Your Dalmatian Road Trip Starts Here
Why a Rental Car Gives You More Flexibility in Trogir
While it’s true that Trogir’s UNESCO old town is entirely walkable on foot, everything beyond isn’t. The core of this historic town might be compact, but the rest of the Dalmatian coast, the nearby islands and attractions are spread out and poorly served by public transport, making hiring a car one of the most practical choices for travellers. Basing yourself in Trogir with a hire car gives easy access to not only Split but also nearby coastal towns (Makarska, Brela, Omiš), islands (Hvar, Brač, Šolta), historic towns (Šibenik, Salona, Sinj), as well as national parks (Krka National Park, Plitvice Lakes).
Ideally positioned between Split, Šibenik and the central Dalmatian islands, Trogir is the perfect base for exploring the region’s diverse landscape and attractions in the comfort and convenience of a rental car. We are a leading car rental broker offering users a secure platform to book their ride at affordable rates. For an uninterrupted journey behind the wheel, reserve your car hire for Trogir through our reliable booking engine.

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 an 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
While on the road
Don’t drive into Trogir Old Town
Restricted access
The historic core of Trogir is largely pedestrianised. Park the rental car outside the town walls or the parking areas on Čiovo island (connected by the southern Trogir bridge) and then walk in.
Choose A1 over D8 for faster long-distance travel
Pro tip
For trips to Šibenik, Krka or beyond, A1 motorway is faster and less congested than D8. Choose A1 to avoid coastal bottlenecks, saving up to 20-30 mins.
If flying in, pick up at Split Airport
Airport pickup
Trogir is located 5 km west of Split Airport, making it one of the most convenient pick-up locations for visitors arriving by air and staying in Trogir or the Kaštela area.
For exploring Čiovo Island, map your route
Local tip
If visiting Čiovo Island, make sure to manually route yourself via the Hrvatskih Branitelja Bridge to bypass the historic bottleneck and save up to 45 minutes.
Budget for parking near Trogir’s North and South gates
Budget tip
Public parking lots near Trogir Old Town can be really expensive. As an alternative park in the smaller, semi-formal lots immediately to the left of the Čiovo Island bridge exit.
Dubrovnik Day Trip? Skip Neum Crossing
Scenic route
Route yourself via the Pelješac Bridge to skip driving through the Neum/Bosnia corridor and avoid additional fees or insurance coverage.

ℹ
Rental car visitor tip: T1 Travarica is the smartest default for most visitors — park for €10–20/day, walk 5–7 minutes through the market to the Old Town, and avoid Fortin’s €6/hr penalty rate entirely. Only use Fortin for luggage drop-off on arrival (stay under 15 min). Travelling in a minivan or with a large group? T4 Brigi has the space and lowest attended rates. Staying multiple days? Pantana Park & Ride at ~€1/hr is the best value in the area. Never drive onto Čiovo in July or August between 10am and 8pm — bridge queues regularly exceed one hour.

Beach & Swim
🌊
Brela — Makarska Riviera
One of Croatia’s most beautiful pebble beaches — fine white stones, pine trees reaching the water’s edge, and the iconic Brela Stone rock rising from the sea. Far less crowded than Makarska itself (outside peak summer weekends) and a much prettier setting.
- Pebble Beach
- Pine Shade
- Iconic Views
65 km
(55 min)
🏖️
Makarska — Riviera beaches
A long, lively beach town backed by the dramatic Biokovo mountain face. The main beach runs the length of the promenade — calm, clear water and easy parking at the north end of town before the crowds fill the central lots.
- Long Beach
- Mountain Backdrop
- Lively Town
75 km
(65 min)
🏝️
Čiovo Island — Slatine & Okrug
A car-accessible island connected by a bridge directly from Trogir. Drive to Slatine or Okrug Gornji for calm coves, clear water and waterfront konobas — without the effort of a ferry. Best visited early morning or after 6 pm to avoid the bridge queue.
- Bridge Access
- Calm Coves
- No Ferry Needed
8 km
(15 min)
💡
Planner Insight: Brela is the easiest full beach day from Trogir — 65 km south on the A1, with limited free roadside parking available at the north end of the beach, and the famous Brela Stone sea rock is a 10-minute walk from the car. Get there before 10 am in July and August to guarantee a spot.

