Route breakdown
One-Way Car Rental from Zagreb to Split
Zagreb to Split is Croatia’s main north-south route, connecting the capital with the country’s second-largest city and the gateway to central Dalmatia. Most travellers make this journey by plane or bus, but driving gives you more freedom to stop along the way. You can visit Plitvice Lakes National Park, explore Karlovac or Zadar, or stop whenever you find a great view of the Dinaric Mountains.
The drive runs mostly on the A1 motorway for most of the journey. It is a modern toll road that has made the trip much easier, reducing what was once a full-day journey to around four hours by car. Picking up in Zagreb and dropping off in Split is a standard one-way rental, offered by all major car rental companies in Croatia for a small drop-off fee.

Zagreb Airport (ZAG) to Split Airport (SPU) Route Breakdown
Everything you need to know about driving between Croatia’s capital and its second-biggest city, following the A1 motorway route covering around 400 km in total.
Zagreb Airport (ZAG) – Velika Gorica
Start · Pick-up point
Pick up your rental car at Zagreb Airport, around 17 km southeast of the city centre. From the airport, drive north toward Zagreb and then join the A1 motorway south. Depending on your rental branch, you may also be able to connect directly to the motorway.
🛣️
A1 Motorway – Karlovac to Gorski Kotar
Main route • Toll road
The A1 is a modern and well-maintained motorway with tolls, so keep a card or some cash ready for the toll booths. The road passes through hilly and forested areas. During winter, especially between November and March, the higher parts of the motorway can experience snow, so check the road conditions before travelling.
Plitvice Lakes National Park (Optional Detour)
Popular stop • Detour required
Plitvice is a short drive from the A1 and can be reached from the nearby motorway exits. It is one of Croatia’s most popular natural attractions, famous for its turquoise lakes, waterfalls, and wooden boardwalk trails. Allow some extra travel time if you want to visit, as the park requires a detour from the main route rather than being directly along the motorway.
Zadar & Šibenik Area
Coastal stretch • Rest stops available
Back on the A1, the motorway runs closer to the coast as you pass the Zadar and Šibenik exits. Both towns are easy to reach for a short break, with historic old towns and sea views if you want to stretch your legs before continuing south.
Trogir
Recommended stop • Near Split
Close to the end of the journey, Trogir’s UNESCO-listed historic centre occupies a small island between the mainland and Čiovo. Its old town is easy to explore on foot in an hour or two, making it a good final stop before reaching Split.
Split Airport (SPU)
End · Drop-off point
Finish your journey at Split Airport, around 25 km west of Split city centre. Drop off the car here for a flight onward, or continue to the city centre branch if you plan to explore Split before flying out.

Choose your route
Should You Take the A1 Motorway or the D1 Old Road?
Both routes connect Zagreb Airport and Split Airport. The A1 motorway is the modern and direct option, while the D1 follows the older inland road through central Croatia. Your choice depends on how much time you have, whether you want to pay tolls, and whether you’re planning any stops along the way.

