Compare on Discover Cars too →Car hire in Split, Croatia runs from a Volkswagen Polo for the old-town approaches to an estate for a week of island ferries. Most offers include basic cover, and booking stays simple: you normally need a passport or ID, a driving licence, a phone number and a payment card. Croatia has used the euro since 2023, so the price you compare is the price you pay.
Split, Dubrovnik, Zadar and Zagreb all hand cars over either at a desk in the terminal or at an off-airport office reached by shuttle. Which one applies to your booking is written on the voucher, and the shuttle is usually what explains a lower price.
Split airport is in Kastela rather than Split itself and Dubrovnik's is at Cilipi, twenty kilometres from the old town, so the airport is the practical pickup point for the whole coast either way.
Bring your passport or national ID and a valid driving licence. EU, EEA and UK licences are accepted directly; a licence written in another alphabet should be carried together with an International Driving Permit.
The minimum age is usually 21 with at least one to two years of licence held. Drivers under 25 normally pay a young-driver surcharge, and the premium and minivan classes often set the threshold at 25 or higher.
A deposit is standard and is blocked on the main driver's credit card at handover. Some Croatian suppliers accept a debit card or sell a zero-excess tariff without a hold, but that is an offer-level rule rather than a national one.
Two things are worth settling before you book: whether the tariff allows a car ferry to the islands, and whether it allows the crossing into Bosnia at Neum on the way south. Both need the supplier's written consent.
The catalog covers the main rental categories:
Croatian fleets are built mostly around Volkswagen Polo and Golf, Skoda Fabia, Opel Corsa, Renault Clio, Dacia Sandero and Toyota Yaris and similar models, and a manual gearbox is still the cheaper default — confirm the transmission on the offer card if you need an automatic.
Compare the total price together with the deposit, insurance excess, mileage policy, fuel rule, ferry and border permission, accepted payment methods and the return conditions.
Have your passport, licence, voucher and the main driver's card for the deposit ready before you reach the desk, and photograph the bodywork, glass and wheels during the joint inspection.
If the plan includes an island or the road south past Neum, confirm the ferry and border permission at the desk rather than at the ramp.
A minivan carries six to nine people with luggage in one car, which is the usual answer for a family arriving together at Split or Zadar.
Remember the ferry ticket is priced by length and the old-town garages have a height limit; check both before booking the largest option.
Practical points on traffic, documents, payment, insurance, motorway tolls, island ferries, parking and vehicle return.
Croatia drives on the right. The walled old towns are closed to traffic entirely; park in the signposted garage outside the gate and walk in, because the nearest kerbside space is usually a fine. The A1 and the other motorways are tolled at barriers, paid by card, cash or an ENC tag on the windscreen.
The handover point and any out-of-hours fee are set by the supplier.
Croatia has used the euro (EUR) since January 2023; the kuna is no longer in circulation.
The booking currency may differ, while the deposit, fuel, parking, motorway tolls, ferry tickets and any fines are normally settled in euro under the supplier's terms.
