Clean and comfortable car
15 September 2026Overall a great experience with a stunning clean car at a good price. Bigger boot and automatic transmission made driving much easier. We used it for a 10 day trip and gear shifting was the last thing I had to think of on longer stretches. It was just as comfortable to drive as it was for my family as passengers. Really happy with it.

Helpful staff
24 August 2026The lady at the desk was excellent, very patient with all our questions and explained the supplier terms and deposit in detail. Easy and quick rental, fair price, clean car in good condition, and we are very satisfied.

Late arrival support
2 August 2026Understanding and kind supplier team. We arrived late in the evening after our flight was delayed. I thought we would have to find a taxi and come back the next day, but the rental staff waited for us. Very grateful for that service. After a long travel day this was much appreciated.

Great value
9 July 2026Easy booking and we got a decent car for a great price. It was an older model but was very sturdy and worked without any problem. We drove it for more than 600 km. Booked for the first time with Goldcar but it wont be our last. Everything worked fine. Booking online was really convenient than looking for an agency after landing in Split.

Reliable car
10 June 2026A C-Class was great. It was a different car from what we booked but there were no issues driving it and we managed the trip very comfortably. So i have no complaints. It would be very useful to have more accurate description of the branch location next time because we will be coming back again. The price was acceptable for a clean and dependable car. Thanks.

Nice first experience
25 May 2026For my first experience, it went very well. Great staff, helpful and friendly. The car was bigger than booked and very comfortable. I would use them again. Thanks a lot.

Great car
22 May 2026There was a longer wait at pickup than expected, maybe because several flights arrived together. Once we got to the desk everything was handled well and the staff were polite. The car itself was great.

Trouble-free service
26 March 2026We were well looked after by a lovely staff member. The team was professional and friendly, and the car interior was great and it was easy to use. The whole experience was trouble-free and highly recommended.

Comfortable drive
5 February 2026The car handled our mountain road trip well and fuel consumption was better than expected. Not a fancy car but it was clean and comfortable and perfect for our plans. We drove from Split to Dubrovnik without any issues. Pickup was easy and relatively quick, and drop-off was smooth.

Spacious family car
16 January 2026We were originally planning a smaller car but we booked a bigger one because we had more luggage than we thought we would need. The car had plenty of space in the back for our kids. Pickup was busy but staff stayed polite and helpful the whole time. The staff were very friendly, the car was new and nice, and the rental location and parking were easy to find.
