We assist foreigners with all their needs while living in, moving to or doing business in Croatia.
Rent a Local offers consultation services which can save you days of research and give you specific information about bureaucratic issues regarding the residency permit for digital nomads and others, as well as healthcare, citizenship, buying property or opening up a business in Croatia.

Apart from consultation services, you can hire your local assistant to help you with any task you need on-field assistance with (e.g. accompany you to the MUP station, supervise construction work and provide follow-ups on the progress, or arrange a pick-up vehicle for you at the airport).

We needed assistance with stacks of legal documents/notarization/apostille.  Andejla, Maya and the team were invaluable in helping us navigate the system in Croatia.  We had a tight deadline and they helped us to meet that with ease, professionalism, and good humor.. Top marks: excellent service and beautiful people.

I feel lucky to have stumbled upon an ad for this company when I first arrived in Croatia. They were very helpful when I needed translations while finding an apartment and putting together my application for residency. The services are professional, polite and affordable. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom-made packages?

Custom-made packages are designed according to your needs, as we understand that every client has different needs. Custom-made packages include 10+ working hours to perform a service or number of services. For example, if you're looking for assistance in finding housing, we can put together a Housing package for you that would include: property search, contacting landlords, assistance with signing the rental agreement and assistance/translation when filing your official new address in a local police station.

How does payment work when I hire a local assistant?

Before your local assistant starts performing his/her work, you’re expected to sign a contract with Rent A Local that protects both side’s privacy. Once the contract is signed, you can choose between two online payment methods: a transfer via Revolut or Wise (this can be paid in euros or dollars), or a payment through foreign currency bank account (in local currency - Croatian kuna).

Where are Rent A Local services available?

Rent A Local services are available all over Croatia, no matter where you are: on the Adriatic coast, or in the continental part of Croatia. Local freelancers are located in major cities, as well as on islands and less populated areas. We will connect you with a local freelancer who seems to be the best fit according to your needs and requirements.

Do you offer transportation services (from the airport to my accomodation)?

We offer transportation to and from the airport, as well as any other type of transportation (if you’re moving from one flat to another or if you need a ride to National Park Plitvice - we got you covered). To book a ride, or for more information, send us an email to info@rentalocal.eu or give us a call +385 91 899 2458. We’re available on Viber and WhatsApp.

Are prices fixed or can I get a discount?

Our prices are fixed, but if you happen to be in need of several services, we will be able to put together a customized package for you. By booking a customized package of our services that require at least 10 hours of local assistance, you will be able to get a discount. If you’re booking just 1 hour of consultations you will not be able to get a discount.

Can you help me with submitting documents at a local police station?

Rent A Local assistants can help you submit or collect documents at a local police station (MUP). This way you don’t have to struggle with language barriers and our assistants are familiar with the procedures of stay permit application and other MUP-related issues.
