Split is where most of Dalmatia picks up its rental car, and for good reason: the fleet here is the deepest on the coast, the A1 motorway starts twenty minutes from the Riva, and the Jadrolinija ferries put Brac and Hvar an hour from your bumper. The suppliers we compare are local firms; most will meet you at your apartment, the port, or straight at arrivals, where Split Airport car rental skips the counter entirely.
A word of local honesty: do not plan to drive into the old town. Everything inside the palace walls is pedestrian, and the garages on the rim fill by mid-morning in July and August. Collect the car when you leave town, not the day you arrive; a day sooner just buys you parking fees.
Heading down the coast? The D8 south through Omis is one of the best driving hours in Croatia, and there are riviera pickups in Makarska if you would rather start from the beaches. Going the other way, you can rent a car in Trogir, 25 minutes west, handy if your accommodation is on Ciovo.
If your trip ends south, you can drop the car in Dubrovnik instead of driving back; plenty of the suppliers here allow it for a fixed fee that shows before you book. And the Split to Dubrovnik coast drive is worth planning properly: fuel stops, timing, and the swimming coves the buses skip.
Before you book
If you land at Split Airport and head straight down the coast, take the car at arrivals. If you are staying in Split first, book a city handover for the day you leave; the old town is pedestrian and the garages are expensive babysitting for a parked car.
Yes. Jadrolinija car ferries from Split port take rental cars and the suppliers here do not restrict island driving. In July and August buy the ferry ticket in advance; car deck space sells out before foot passenger space does.
Use the garages on the old-town rim (Sukoisanska side) or your accommodation's spot, and arrive before mid-morning in peak season. Street spots near the Riva are scarce and enforcement is quick.
Many Split suppliers allow one-way rentals within Croatia for a fixed fee that shows on the listing before you pay. Split to Dubrovnik and Split to Zagreb are the two most common routes.
The A1 starts about twenty minutes from the Riva and is tolled, so you take a ticket at the entry booth and pay by card or cash where you exit; there is no national road vignette in Croatia. The coastal roads through Omis and Makarska are toll-free if you would rather drive the scenic way.
Usually yes, with advance notice so the supplier can prepare the cross-border letter and Green Card you need at the frontier. Tell us the countries when you book, as some suppliers restrict certain destinations, and allow a little extra time at the crossings in peak season.
