KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Split
- 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.

Our Skoda diesel sedan got terrific fuel mileage, over 50mpg! We found the seats to be less comfortable than desired on our multiple 2.5 hour daily jaunts. Other than that, wonderful car and great experience from Avis.2,0 Poor

Pros:
I was pleased that we could pick-up & drop-off in different cities without paying a large fee. Also, we appreciated not being required to use the locations at the airport, which was more convenient for us.Cons:
The car was provided with only 3/8 of a tank of fuel, which required us to fill it very shortly after pick-up. Also, the car provided was much larger than anticipated (a crossover as opposed to intermediate size), which made driving on narrow mountain roads a bit more difficult.6,8 Okay
Sep 2019
Cons:
There is no dedicated drop off lot in Split (city location). You have to pay to park the car at the bus station and walk a few blocks to the rental office. No one mentioned this when we picked up the car and requested a drop of at the city location.10,0 Wonderful

Car was dirty at pick-up, plus you were waiting at a street corner for your car with all the car rentals, mass confusion. The car only had just over 1/2 the tank with gas ... had to guess how much gas to return the car with.One location in Split

Pros:
Overall customer service was very good. I was prepared for the 'hard sell' for additional insurance which I had decided beforehand not to proceed with and stuck to my decision, which was ok. The car was very good, which I was happy about. It's important to familiarise yourself with the terms and conditions, specially credit card and fuel policies, otherwise you may find yourself in difficulties. Despite some other negative reviews I was happy with the rental.Cons:
Had to inspect the car in the dark due to arrival time and a poorly lit area. However, they agreed to acknowledge that on the paperwork I had to sign.One location in Split
