Is it cheaper to rent a car in Trogir city centre or at Split Airport?
If you’re flying into Split and heading straight to Trogir (only ~8 km away), picking up at the airport saves you arranging onward transport. For stays starting later, a city-centre pickup saves money. Here’s a quick comparison guide:
| Location | Typical cost difference | Best for |
| Trogir city office | Lower base price (no airport surcharge) | Travellers already in Trogir / arriving by bus |
| Split Airport (SPU) | +5–15% airport levy | Travellers flying in who want a car from day one |

How much does it cost to rent a car in Trogir?
Prices vary by season, car class, and rental length. Here’s a rough daily guide:
| Car class | Low season (Nov–Apr) | High season (Jun–Aug) |
| Economy (e.g. VW Up) | from ~€13/day | from ~€28/day |
| Compact (e.g. VW Polo) | from ~€20/day | from ~€40/day |

Weekly rentals work out cheaper per day than daily rates. Always check whether the quoted price includes VAT, insurance, and any airport surcharges.

How much is the security deposit for a rental car in Trogir?
Car rental companies typically pre-authorise a deposit on the main driver’s credit card, with the amount ranging from €200 to €1,500+. Luxury and premium cars may require up to €3,000.
Please note that the deposit is blocked and not charged on the credit card and is released within 7–21 days after the car is returned with no damage or outstanding fines.
📄
What insurance is included with a car rental in Trogir?
Most rentals include a basic insurance bundle as standard:
| TPL (Third Party Liability) | Damage to other people/vehicles | Yes |
| CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) | Damage to your rental car (with excess) | Yes |
| TP (Theft Protection) | Theft of the vehicle (with excess) | Yes |
| SCDW / Zero excess upgrade | Removes your excess liability | Optional add-on |
| Roadside assistance | Breakdown / flat tyre | Sometimes included |
“CDW included” does not mean zero liability – most basic policies still have an excess (deductible) of €500–€1,500. Upgrade to full protection or Super CDW to eliminate it.
