About Renting a Car at Dubrovnik Bus Station
Dubrovnik's bus station is located in the Gruž district, just under 3 km from the old town's Pile Gate, and here you'll find a rental company for those arriving by bus from Split, Sarajevo, or Kotor. Picking up a car directly at the bus station saves time and makes it easy to continue exploring the region. The bus station is well-connected and centrally located near the ferry terminal.
Gruž is Dubrovnik's vibrant harbor district with ferry traffic to the islands of Hvar, Korčula, and Mljet. From the bus station, it's a 5-minute walk to the ferry pier. Local markets and restaurants along Gruška Avenue offer an authentic Croatian atmosphere without the tourist prices of the old town.
Park your car in Gruž and take local buses 1A or 1B to the old town to avoid parking hassles. Check if the rental company offers supplements for a ferry to Korčula if you're planning to take the car with you. Arriving early in the morning gives you the best access to available cars.
Is there parking near the bus station in Dubrovnik? Yes, there's a parking garage in Gruž right next to the bus station. How do I get from the bus station to the old town?
Local buses 1A and 1B run from Gruž to the Pile Gate in about 10 minutes and cost around 2 euros. Can I rent a car and take it on the ferry to Korčula? Yes, but you must check with the rental company that it's permitted and possibly pay a car ferry supplement.
