The journey from London to Croatia by Flixbus

The connection to Croatia is an indirect route and requires change in Frankfurt or Vienna.
Transport from London to Zagreb, Rijeka, Zadar and Split is carried out with traditional Flixbus’ vehicles. All Flixbus’ coaches have on-board toilet and washroom facilities, 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 Flixbus 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.
Flixbus put the safety and comfort of passengers first, so the vehicles are equipped with a large number of safeguards. The operators use modern vehicles with large panoramic windows and increased legroom.

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 Flixbus 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.
