Routes to city centres, rounded up to the next five minutes. These estimates exclude live traffic, stops and collection time. Checked 23 September 2026.
The agreed return point may be outside the city centre. Its address and the return time come from the rental company. Fuel, parking and toll charges are the renter’s responsibility.
What are the booking arrangements?
The search uses Split as the pickup area and the chosen destination as the return city. The resulting offers carry their own delivery and return charges. The final pickup point is selected with the car.
The airport collection arrangement is confirmed by the rental company. Its contact details, pickup instructions and return details are included with the booking.
An advance of 15–20% is paid when booking. The remaining rental cost is paid at collection. The vehicle deposit and insurance conditions belong to the individual car and can differ between offers for the same journey.
Driver age, driving experience and card requirements also depend on the car. An original valid driving licence is required, and the accepted payment method is stated during booking and in the voucher.
The final handover.
The rental company confirms the return place and time. Changes to those arrangements go directly to the company named in the booking confirmation. An extension requires advance notice.
The car returns with the same fuel level as at collection. A lower level is charged at the rental company’s rates; extra fuel is not reimbursed. If dirt prevents inspection, cleaning is charged to the renter.
One-way return permission is separate from permission for a ferry or travel outside Croatia. Ferry travel requires prior arrangement before booking, and cross-border travel requires the rental company’s agreement for the chosen car and journey.
