikely to give you a good rate. Even if you are arriving from neighbouring countries that don\u2019t use euro, make sure you have euro to change. It is by far the most accepted foreign currency for exchange. You will be surprised at the unwillingness of exchange booths to accept Serbian dinar on the Croatian\/Serbian border or Hungarian forint on the Hungarian\/Croatian border, for example. <\/li><li><b>For jet-setters.<\/b> True for almost everywhere in the world: do not get your money changed at the airport. If you need cash and you don\u2019t have euros, just change a small amount to get you into town.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"currency\">Buying currency in the UK<\/h3><p>You have a number of options for picking up euros in the UK. Your bank can sell you euros for a competitive rate but you will be charged a commission for the service.<\/p><p>Providers such as the Post Office also sell you euros \u2013 you can order online and collect your cash from a branch near you before you leave. There\u2019s no commission and they offer a reasonably competitive rate compared with many banks.<\/p><h3>Exchange rates<\/h3><p>It\u2019s worth getting a good exchange rate, as this will leave you with a little more to spend on your trip. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/travel-money\" title=\"Travel Money Comparison\">Compare your options<\/a> and make sure you\u2019re getting the best exchange rate possible. Prepaid travel cards let you preload funds in advance, so you might want to take advantage of this feature when exchange rates are good. <\/p><h3>Why you\u2019ll need a combination of travel money options<\/h3><p>Taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/travel-money\/prepaid-cards\" title=\"Prepaid Travel Cards\">prepaid card<\/a> is a good, safe option for your holiday, as is a debit card with no transaction or withdrawal fees, but it\u2019s also worth taking some cash for small payments such as bus journeys or snacks, as not everywhere will accept card payments. <\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block has-padding-small\">We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet.
