Train tickets between Zagreb and Budapest

The train or bus(es) are your best 2 options by far. Have a look at:

www.bahn.de

for your train timetables. Quite a few different options available. I've done the train between Budapest & Zagreb & back again several times. It's not an express, facilities on board were basic, but it didn't take forever.
Forget the car rental, you'll get stung for the 1way drop-off charge.
Flight.. I'll leave that to someone who's done it. I haven't.
My train left about 2pm, I was in Zagreb late evening, I think about 10.
You don't state where in Croatia you will be, so it's not ideal to mention too many routes, but I assume you are aware there is no train service in or out if Dubrovnik, although bus services are goid..
Happy travels.

Thanks so much for your informative reply. I apprciate it. Great. I will browse the link and see what times will suit us best. After some research i saw that the railway lines terminate from Zagreb at Split, but im sure we will be happy with the bus or boat cruises to Dubrovnik.
We want to spend most of our time in Dubrovnik and Split and perhaps Zadar as well and only pass through Zagreb on our way to Budapest.
What would you recommend in terms of days spend in each city if we are there for a two week holiday? The two weeks should include the weekend in Budapest. Is there something else we should include as well in our travels?
Thanks :)

Awesome thanks fo the info!
I will have a look at the train options for Split-Budapest and Zagreb-Budapest. The price is great, i was expecting it to be more.
Do you think its a good idea to fit in a 2 or 3 days in Budapest in a 2 week croatia holiday? Or are there other options like going over to Slovenia or Bosnia thats closer and still exciting?
