The journey from London to Croatia by Eurolines

Eurolines enables its passengers up to 7 coach services between the UK and Croatia. The connection to Croatia is an indirect route and requires change in Frankfurt.
Transport from London to Zagreb, Rijeka, Zadar and Split is carried out with traditional Eurolines’ vehicles. All Eurolines’ coaches have on-board toilets, reclining seats and air-conditioning as standard.
Sometimes the coach that picks you up from your departure point has only the final destination displayed on the front windscreen. This is because the majority of Eurolines routes include multiple stops and it would be impractical to display every stop on the front windscreen. Also, you may have booked a journey which requires a change of coach. In both examples, please ask the driver to confirm that his/her coach is going to the destination stated on your ticket.
Eurolines put the safety and comfort of passengers first, so the vehicles are equipped with a large number of safeguards. The operators are using modern vehicles with large panoramic windows and increased legroom.

Check-In at Croatia

Zagreb’s Bus Station is the biggest and most contemporary station in this area of Europe, which provides its customers with fast and safe transport to any destination in the Republic of Croatia, as well as to bigger European cities. Situated in the vicinity of the ban Jelacic square, central Zagreb square, near the most important city roads, with a spacious and guarded parking lot, it offers its customers a large number of different shopping, fun & rest facilities.
Split’s Bus station is located in the very centre of the city, right next to city harbour and railway station. This is the location that enables quick and simple communication and passenger transfer.
Scheduled bus and coach lines connect Rijeka with bigger Croatian and European cities. The bus terminal is in the city centre - Zabica. If you have to change buses or you have time for sightseeing, you can leave your luggage in the left-luggage department.
Zadar's bus station is a short walk out of the town centre. It's a busy place as nearly every bus travelling up or down the Croatian coast stops at Zadar.

If there’s no office for check-in, then check-in takes place directly on the coach. Services returning to London arrive in Victoria Coach Station’s Arrivals terminal, customers making onward coach connections will need to cross the street to the Departures terminal

Sea crossings

This route involves a sea crossing which, depending on which service you are on, will either by Eurotunnel or by ferry (check timetables for specific information). On arrival at the ferry port or Eurotunnel terminal customers will be required to disembark from the coach and pass through both UK and destination country Border Control offices and show their passports. Normally customers are not required to be accompanied by their luggage, however occasionally Border Control officials do require customers to take their own luggage with them.

Travel insurance

The best way to protect against unexpected accidents is to buy travel insurance. In my opinion, so that the journey is stress-free, you should never travel without travel insurance. You can insure only for travel, it’s possible directly on the Eurolines website, during ticket purchase. You can also insure individually with another insurer. This will be the insurance that will apply during the journey and while in a foreign country. The insurance should cover: loss of cash and goods, cancellation of travel and the main treatment abroad. If you travel several times a year and want to save money, you may want to buy an annual insurance policy. Click here to buy insurance.
