Health insurance in Croatia
If you are moving to Croatia, you must obtain health insurance. This can be done via the state health provider, HZZO. The process is not complicated and is the next
Holders of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) are covered in Croatia. They must simply present the card to the hospital or clinic they are visiting. If you do not already have one, you can download your EHIC here.
The Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has its own advice on health insurance for visitors.
Looking for travel insurance for Croatia?
Some travellers do, and some travellers don’t. Whether or not you buy travel insurance for Croatia may largely depend on where you are from. EHIC card holders are covered, but citizens from most non-EU companies are not.
There are many travel insurance companies out there, but here are the best from 2018.
Where to get your Croatian car insured
Lots of foreigners living in Croatia or having a holiday home here would like to have their foreign car in Croatia. While technically, you can insure the car via Croatian insurance (I have done it), in practice, this does not work as a long-term solution.

It is much simpler to import your car to Croatia. A step by step guide on the car importing process.
The Croatian insurance market is pretty competitive, and you can find a list of providers below. Annual insurance can be paid monthly.
Home contents insurance for Croatia
A lot of foreign property owners want to insure their holiday homes. While there are Croatian options on the market, it is more cost-effective to insure through foreign companies in my experience. One company with a lot of experience in the Croatian home contents insurance market is Devon Direct.
