Which car rental company should I book with at Split Airport?

We focus on quality, not quantity. At Split Airport, we partner with hand-picked national and local trusted companies. Most car rental desks are located in a dedicated car rental building just a short walk from the Arrivals Hall exit—simply follow the "Rent a Car" signs. We actively monitor service levels at SPU to ensure a stress-free experience. If a provider's standards drop, we remove them from our site.

Book with Zest Car Rental at Split Airport

We take a fresh, honest approach to car hire. Our booking process is simple: clear pricing, no hidden costs, and no small print to sweat over. We want you to relax and look forward to exploring the ancient history and stunning islands of central Dalmatia.

Unlock the real Dalmatia

Split Airport is the perfect starting point for discovering the heart of the Croatian coast. With a rental car, you can reach the medieval island town of Trogir in just 10 minutes. For a day of natural beauty, drive an hour north to Krka National Park to walk the boardwalks through spectacular waterfalls. If you continue up the coast, the historic city of Šibenik offers incredible stone architecture and coastal views, all easily accessible via the primary road network.

Our Fleet at Split Airport

At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Split Airport to suit every journey. Whether you need a compact car for navigating the city, a spacious SUV for a family adventure, or a premium vehicle for a coastal drive, we have the perfect fit for you. All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.

One Way Rentals from Split Airport

Pick up your car at Split Airport and drop it off in Dubrovnik, Zadar, or Zagreb. One-way rentals are a popular way to experience the beauty of the Dalmatian coast without having to double back, giving you more flexibility for your itinerary.

Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.

Driver Age Requirements in Split

Can I rent a car in Split if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically vary by provider.

Can I rent a car in Split if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Croatia. While some providers may have upper age limits for certain models, most standard rentals have no additional fees or restrictions.

What is the best time of year to explore Split by car?

The shoulder seasons of Autumn (September to October) and Spring (May to June) offer pleasant weather and quieter roads compared to the height of summer. Summer is ideal for island-hopping and beach weather, while winter offers a peaceful, more local experience along the coast.

Essential Tips for Driving in Croatia

Croatia uses a distance-based motorway toll system. You will typically collect a ticket at the entry barrier and pay at the exit booth using cash (Euros) or a credit card. Pay close attention to lane signage at toll plazas, as some lanes are reserved for electronic payment (ENC) users only. Daytime running lights or dipped headlights are legally required during the winter period (typically 1 November to 31 March). While rare along the Adriatic coast, winter equipment may be required in inland Croatia during winter conditions. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