Nature & Parks
🌷
Krka National Park
Croatia’s most accessible national park — wooden walkways lead through lush canyon vegetation to the multi-tiered Skradinski Buk waterfall. The Skradin entry point is an easy 55 km drive north on the A1 motorway with clear signposting throughout.
- Waterfalls
- Scenic Walkways
- Canyon Walk
55 km
(50 min)
⛰️
Biokovo Nature Park

- Mountain Drive
- Panoramic Views
- Skywalk
90 km
(75 min)
🏞️
Cetina Canyon & River Source
A remote karst river canyon winding through limestone gorges toward Omiš. The source of the Cetina near Sinj is an official Croatian natural monument — a deep turquoise spring emerging from a cliff face. Combine with the canyon road to Omiš for a full inland loop.
- River Canyon
- Karst Spring
- Scenic Drive
~50 km
(50 min)
Planner Tip: Krka and Šibenik make a natural pairing — enter Krka at Skradin (the easiest entry point from Trogir), walk the Skradinski Buk waterfall circuit, then drive 20 min to Šibenik old town for lunch. You’re back in Trogir by late afternoon.

History & Fortresses
🏰
Klis Fortress
A 2,000-year-old hilltop fortress perched on a karst ridge above Split — used as a filming location for Meereen in Game of Thrones. Panoramic views of Split, the coast and the islands from the ramparts. One of the most dramatic sites in Dalmatia and barely 20 km from Trogir.

🏛️
Salona (Solin) — Roman Ruins

- Roman Ruins
- Free Entry
- Rarely Crowded
15 km
(15 min)
⛪
Šibenik — Cathedral of St James
A UNESCO World Heritage cathedral built entirely of stone — no brick, no mortar — constructed between 1431 and 1535. The old town surrounding it climbs a steep hill to two hilltop fortresses with commanding sea views. Combines naturally with a Krka day.
- UNESCO Cathedral
- Hilltop Forts
- Medieval Town
50 km
(45 min)
Planner Tip: Klis Fortress is best before 9:30 am — the ramparts are quiet, the light for photos of Split spread below is perfect, and you avoid the tour groups that arrive from Split mid-morning. It’s only 20 km from Trogir, so the early start is painless.

- Clifftop Hike
- Hidden Church
- Island Views
12 km
(20 min)
Planner Tip: Book Cetina rafting in advance for July and August — operators fill fast and same-day bookings are often unavailable by 9am. The rafting route takes about 2 hours on the water; combine with the canyon drive from Trogir for a full active day.

Primošten — Peninsula Old Town

Good online platform
VerifiedGreat price, and easy online booking platform. So far so good. Service can’t be faulted. I booked an automatic compact hatchback for pick up at Split airport. Drove to Trogir and stayed there for a few days exploring nearby destinations. A car really came in handy for day trips around the region. Happily returned the rented car at the supplier’s branch in Trogir as requested by us during booking. Returning the car was fairly easy as well. The representative was courteous during the car hire return as well. I’m expecting great things for next time as well.

💸
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 |

| 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 |
| SUV / midsize | from ~€35/day | from ~€70/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.

