Airport Split: Best way to hire a car

As Split Airport (SPU) is only about 25 kilometres from the city centre, it is worth considering one of the many hireal car offers right there. That way you won`t depend on public transportation and you can drive to your hotel by yourself. If you arrive in Split by other means, there are also plenty of other hireal car stations around the city. On Driveboo you can compare the prices of the hireal cars and book you favourite one online in advance.

Is there a toll in Croatia?

If you want to drive on the motorway, a toll will be charged. The amount of the toll depends on the kilometres covered. Below the procedure is explained:

• A toll coupon is drawn when driving onto the motorway
• When leaving the motorway, the distance travelled is charged
• Credit card payment is possible
• Cash payment in Kuna, Euro and foreign currency is possible
• You will always get Kuna as change
• The lane at the motorway exit determines the payment process: credit card payment on the left, cash payment on the right
• 100 km of toll road costs about 8 euros

In Croatia there is no vignette required due to the motorway toll regulation. However, if you want to go on a road trip by hireal car beyond the national borders, you should note that both in Slovenia and in Austria there is a vignette requirement.

Where can I park my hireal car free of charge in Split?

Parking your car in the center of Split will be problematic especially during the high season. Due to the prevailing traffic chaos, we recommend parking the hireal car outside the center. In Zvonac, which can be reached through the Marjan tunnel in just two minutes, you will find a large free Car park. Parking is also possible in the streets around the center. During working days you can park your hireal car in those streets for 5 Kuna per hour (Monday - Friday: 7-19, Saturday: 7-14). There are also numerous car parks available for 15 euros per day.

How can I include an additional driver

The beauty of Dalmatia and Croatia is best enjoyed together. Most car hire companies offer the option of registering an additional driver.  That way not only your passenger but also you can enjoy the breathtaking landscape if you take turns in driving. The car hires usually only take a small fee per hireed day for this option. In order to find offers that already include an additional driver free of charge you should compare them in advance.
