Helpful staff & great value
16 September 2026Super experience, good value, and very helpful staff, both by phone and in person. The only thing that would have made it better was clear directions to find the exact pickup location, which is a 5-10 minute walk from the terminal building. All except that was great. Thanks for the service.

Knowledgeable customer support
22 July 2026Very good service and a warm welcome; a valuable tip from the customer service helped us add and set up the GPS system for our route, which proved to be of great use. The vehicle was comfortable and very clean. Overall, we really appreciated it.

Pleasant service
1 June 2026I had rented a Suzuki Vitara. However, when I went to the branch at the airport, it turned out to be unavailable. I received another car in the same segment instead. During the handover, I also had a very pleasant and friendly conversation with a nice employee.

20 May 2026Very efficient and friendly staff, although I had to wait a while at the check-in desk because it was busy with other customers. Booked the rental at a good price and my deposit was returned by email a week after the return. Very good.

Friendly staff
26 February 2026The representative at the car rental office was very personable and friendly. He was very thorough and explained everything without fuss. The car we got was an upgrade, as it had air conditioning and was automatic, which I did not expect but was a much-appreciated bonus. The return process was very straightforward too, and we saw the same friendly guy. Many thanks.

Reliable service
2 February 2026The Carwiz staff behaved very professionally and everyone was courteous. A very good car, comfortable and pleasant to drive. We were missing a roof box for a bit more space. Things were good. Thank you.

Impressive fleet
20 January 2026The variety of vehicles was great. I took my time to select a perfect car for my trip. Easy booking. The pickup location was a little difficult to find but the car pickup was easy. Yael was very professional, kind, quick, and efficient. I recommend him and will come back.

One Way Car Rental Croatia
Without backtracking, pick up the hired vehicle from your preferred location in Dubrovnik and return it to another city in Croatia with complete freedom and flexibility.
ℹ
Important 2022 Update: The Dubrovnik-to-Split drive now stays entirely within Croatia, thanks to the Pelješac Bridge, which opened in July 2022. No more border crossing woes about driving through the Neum/Bosnia corridor and dealing with additional fees or insurance coverages.
