Be careful to drive at Split, and vicinity. Street is narrow and Many people drive fast

AndriyJun 2023

Roads are good quality and well signposted. Driving is easy, but consider a lot of speed cameras, going south direction, towards Makarska and Dubrovnik.

The best way to explore Croatia is undoubtedly by car. The country’s small size and generally well-maintained roads make the country a dream for road tripping tourists. It isn’t just the country that is best explored by car, however; the cities are too. For instance, travelers to Split will find that, with a car, many of the city’s wonderous sites such as the Klis Fortress, Riva Harbor, and Diocletian's Palace are within easy reach.
Is renting a car the first step of your trip to Croatia? For travelers with flights landing at Split Airport, you can find the hire car counters both in the lobby of the airport’s main terminal and just outside of the airport in adjacent buildings.
Worried about rush hour in Split? Well, fortunately for you, the rush hour traffic in Split is by no means as congested and slow as it is in other major cities in the world. Typically, morning rush hour starts at around 7:30 a.m. and finishes up at about 9:30 a.m., while the afternoon rush hour picks up at around 4:30 a.m. and winds down at around 6:30 p.m. One road to avoid during rush hour is Highway A1 as it approaches Split.
Travelers should note that cell phones are strictly forbidden to use while driving. However, hands-free devices are allowed. If you’re using your phone as a GPS, you will be best off having a passenger use the phone rather than risking a fine.
If you are 18 years and been driving for at least one year, you are eligible to book a cheap Split car hire. Many large providers may levy charges on drivers below the age of 25 and on seniors over 65, so ask a few questions before booking your reservation. When you go to collect the vehicle, have your passport, return ticket and a valid driver’s licence to hand and we always recommend carrying an International Driving Permit to be sure. You should know that bank debit cards are not accepted for payment in Croatia, so you’ll need a major credit card to complete the process.
While Split Airport may be the most convenient location to book a vehicle if you’re flying into the city there are other places in the downtown area where you can find loads of providers. For instance, Hertz and Thrifty and a couple other companies have offices at the Port of Split, while FLEET is a local company located at Split Railway Station, which is also accessible from Split Bus Station. For those with accommodations near Diocletian’s Palace or Matejuska Marina, there’s a large cluster of providers including Dollar, Sunnycars and Avantcar in the vicinity for your convenience.
In Split, seat belts are required for all vehicle occupants and child seats are mandatory for kids below the age of 5. Speed limits in the city are listed in km/h instead of mph and some road/street signs may not offer English equivalents, so be attentive while driving a cheap car hire in Split. We recommend obtaining a sat-nav system to help you get around, especially when driving outside the city limits. Much of the historic city centre is restricted to vehicles and you should be mindful of crossing pedestrians and cycle traffic elsewhere around Split.

Mini hire cars in Split are around 47% cheaper than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in Split?
Small to medium-sized vehicles are the most commonly seen cars in Split so, if you would like to fit in, that would be your best bet. However, drivers will find that the roads are fairly large and suited for even the largest hire options, so your choice of car is ultimately your prerogative. Also, streetside parking spaces are fairly large, so large cars will manage fine even when looking for parking downtown.
What’s the speed limit in Split?
Fortunately for drivers in Split, Croatia has four general guidelines for speed limits across the country. They are: 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential areas, 90 km/h (56 mph) outside of towns and cities, 110 km/h (68 mph) on expressways, and 130 km/h (81 mph) on freeways. Additionally, in residential areas, speed limits will occasionally go up to 80 km/h (50 mph) when explicitly posted.
Where are the best places to park in Split?
For the most part, private parking at destinations should suffice in most situations, so drivers shouldn’t have much of an issue parking. This is especially the case at restaurants and hotels. However, if you plan to park and walk to the center of downtown, you will find that parking garages and streetside parallel parking are widely available and easy to find.
How much does it cost to hire a car in Split?
On average a car hire in Split costs £27 per day.

How can I enhance my Split car hire experience?
You can enhance your experience driving a cheap car hire in Split by considering a few options and other policies offered by providers. With a Cross-Border Policy, for example, you can drive across international boundaries to discover exciting destinations in Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, or Serbia. If you’re travelling with friends or family, consider using the additional driver option and share the fun.
What exciting road trips can I take from Split?
Food lovers should definitely consider the road trip from Split to Osijek in the north-east region, which is well-regarded for its traditional sausages and fish dishes among other gastronomic specialities. Osijek also offers a robust calendar of cultural events during the summer months.

The car was new and ran well, but needed windshield wipers. Pick up and drop off were a little challenging with poor signage for the lots.

BreeAnna, Aug 2022

When we arrived, we learned our pre-paid reservation had been cancelled without notice. The friendly woman at the counter fixed it for us, but upon returning the car, the bill was about €60 more than what had been arranged. We have to wait a few weeks for the original payment to be refunded. Annoying to have to spend the extra time figuring out the additional charges and getting refunded.

The girls at pick up were lovely. Only thing is at drop off the guy was new and could not answer any of our questions and even kept asking us what we should do next. (For example do we have to go to the front desk or can we leave since he inspected the car and we gave him the keys)

We picked this up on 10/6 in the late evening with the sole purpose of a day trip on the 10/7th. On the 7th we started having issues with the car and it gave us an engine malfunction error code within 5 minutes of driving. We were unable to restart the car for some period and eventually made it back to the enterprise location. We ended up having to cancel our day trip and had to eat the tickets for multiple locations that day due to this car malfunction, not to mention that this day trip was the sole reason of visiting Croatia. By the time we had made it to enterprise and they had opened in the morning, it was too late to make it to our scheduled events of the day.

I have returned the car on tine without any damage ( I took photos) . I returned the car very early in the morning before they were open because of my flight schedule. I am afraid how long it would take to get the deposit back . Help !

We reserved and payed the car 3 days in front. Because of the delay of our flight they just gave the car to someone else and offered us for more then double the prize another car. What a scam! We took our car from another car rental for the same prize we had booked. Now I have to loose time and effort to get my money back…