| 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.
📄
What documents do I need to rent a car in Trogir?
Ahead of car rental pickup, ensure you are carrying mandatory documents including: a valid physical driving licence held for at least one full year (digital licences are not accepted at Croatian counters), a passport or EU national ID card, a credit card in the main driver’s name with sufficient funds for the deposit hold, and your booking confirmation voucher.
If your licence is in a non-Latin script (Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese), an International Driving Permit is mandatory alongside your domestic licence.
🧑
What is the minimum age to rent a car in Trogir?
The minimum age to hire a car in Trogir is 18, though most suppliers require drivers to be at least 21. Drivers under 25 should expect to pay a young driver surcharge on top of the rental rate.
🆔
Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Trogir?
Even if Croatian law doesn’t require an IDP for your nationality, some rental companies at Split Airport and Trogir may ask for one as a contract condition. It’s good practice to obtain one before travelling if you’re unsure. As a quick breakdown:
| Licence type | IDP required? |
| EU licence (any country) | ✖ Not required |
| UK licence (Latin script) | ✖ Not required — but bring DVLA endorsement record |
| US / Canadian / Australian licence | ⚠️ Recommended — some suppliers require it at their discretion |
| Licence in Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese or Korean script | ✅ Yes — mandatory |
💳
Is a debit card accepted for car rental in Trogir, or do I need a credit card?
Most rental companies in Trogir require a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) in the main driver’s name for the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted, or only accepted on specific vehicle categories with stricter conditions (e.g. a larger deposit or pre-payment of the full rental cost). Always check the payment terms of your specific booking before arrival.
↔️
Can I pick up a car in Trogir and drop it off at Split Airport (SPU)?
Yes, picking up the rental car in Trogir and returning it to Split Airport is possible, as many suppliers operate offices at both locations. A one way/drop off fee might still apply for such short distances – 8 km. Some local agencies include one-way within the Split/Trogir area for free.
🅿️
Where can I park near Trogir Old Town with a rental car?
Since Trogir Old Town is pedestrian-only, you will need to park the rental car in the nearby paid parking areas. Here’s a quick overview of all available options:
| Parking area | Distance to Old Town | Approx. cost | Notes |
| Parking Pantan (north of island) | ~5 min walk | €1–€2/hr | Largest option; fills fast in summer |
| Parking near Čiovo bridge | ~5 min walk | €1–€2/hr | Good for south-side access |
| Street parking (Trogir outskirts) | 10–15 min walk | Free or low cost | Very limited; arrive early |
🚢
Can I take a rental car from Trogir onto a ferry to the islands?
Most suppliers permit taking a rental car onto the ferry from Trogir to nearby Croatian islands, but require advance written permission and a ferry surcharge of around €7–€10/day. Here’s what to know:
| Island | Car Ferry Available? | Typical Advice |
| Brač | Yes | Easy to take a rental car if approved by the rental company |
| Hvar | Yes (on specific ferry routes) | Check schedules carefully; some services are passenger-only |
| Šolta | Yes | Common day-trip destination with vehicles |
| Vis | Yes | Vehicle ferries operate, but reservations are wise in summer |
🚗
What is the best car size for driving in Trogir’s narrow streets?
While you generally won’t drive through Trogir’s Old Town as it’s largely pedestrian only, however, for most of the city and nearby Dalmatian coast, a small car (economy or compact) is usually the best choice. Here’s a complete breakdown:
| Car type | Trogir suitability | Notes |
| City car (e.g. VW Up, Fiat 500) | Best choice | Fine for short routes |
| Compact (e.g. VW Polo, Skoda Fabia) | Good | Comfortable for coastal drives |
| Midsize/sedan | Manageable | Good for families/luggage |
| SUV / large 4×4 | Difficult | Good for rough roads/islands |
🛂
Can I take my rental car from Trogir to Bosnia & Herzegovina or Montenegro?
Yes, cross-border travel is usually permitted, but you must notify your rental agency in advance to receive a written authorisation. Without this, your insurance is invalid outside Croatia.
| Country | Generally Allowed? | Typical Requirements | Notes |
| Bosnia & Herzegovina | ✅ Yes, usually | Written permission letter + Green Card insurance | Most major companies allow it; budget/local companies may not |
| Montenegro | ✅ Yes, usually | Written permission letter + Green Card insurance | Also commonly permitted by major rentals |
🚧
Are there toll roads near Trogir?
Yes. Most of Croatia’s motorway network is tolled. Key routes from Trogir:
| Route | Toll? | Approx. cost (car) |
| A1 motorway (Split → Zagreb) | Yes | ~€20–€30 full length |
| A1 to Šibenik / Zadar | Yes | ~€3–€8 |
| Coastal road D8 (Split → Dubrovnik) | No toll | Free (scenic route) |
| Pelješac Bridge (near Dubrovnik) | No toll | Free |
Tolls can be paid by cash (EUR) or credit/debit card at toll booths. There is no vignette system — you pay per segment used.
🅰️
Are automatic cars available to rent in Trogir?
Yes, automatic cars are widely available in the city, including at ACI Marina and city centre locations. Choose from compact hatchbacks like the Volkswagen Golf and Opel Astra, and SUVs such as the Toyota Yaris Cross, Peugeot 3008, and Kia XCeed, for automatic vehicles suited to your trip type.
As the rental fleet in Croatia is predominantly manual, automatic cars are in short supply and cost about €15-20 more per day; therefore, booking them well in advance is recommended to ensure availability.
