Wife and I got back from Croatia recently and Verizon and AT&T both put us on our standard U.S. plan for $10 a day. Then we just used our phones for everything, far better than any aftermarket or built in GPS (and they threw in their GPS for free). |

We did a spreadsheet on cost for buses, trains, and cars. Trains and cars cost almost the same so we're thinking car is the best option.

Thanks for confirming. I was thinking the same. Would have stopped by today but there's no VW dealer at the nearest Auto Mall (surprisingly). Will stop by tomorrow when I pick up my car from BMW service.
As for data, we have TMOBILE and it offers free, unlimited 4G data in all the countries we'll be in. Planning on using our phones for navigation and such. Only thing that'll cost $ are calls, but we will use Viber or FT or WhatsApp if needed.
