Cheap Car Rental ACI Marina Split –
Save upto 70% with Local Expert Tips

You should have the following set of documents when collecting a vehicle to avoid booking denial or cancellation:

ℹ️ These documents are separate from your boat paperwork, so you should keep them with you rather than packing them in checked luggage bound for the yacht.

The minimum age to book with most suppliers is 21, though it can be 25 with others. Drivers under 25 are subject to a young driver surcharge. Enter your correct date of birth during the car search to see the accurate total, including any surcharge. Some suppliers also apply a senior driver surcharge for renters over 70 or 75. Read the driver’s eligibility criteria with your chosen supplier before booking.

⚠️ The young driver surcharge varies by supplier and typically ranges from €5 to €30 per day.

Most rental companies charge €5 to €10 per day for an extra driver. An additional driver may be included at no extra cost in some deals, but a separate charge applies in most cases and varies by supplier. You can view the exact amount in the rental terms or from the list of available optional extras on the booking summary page.

⚠️ Any additional driver is subject to the same age and license requirements as the main driver.

Yes, with prior supplier approval. Split’s Jadrolinija ferry terminal is a short walk or drive from ACI Marina Split, on the opposite side of the harbour from the marina itself.

⚠️ Ferry crossing with a rental is not permitted by all suppliers and not for all car categories. Confirm with your supplier and book the car ferry ticket separately in advance, as spaces tend to fill up much faster in summer.

Driving directly to or around the ACI Marina Split is fairly easy, but navigating the broader port area and city centre can be challenging for first-time visitors. Most bareboat and crewed charters run on a Saturday-to-Saturday cycle, and changeover days can cause heavy traffic around the marina gate as one group’s luggage and provisions go out while the next group’s come in.

✅ If your charter starts on a Saturday, book your rental car return for the morning rather than early afternoon. Doing so avoids both the changeover crowd at the marina and rush parking near the loading zone.

The marina does not have any immediate toll roads, as it is located on the western side of central Split and the roads leading to and from the ACI Marina are toll-free city roads. Travellers planning longer journeys from Split to other major cities often encounter tolled routes.

✅ Tolls are paid in cash (euros accepted) or by card at staffed booths. Keep small bills accessible. The ENC electronic tag system is available on all Croatian motorways but is rarely practical to arrange for a short holiday rental.

Yes, most suppliers allow cross-border car rentals with their prior authorisation and a Green Card (International Insurance Certificate).

⚠️ Driving across a border without the supplier’s written authorisation voids the insurance, regardless of the marina’s own customs clearance for your boat. Meaning that you will be fully responsible for costs related to vehicle damage or third-party claims in case of unauthorised cross-border travel.

A Green Card is generally not required for travelling within the EU and the EEA, including Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, and Italy. But it may be mendatory for driving from Croatia into Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Albania – none of which are EU members. Regardless of destination, ask your supplier for a Green Card at pickup.

A full-to-full fuel policy is standard and commonly used by suppliers across Croatia. For that, you get a car hire with a full tank and return it full. Some suppliers may also offer a same-to-same policy, in which you return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel you received at pickup. Returning the vehicle with less fuel than the agreed-upon policy incurs a missing fuel charge and a service fee from the supplier.

ℹ️ The marina’s own fuel station is for boats only; the nearest road-vehicle petrol station is a short drive toward the Old Town.
