Timing & Station Services

That depends on your itinerary. If you are spending a day or two exploring the city before travelling further, it’s better to collect your rental car when you are ready to leave the city. Split’s Old Town is fully walkable, and a parked rental car just adds cost for days you’re not driving.

However, if you’re heading straight to destinations such as Trogir, Omiš, Krka National Park, or Dubrovnik after arriving by train, collecting your rental car immediately is the most convenient option.

It depends on the rental company you made a reservation with and the scheduled pick-up time. If you’re arriving on an overnight or late-running train, it’s important to inform your rental company in advance. Many suppliers can accommodate late arrivals if notified beforehand, while others may ask you to collect your vehicle the following morning.

Tip: When booking, check the supplier’s operating hours and after-hours collection policy. If you’re travelling on the overnight sleeper train to Split, choosing a supplier that offers late pickup or flexible meet-and-greet services can make your arrival much smoother.

Yes. Split Main Train Station has a left-luggage facility, making it easy to store your bags if you arrive before your rental car pickup or want to spend a few hours exploring the city first. As the station sits beside the ferry port and bus terminal, you’ll also find several private luggage storage services within a short walk.
