• Two border crossings only for foreigners: Neum 1 (Klek) in the north-west and Neum 2 (Zaton Doli) in the south-east. The Imotica crossing is for locals and tourists are usually turned back.
• Ask to be swiped into the system when you enter if you plan to stay, and swiped out when you leave, so your 90-day allowance is clear.
• Renting a car in Croatia to cross into BiH usually triggers an extra cross-border charge for every day of the rental.
• Your motor insurance must cover BiH; there are no facilities at the Neum borders to buy supplementary cover.
• Mobile phones may latch onto a BiH network instead of Croatian; check before using data.
• Some seafront restaurants add charges — ask the total before you sit.
