What documents do I need to pick up a rental car in Split?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Primary as well as all additional drivers must carry a valid driver\u2019s licence (if the licence has multiple parts, you must present all of them), a valid original ID card\/or passport, a credit card (in the main driver\u2019s name), and a Rental Confirmation Voucher when picking up the hired vehicle in Split.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required in addition to a National Driving Licence if the DL of you or any of the Additional Drivers is not clearly identifiable, e.g., it is in a non-Latin alphabet (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Split?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

EU driving licences are fully valid for renting a car in Split, no IDP required. An IDP, however, is mandatory if your licence is not in Latin script (e.g. Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic). US, Canadian, and Australian drivers with Latin-script licences are not legally required to carry one, but some local suppliers will ask for one regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation: Obtain your IDP before leaving your home country, as it cannot be issued in Croatia. Cost is typically \u20ac10\u201320 from your national motoring association.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can I rent a car in Split if I am under 25?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

As with most major EU countries, car hire companies in Split permit drivers aged 18 and above to rent a car. A young driver surcharge will be applied to drivers under 25 (typically \u20ac5 – \u20ac10 per day). Drivers under 25 renting a car in Split will likely have limited car choices. They will likely face no trouble booking Economy, Mini, or Compact models, but Luxury vehicles, large SUVs, and high-performance cars are often off-limits to young drivers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
