Driving to Dubrovnik

 If you're driving down from Split, note that the road passes through Neum which is part of Bosnian territory. You may be asked for your passport, so keep it handy but if you have legally entered Croatia without a visa you are not expected to have a visa to pass through Neum.

You also do not need a cross-border card for insurance purposes to drive through Neum. The police will not check your insurance papers.

There are plans to construct a bridge from the Croatian mainland to Peljesac peninsula to avoid the need to pass through B-H but completion is a few years away.

Driving to Zagreb is a long haul. Either you backtrack along the coast to Split where you can take the motorway or you drive up through Bosnia-Hercegovina and enter Croatia from the east to take a highway from Osijek to Zagreb. It's quicker and not much more expensive to take a flight from Dubrovnik to Zagreb. See flights to Dubrovnik and my driving distance chart for road distances from Dubrovnik to other Croatian cities.
