Why Rent with Our Split Partner in Dubrovnik?

Our partner is based in Split and brings your car down the coast to Dubrovnik, at the airport or in town. A delivery fee may apply (for longer rentals often none), and the exact amount is always in your offer before you book. Conditions are the same as in Split: no credit card, no deposit on the partner's own cars and full insurance with nothing to pay for damage. Dubrovnik is also a great start for a one-way road trip: drive north over the Pelješac Bridge, stop in Ston and Makarska, and return the car in Split.

Local Driving Guide

Everything you need to know before you set off.

Parking in Dubrovnik

The Old Town is car-free and the streets around it are a camera-controlled zone. Park at the public garage at Ilijina Glavica, a 10–15 minute walk from Pile Gate; street spots by the walls are the most expensive.

Fuel Stations

Plentiful in town and along the motorway; self-service is standard and cash or card both work.

Toll Roads

Motorways are tolled. Until early 2027 you pay at the booths; then Croatia switches to an electronic, barrier-free system – ask the partner how it works for your dates.

Traffic Tips

The coast road into town is slow in summer, especially on cruise-ship days – drive in early or late in the day.

Speed Limits

50 km/h in towns, 90 km/h on open roads, 110 km/h on expressways and 130 km/h on motorways, unless signs say otherwise.

Electric Charging

Fewer fast chargers in the far south – charge up before the drive to Split or Montenegro.

Frequently Asked Questions

A delivery fee may apply, because the car comes from Split; for longer rentals there is often none. The exact amount is always stated in your offer before you book.
Yes. The partner brings the car to Dubrovnik Airport (Čilipi), and the meeting point is agreed with you on WhatsApp. Include your flight number and arrival time in the request.
Yes. One-way rentals are possible, and Dubrovnik to Split is one of the most requested routes. A fee may apply, and the exact amount is always in your offer.
Not necessarily. Since the Pelješac Bridge opened in 2022, you can drive from Dubrovnik to Split without leaving Croatia. The older coastal road crosses a short stretch of Bosnia and Herzegovina at Neum.
Yes. Cross-border trips are possible, so Kotor or Mostar are fine. A cross-border fee applies and is stated in your offer, so mention the countries in your request.
No, never. Cash or a debit card is enough for every car. Read our guide to renting without a credit card.
No. Our partner doesn't take a deposit on its own cars. Only if they are fully booked and arrange a car from another local company can a deposit apply, and you are always told before you book.
Yes, full insurance is included on every car. If the car gets damaged, you don't pay anything.
