Airport Car Rental
Get your rental car at Split Airport! Then drive into Split and visit Diocletian’s Palace, St. Duje’s Cathedral, the Temple of Jupiter, and the unique Varoš neighborhood to explore the city’s rich history. Drive your rental to the Hermitage Caves of St. Jeronimus and be sure to check out the view of neighboring islands while you’re there.
The public beaches in Split—the most famous is Bačvice—are truly beautiful. You can relax and work on your tan or try out water sports like kayaking and snorkeling. Visit the Green Bazar market for local fruits and vegetables and go to an authentic Croatian restaurant to sample delicacies like pašticada s njokama and soparnik and a variety of hams and cheeses.
Split is a great place to visit, but Croatia has even more to offer, so why not get a longer term car rental? You can check out smaller and equally charming beach towns like Dubrovnik and Zadar, or take a ferry to one of the islands. This is also a great opportunity to explore Croatia’s neighboring countries—Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia. You can even pick up your car at Split Airport and drop it off in a different city. Start planning your adventure now!
Split Airport is also known as Resnik Airport and Zračna luka Split.

Ideal place to start a tour of Croatia from. Easy access to main highway and many of places of interest within reasonable driving distance (Dalmation Coast, Kornati, Pitivice Lakes, numerous islands with ferry links etc). Been there many times and find Croatia is a delightful place to visit.

The airport has recently been updated and the rental car booths are well located. Only criticism would be that the drop off locations aren't marked clearly enough, although it is the same place as you collect from.

In retrospect, would have been better with a smaller car as streets in central split are narrow and a lot are dead ends. Parking is restricted so need small car for ease of parking. Phone navigation is essential for finding places in Split. But a beautiful place and well worth a visit.
Trogir us also worth a visit. Easy to get to by car and park.

The team I met were courteous and friendly, and gave me all the information necessary, at the moment it is a good walk to pick up the car but that is changing in the future. I would definitely recommend this car hire company
