Which airport is closest to Cavtat for picking up a rental car?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Since Cavtat does not have its own dedicated commercial airport, it is served by Dubrovnik Airport (DBV). DBV is the closest option located just a 10-minute drive from Cavtat. It is the main international airport serving Dubrovnik, with all major car hire agencies located in the car park across from the Arrivals Terminal. No other airport is as close to Cavtat as DBV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Is there an extra fee for young drivers?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Yes. The minimum age to rent a car in Croatia is typically 21, and drivers under 25 are usually subject to a young driver surcharge. The surcharge can range from \u20ac5 to \u20ac15 per day. Younger drivers are often also permitted to book from small-sized or low-powered car categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
