Collect your Avis car hire at Split Airport, where a team of professionals will be on hand to assist you.

From the traditional and contemporary attractions of the city centre to the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, the best of Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast is just a short drive away.

We make car rental easy, because we know you can’t wait to feel the freedom of the road and get the very most out of your stay. Wherever your travels take you, the keys are waiting for you to unlock the world.

In just a 30-minute drive from the airport, you’ll arrive in the centre of Croatia’s second largest city, Split, which offers the perfect balance of tradition and modernity.

Explore Vukovarska Street and revel in the world-class shopping malls, or visit the Roman ruins of Diocletian’s Palace - a Unesco World Heritage Site - where you can discover the ancient Dalmatian way of life.

A short drive away you’ll find the old-world neighbourhoods of Varos, Dobri, Lucac and Manus, which started developing around the city walls in the 16th century.

For pristine sands and stellar views over the Adriatic Sea, head to Bačvice, Split’s most popular beach. This Blue Flag-awarded stretch of coastline is regarded as one of the cleanest and best kept in Europe. It’s brought to life with the unique sights and sounds of people playing ‘picigin’, an energetic game that resembles volleyball and is played in the sea.

After relaxing at the beach, head over to the pavilion and dine at one of the restaurants, where you’ll be able to indulge in a selection of delicious Mediterranean dishes as the sun sets over the Adriatic.
