Travel in comfort from Budapest to Rijeka, Croatia's main port on the Kvarner Gulf and the gateway to the Adriatic islands. Door-to-door to your hotel, the cruise terminal or the ferry port, with all tolls and vignettes in one fixed price.
Discover the Journey
The drive from Budapest to Rijeka takes about 5 to 5.5 hours: the M7 motorway to Letenye, past Zagreb, then the A6 across the Gorski Kotar mountains with a long descent to the sea at Kvarner. Both countries are in Schengen, so borders are normally open.
Fixed price with all Hungarian and Croatian tolls, vignettes and fuel included, and the driver takes you to the exact address — which matters if you're catching a Jadrolinija ferry to Cres, Rab or the Dalmatian islands and working to a sailing time. We schedule a comfort stop, and Plitvice or Zagreb can be added as a break in the journey.
About Rijeka
Rijeka is Croatia's third-largest city and its principal port, a working harbour town rather than a resort — which is much of its appeal. The Korzo promenade runs through a centre of Habsburg and secession-era facades, with the hilltop Trsat castle and pilgrimage church above and the striking Rijeka Carnival filling the streets each winter.
It was European Capital of Culture in 2020, which brought new museums and gallery space into former industrial buildings. Practically, Rijeka is the hub for ferries to the Kvarner islands and down the Dalmatian coast, a growing cruise call, and fifteen minutes from the belle-époque resort of Opatija.
