Split car rental — FAQ

Booking 4-6 weeks before your trip to Split usually gives you the best choice of vehicles and prices, especially in summer and around holidays. For July-August and major events, consider reserving even earlier. Last-minute bookings are possible, but popular classes and automatic cars often sell out or become significantly more expensive.
After you return the car in good condition, the provider typically releases the security deposit within 7-14 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer. Some banks may take a little longer to show the reversal. To avoid a deposit being held at all, look for no-deposit / no-credit-card deals when comparing offers.
The excess (deductible) is the maximum amount you pay if the rental car is damaged or stolen. In Croatia it is commonly between EUR 600 and 1,500, depending on vehicle class. If repair costs are lower, you pay only that smaller amount. You can often reduce or even eliminate this liability by purchasing extra coverage.
Most rental desks in Split require a major credit card in the main driver’s name for the deposit. However, some local partners accept debit cards or cash with extra conditions. To avoid card-based holds and simplify pick-up, filter for no-deposit / no-credit-card deals when searching on our platform.
Prices vary by season, but a small car in Split typically costs around 30-45 EUR per day (roughly 225-340 HRK) in spring and autumn. During the high summer season, daily rates often rise to 60-90 EUR (about 450-680 HRK) or more, especially for automatics, SUVs or bookings made at the last minute.
At Split Airport (SPU) you will find major international and local brands, including Enterprise, Sixt, Hertz, Alamo, Nova, M.A.C.K., LAST MINUTE, AutoUnion, Avant Car. Their desks are located in or near the arrivals area, with rental parking just a short walk from the terminal building.
Bookingcar lets you compare many local and international suppliers in Split in one place, so you can quickly see real-time prices, fuel rules and mileage limits. Transparent conditions, verified reviews and clear insurance options help you avoid surprises. You can also filter by supplier rating, transmission type and special offers to match your needs.
If you return the car late, most companies in Split charge an additional fee, often calculated per extra hour and then as an extra rental day after a grace period. The rate may be higher than your original tariff. If you foresee a delay, contact the rental operator as soon as possible to adjust your contract and limit extra charges.
Central options include the large public car park at Split Harbor near the ferry port, the parking at Zeljeznicka stanica (train station), and the multi-storey garage at Koteks. In the Old Town area, look for city zones marked with pay-and-display machines. Always check signs for time limits, tariffs and resident-only restrictions.
Many rental companies in Croatia allow cross-border travel to neighboring countries such as Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina or Montenegro, but you must declare this when booking. A written authorization and extra fee or insurance may be required. Some destinations and ferries have restrictions, so always confirm permitted routes in your rental conditions.
Standard limits for passenger cars (unless signed otherwise):
  • Built-up areas: 50 km/h
  • Outside built-up areas: 90 km/h
  • Expressways (brza cesta): 110 km/h
  • Motorways (autocesta): 130 km/h
Always follow posted signs, as limits may be lower near schools, construction zones, tunnels, or in bad weather. Police regularly use cameras and mobile radar, especially on busy coastal and motorway routes.
