First truck driver I asked took me to Zagreb

Car rest spot, might look like there’s little traffic going because there’s no cars parking but people have to pass from the local street to get onto the highway, lots of trucks and there’s a restaurant there in case you get hungry. very little shade though. beware in the summer.

Good spot! Its at the entry of the highway, but there is enough space to stop. Got a ride after 35 minutes with a man who works in Zagreb but lives in Slovenia. He took me straight to Ljubljana :)

Bad spot! Nearly all the cars are croatian and from Zagreb. One car stopped, but they went to maribor and not ljubljana. I changed location after three hours, and got a ride in 40 minutes there.

Pretty good spot. I wanted to go to Zagreb and got a lift by a man and a women who drove there. Many cars stop on the gas station and you can ask them.

Not the ideal but probably the best to go out of Zagreb. I took bus 281 but you can also take bus 276. A car stopped after 20mn but they were going north. Got a ride to Slavonski Brod after an hour. Thank you Šimečka. You will need a big cardboard and you can find some in the trash in the corner of the gas station outside.

Get prepared to get into the car quickly, and if you go to Zadar or Split you should reject cars going towards Rijeka. Police is there, but didn’t bother us

Waited 1 hour halfway to Rijeka but it was like 5 in the morning. I think its a good spot, easily reached by bus.

Arrived there with the bus but it was already late...so we went back and forth from the Ikea exit . Better to talk to people at the gas station what we did and then a guy brought us a little further to another gas station like 20 mins down the road or so

2 guys with backpacks, we tried the hitchhike spot from the guy from 2013 and it still kinda works. High traffic, drivers have nice place to stop, but very very low success rate. Waited 135 minutes until we got a ride to Zagreb. Got 2 signs: "Zagreb" and "highway".

Got there by bus from Zadar from the main bus station. It was bus number 4 but these things change over time. Just get to the main bus station and I strongly believe you will manage.
Long wait but got all the way to Zagreb

A lot of cars leaving the Zagreb. No shade, so direct sun. A local guy took us to another gas station before Kutina.

A lot of traffic of locals. We were trying with the sign on the main road. After 30 minutes we stopped a guy going to IKEA and he took us to the toll gate.

Great stop to hitchhike. There is a toll gate and gas station. Not much traffic. Fontunately, the second car stopped and we went directly to Zagreb.

got lucky with a truck ride straight to budapest, but not sure how great this spot is otherwise. mostly local cars refuelling here but there are many hungarian and slovenian truckers here.

Mostly fully packed family cars going on holidays. We were two men (czech.asian and ukrainian) hitchhiking to Rijeka. The beat way to get a ride was to cold approach drivers stopping at the petrol station. There a lot of traffic tho.

We took a train ride from Graz as we didn’t feel like hitchhiking from the city. There is a plenty of space in surrounding area to camp as well. We got to this petrol station around 10am. There was already a lot of traffic mostly fully packed family cars. We cold approached drivers and got a ride all the way to Zagreb.

croatia joined schengen in 2023 so this border is no longer strictly controlled and cars might be more willing to pick you up. but still, if you can, try get dropped at the service station before this one. we might have been here longer but we got a ride quick enough to zagreb from someone going to bosnia.
