Car Rental in Zadar Port

Zadar Port is the entry point for ferries from the surrounding islands in Kvarner and northern Dalmatia, and one rental company is available right at the dock. It's a perfect place to pick up a car after a ferry trip from Ugljan, Dugi Otok, or Ancona in Italy. The port is just 1 km from Zadar's old town and the sea organ installation.

From the port area it's 1 km to Zadar's old town and Forum Romanum (about a 10-minute walk). Airport ZAD is 9 km east (about 12 minutes by car), making the port a convenient link in a combined flight-and-ferry journey. Ferries from Ancona often arrive early in the morning - check the rental company's opening hours in advance.

Park at the port's parking areas and pick up the car before unloading baggage from the ferry. Book your car at least 2 weeks in advance during high season as capacity is limited with only one rental company. What ferry lines serve Zadar Port?

Jadrolinija operates lines to Ugljan, Dugi Otok, and other islands, as well as Jadroagent offers lines to Ancona in Italy. How close is the car rental depot to the ferry terminal? The rental company is in direct connection to the port area, about 200-300 meters from the ferry dock.

Can I take the rental car on the ferry to the islands? Most rental companies do not allow cars to be taken on ferries. Check the terms when booking if you plan to take the car to an island.
