Car Rental in Split Center

Downtown Split is Dalmatia's car rental hub with all 17 rental companies gathered in and around Diocletian's Palace and the harbor area. Here you have all the possibilities of the Adriatic Coast within reach – from the Makarska Riviera (60 km south) to Krka National Park (80 km north). A perfect starting point for a road trip along Dalmatia's coast.

Split's old town is a living UNESCO World Heritage Site with 1,700 years of history. With a rental car you can reach Trogir in 27 km, Omiš Canyon in 25 km, and Mostar in Bosnia in approximately 130 km – all popular day trips from Split. Avoid driving into the old town center – park at Gripe parking 1 km east of downtown.

Book a rental car at least 2 weeks in advance during July–August. Drive through the Cetina Valley toward Sinj (30 km) to escape the coast's tourist traffic. Where are most car rental offices located in downtown Split?

Most offices are located along Domovinskog rata and at the waterfront, within 500 meters of Diocletian's Palace. How long does it take to drive from downtown Split to Dubrovnik? It's approximately 230 km and takes about 3–3.5 hours via the coastal road D8, longer during high summer traffic.

Can I take the rental car on the ferry to Brač or Hvar? Yes, car ferries to Brač (Supetar) and Hvar (Stari Grad) depart from Split's ferry terminal. Confirm that your rental company allows ferry transport.

We compare prices from all major providers at Split Center so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
