ACI Marina Dubrovnik Overview
About ACI Marina Dubrovnik
ACI Marina Dubrovnik is situated in Komolac, approximately 2 nautical miles from the entrance of the Port of Gruž and only 6 km from the city center of Dubrovnik. Located in South Dalmatia, the marina is serviceable throughout the year. The nearest airport to ACI Marina Dubrovnik is Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), which is approximately 27 km away (around 30–35 minutes by car).
ACI Komolac is a premier starting point for exploring the Southern Dalmatian coast and gives travellers direct access by sea to key destinations like the Elafiti (Elaphiti) Islands, the Island of Korčula, the Pelješac Peninsula, Slano, and the Island of Mljet.
Currently, the marina has around 380 sea berths and 120 dry berths available for sailboats, motorboats, and catamarans, and each berth has its own water and electricity connection. The marina can comfortably accommodate vessels up to 45 meters. There are plenty of parking spaces on the marina’s premises as well.

Car Rental Tips
Before you pick up the car
Best Time to Book
Pro tip
Avoid July and August peak pricing. January, March, November and December offer the lowest daily rates in Croatia.
Fuel & Mileage Policy
Watch out
Always choose a “full to full” fuel policy with unlimited mileage — saves money on return and eliminates mileage concerns.
Benefit from Optional Add-ons
Must do
Enhance your trip with child seats, GPS, winter tyres, snow chains, WiFi or an additional driver at affordable extra cost.
Book in Advance
Required
Reserving early secures below-average rates and gives you access to a wider selection of vehicle categories.
Select the Right Car Category
Mostly city driving? An economy or compact car keeps fuel costs low and suits tighter budgets and narrow Croatian roads.
Comparison is Key
Use our platform to compare prices, ratings, reviews and inclusions across leading suppliers to find the best fit for your budget.
Driving tips
On the road from ACI Marina Dubrovnik
Use ACI Marina as the Start of Your Road Trip
Picking up the rental car here means you are already past the worst of Dubrovnik’s traffic; use that advantage and plan routes to Pelješac, Montenegro, or the Dalmatian coast.
Ditch the car for Old Town visits
Restricted access
Vehicle access to Dubrovnik’s Old Town is restricted. Unauthorised vehicles may receive automatic fines, so park at Ilijina Glavica or Gruž, walk to Pile Gate and continue on foot.
More gear? Choose a bigger car
Pro tip
For visitors finishing their sailing adventures and carrying more gear than typical tourists, a compact or SUV is likely a better fit than the economy options.
Fuel up at the marina entrance
Before hitting the D8 coastal road toward Cavtat or the Montenegro border, top up at INA fuel station conveniently located right at the entrance of ACI Marina Dubrovnik.
Confirm your meet-and-greet point
Watch out
While a few suppliers meet at the marina entrance, others come directly to your berth. Confirm the exact meeting point before you arrive, not after you have docked.
Reserve Early During the Sailing Season
Budget tip
A popular pickup point for yacht charter guests, rental car availability can become limited from June to September, so booking early often means better choice and pricing.

Rental car visitor tip: Coming from ACI Marina, head straight to Gruž Harbour (Zone 3) — it’s your first parking stop heading south and the smartest all-day option, at ~€17–30/day with a €1.50 city bus to Old Town. Only upgrade to Ilijina Glavica Garage (Zone 1) if you need escalator access to Pile Gate for a short visit and don’t mind the €80/day rate. Avoid Zone 0 entirely — the 2-hour limit and camera enforcement make it impractical for any real visit.

Best Day Trips from ACI Marina Dubrovnik by Rental Car

💸
Is it cheaper to rent a car at ACI Marina Dubrovnik versus Dubrovnik Airport?
While prices are primarily determined by season, vehicle type, supplier, rental duration, and demand rather than the pickup location itself, Dubrovnik Airport has more competitive car rental prices than ACI Marina due to a wider selection of suppliers and vehicles available. Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Factor | Dubrovnik Airport | ACI Marina Dubrovnik |
| Supplier choice | 20+ companies | Fewer companies |
| Vehicle availability | Large selection | Seasonal |
| Avg. daily rate (economy) | ~$15–30/day | Higher due to delivery fee |
↩️
My yacht returns late to ACI Marina Dubrovnik. Can I still collect my rental car?
Yes, many car rental companies servicing ACI Marina Dubrovnik offer after hours vehicle collection. Out of hours service is usually available on request and incurs an additional charge payable locally at the desk (minimum EUR 40 per service).
When booking, it’s highly advisable to let the supplier know your expected yacht return time or marina arrival time. This ensures that, if the charter schedule changes due to weather or sailing conditions, the supplier can deliver the car in a timely manner.
🛥️
I’m arriving by charter yacht, not flying in — how do I arrange pickup?
For travellers arriving by yacht at ACI Marina Dubrovnik, simply select ACI Marina Dubrovnik as your preferred pick up location when making a reservation. Skip the hassle of arranging the vehicle collection at the airport or city offices and begin your journey straight from the marina.

⚙️ Automatic Cars: €45–90/day
🚙 SUVs & Family Vehicles: €70–140+/day
✨ Premium & Luxury Cars: €120–250+/day
For the best selection and rates (especially during the busy sailing season from June to September), it’s recommended to book your car hire at ACI Marina Dubrovnik at least 4–6 weeks ahead.
💳
Do I need a credit card – or do suppliers at ACI Marina Dubrovnik accept a debit card for car hire?
Yes, almost all car rental companies at ACI Marina Dubrovnik require a credit card in the main driver’s name for a security deposit. The deposit hold ranges from €200-€1,500 depending on the vehicle category and insurance level. This deposit is determined by the supplier, considering the applicable excess amount and the selected car category, and is released within 5 to 14 working days after the rented vehicle is returned in its original condition.
A few car rental companies might accept debit cards for car hire. However, please note that prepaid/debit cards are accepted as a payment method, but cannot be used for deposit pre-authorisation. For deposit authorisation, presenting a credit card is still mandatory.

➡️
Can I pick up a rental car at ACI Marina Dubrovnik and drop it off in Split or another city?
Yes. Most car rental companies offer one way rentals, allowing you to collect your vehicle at ACI Marina Dubrovnik and return it to Split or another Croatian city. Note that rentals for such routes often incur a drop-off fee, which varies by route, supplier, vehicle type, and season.
🚧
Are there any toll roads when leaving ACI Marina Dubrovnik?
No. The roads immediately around ACI Komolac and the city are toll free. While travelling to nearby destinations like Dubrovnik Old Town, Cavtat, Konavle, Ston, or along the scenic Adriatic coastal road (D8), you won’t encounter any tolls.
