Finance and Banking: how it works in Croatia — first-hand

From real experience

how-toTo rent a car in Croatia (e.g., Split) without a European card: 1. Inquire at the airport rental desk about paying in cash; this may waive the deposit requirement. 2. Use local rental company apps that accept Russian cards or search engines like Google/Yandex for options. 3. Opt for full insurance, which can reduce the strictness regarding credit card requirements.
The fuel deposit might be payable with a debit card.
