Do we need a border card to drive from Dubrovnik to Split?

We are still deciding whether to take a ferry to Split or drive our rental car up the coast from Dubrovnik. Will we need a border card to cross into and through the thin slice of Bosnia near Neum? Thanks for your help.

Hi Baloney,

No idea what a border card is, but you will need passports to go into Bosnia and then into Croatia again, since there is a real border crossing there.

The ferry will take you very long (plus it's more expensive), driving it's about 3 hours. The views should be beautiful though in both cases.

You will also need to check that the car is insured for Bosnia.

Regarding extra car insurance to drive in Bosnia: our car rental company said as long as we drove straight through it wasn't an issue.

We, too, were able to drive right through without problems. If you plan to see more than Dubrovnik and Split I would definitely rent a car.
