Top tips for renting a car in Dubrovnik
- Renters of cheap car rentals in Dubrovnik who wish to enjoy scenic drives on the D8 motorway should keep a couple of things in mind. First, a large section of the D8 is a single carriageway road. The ascending side of a part of the road bears a double lane while the other three lanes remain single carriageways. The road also has a lot of winding and cuts across several villages. In some places, it skirts along the edges of high cliffs. As such, always keep to the speed limits for the safety of all road users. Lastly, the high numbers of motorcyclists make the road even more dangerous so drive carefully.
- Make your travel in Dubrovnik stress-free by abiding by traffic and driving laws. Don’t operate cheap car rentals in Dubrovnik while intoxicated. Any driver younger than 25 years should have a BAC of 0% to operate the vehicle. Drivers above 25 must not exceed the BAC limit of 0.05%. All vehicles, including school buses and public transportation, can legally have right of way when entering a traffic circle. During winter, which lasts from November to march, 4×4 vehicles are the most suitable Dubrovnik car rentals. They provide a firm grip on the snowy and slippery terrain. Winter tires are also mandatory for all vehicles during the winter.
- Driving from Dubrovnik Airport to downtown takes about 25 minutes. Head northwest after exiting the airport, turn left, and drive towards D8. Turn right to join the D8 motorway and after about seven miles, keep left on the road for about five miles. Take the exit heading to Dubrovnik Centar and continue onto Ul. Pera Bakica. Join Ul Vladimira Nazora and then turn right after a few meters.
- Explore the scenic coastline, the countryside of Croatia or the many attractions like the Dubrovnik Cathedral, which offers a view of the iconic rooftops of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Which better way to see all of this and more than with the convenience and flexibility of your own rental car?
- Dubrovnik Airport is over 12 miles from the city center, so pick up a car upon your arrival to start your time in Dubrovnik hassle-free. There is a car rental center at the airport that includes agencies like Sixt or Europcar that offer vehicles in all shapes and sizes. Signs indicate the way out of the airport and the scenic D8 is the fastest road to Dubrovnik center, running alongside the coast and offering spectacular views during the ride.
- Driving in Dubrovnik bears the usual challenges that come with most cities. Parking spots are rare and there are many one-way roads, making navigating a tad more difficult. Rent a satnav with your rental car to make maneuvering through the streets much easier. Driving in the Old Town is not permitted except for residents and emergency vehicles, so steer clear of that area. It is generally best to park the car in the outskirts of the city and walk inside or take the bus, as Dubrovnik is better explored on foot.
- In the whole of Croatia, it is required to leave the headlights on day and night. It is also strictly forbidden to turn right at an intersection when the light is red, and there can be severe fines for talking on the phone while driving. At intersections without traffic lights, right of way belongs to the car coming from the right, except when there is a “yield” sign (an upside down triangle) for the right side street.

If you want to spend an hour and a half at a Hertz, this is the place for you. Staff was late to open the office and everyone was gone when we tried to return the car. They said it would take 10-15 minutes because they were “at the car wash”, but it was 25 minutes later before all 3 employees came back.7.9 Good

Pros:
We booked a car with Avis in Dubrovnik 2 days before the day we were starting our trip. But when we got there, there were no car waiting for us. Then they told that they had a partner company (MACK) and we could rent a car with them and return to Avis in Venice ( our last city). I asked specifically to return the car in Mestre-Venice, where I booked my hotel. But when I arrived in Mestre, the mananger just said yhat it was not a car from Avis and "that is not his problem". That I should call Dubrovnik to answer my problem. Finally after more discussion, he said me to go to Avis in airport and they could help me. He was very impolite and not even tried to help me. I'm sure I will never use Avis again.Cons:
As told before6.0 Okay
Sep 2017
Pros:
the cars were clean and the queues at the counters reasonableCons:
the first car was a Peugeot 208 with automatic gearbox, which clutch was quite out of order (impossible to climb !) ; then I had a tire puncture and the spare wheel was also flat ! The different numbers of the Avis agency in Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar) didn't answer, even it it was in the week and in the middle of the afternoon, so I was obliged to call the roadside assistancve to my expenses (including a new tire), on cash. After that I changed the car in Split but to a smaller one (smart for4) but at the same price (!) I received the assurance from Avis that my additional expenses (due to the puncture) will be decreased from my final bill, but when I gave back the car (in Zadar) that was impossible, but they told me that I will anyway receive the reimbursement in the next days. Wait and see8.0 Very good
