Top tips for renting a car in Split
- One thing that is important for drivers of car rentals in Split to know about before heading out on a drive are the seatbelt laws that exist within Croatia. Every passenger in a vehicle needs to be wearing a seatbelt when the vehicle is in operation. Children that are less than 12 years old or for any passenger that is less than 4'9" tall cannot ride in the front seat of the vehicle. Any child that is five years old or younger needs to be traveling in an approved car seat while the vehicle is operational.
- An important thing to remember for those travelers that love using their mobile devices is that there are specific rules you need to know about in Croatia regarding using a mobile device while driving Split car rentals. You may not use your phone while you are driving to text, email, browse the internet, or browse social media while you are driving a car. You can use your mobile device for doing things such as receiving and making phone calls or using the phone's built-in GPS but only when you do this in a hands-free manner.
- Beyond all of the architectural beauty and stunning scenery visitors to split will find, there are also plenty of annual events that occur in the city that make a great reason to get behind the wheel of car rentals in Split. One of the most popular annual events here is the Split Summer Festival that has been going on since the 1950s. This is a month-long celebration that features all types of arts including music, dance, and street theater performances. If you head to Split in late June, you can catch the Split Pop Music Festival, and in the last week of April, you can listen to all of the musical acts at the Split Guitar Festival.
- 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 rental 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.

Sep 2019
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