Stops along the way
Must-See Stops on the Zagreb–Split Coastal Drive
Taking the A1 motorway doesn’t mean you have to skip the sights. These stops are close to the route and can easily be included in a one-way drive from Zagreb to Split.
Karlovac
Often called the “town of four rivers, ” Karlovac is where the Kupa, Korana, Dobra, and Mrežnica rivers meet. Its star-shaped old town was built as a 16th-century military fortress and is easy to explore on foot. The riverbanks are also a pleasant place to stop, stretch your legs, and take a break early in the journey.
Approx. 55 km from Zagreb
45 min drive
Allow 30–45 min
Plitvice Lakes National Park
Plitvice is a short detour from the A1 and is home to sixteen terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and wooden boardwalks. It is one of Croatia’s most visited natural attractions. Allow half a day to explore the walking trails rather than treating it as a quick stop.
Approx. 130 km from Zagreb (detour required) •
Allow 3–4 hrs
Zadar
The old town here is located on a peninsula and combines Roman ruins with modern attractions. The Sea Organ uses the movement of the waves to create sounds, and the Sun Salutation is a large circle of solar panels that lights up after dark. Its location makes Zadar a convenient midpoint for taking a longer break during the drive.
Approx. 285 km from Zagreb
~3 hr drive
Allow 1–1.5 hrs
Trogir
Explore the UNESCO-listed old town of Trogir, built on a small island and connected to the mainland by bridges. Its narrow medieval streets and the Kamerlengo Fortress make it a good final stop before your onward journey to Split or car return.
Approx. 380 km from Zagreb
Around 30 min before Split
Allow 45 min–1 hr
Costs & fees
One-Way Drop Fee by Supplier (Zagreb-Split)
One-way rentals may incur a drop-off fee when you return the car to a different location. Amounts vary significantly by supplier, location, vehicle, and travel dates. Filter by one-way fee when comparing to avoid surprises.
| Rental Supplier | Estimated one-way fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | €80–€150 | Among the lower one-way fees from a major international brand |

| Europcar | €80–€150 | Notably higher fee among major international brands |
| Hertz | €250–€300 | Highest one-way fee in this comparison |
| Avis | €65–€200 | Lowest one-way fee among major international brands |

| National | €80–€150 | Budget-friendly local pick, slightly above Active |
| CARWIZ | €100–€120 | Highest one-way fee among local operators |

Before you drive
One-way rental pre-departure checklist
What to confirm before leaving the desk:
Written confirmation for one-way drop-off fee
The exact one-way drop-off fee, whether charged per day or as a flat rate, should be clearly listed on your rental agreement. A verbal confirmation alone is not enough and cannot be relied on as proof in case of a dispute.
Winter equipment requirement confirmed (Nov–Apr)
The A1 motorway between Zagreb and Maslenica is an official winter road section. If you are driving between mid-November and mid-April, confirm that the car has the required winter tyres or that snow chains are provided. This is a legal requirement, not an optional extra.
Vehicle inspection documented
Take photos of all existing scratches, dents, and other damage before leaving the supplier branch, especially underneath the bumpers. Make sure all existing damage is recorded on the rental agreement so you can avoid disputes or incorrect damage claims later.
Drop-off location and address confirmed
Check the exact address and opening hours of the supplier office in Split where you will return the car, whether it is at the airport or in the city. Knowing this in advance can save time and make the end of your journey easier.
Fuel policy & toll payment understood
Most car rentals in Croatia use a full-to-full fuel policy, so confirm the policy before you collect the car. Also check whether you need to pay the A1 motorway tolls yourself or whether the rental includes an electronic toll device (ENC).
After-hours return procedure confirmed
Confirm and arrange the service well in advance if you need to return the car in Split after the supplier’s opening hours. Follow the supplier’s exact return instructions to avoid delays or unexpected additional charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Travel & Vehicle Options
💳
How much does it cost to book a one-way car rental from Zagreb to Split?
Booking prices vary by season, supplier, and individual traveller preferences. In addition to the daily rate, one-way deals may also incur an additional drop-off fee for returning the car to a different location than where it was picked up. This is usually charged as a flat fee per rental and is based on your chosen car type, supplier, and one-way route.
| Season | Daily rate (economy–compact) |
| Off-season (Nov–Mar) | €15–30/day |
| Shoulder (Apr–May / Sep–Oct) | €20–45/day |
| Early summer (June) | €35–60/day |
| Peak (Jul–Aug) | €50–90/day |
ℹ️ Since the exact drop-off fee isn’t fixed, always read the supplier terms before confirming your booking. It is generally added separately from the daily rate, but may already be included in the deal.
🚧
Are tolls included in the rental price?
No. Motorway tolls are paid separately from the rental cost and are the driver’s responsibility unless the supplier explicitly includes an electronic toll device (ENC) in the agreement. The A1 motorway between Zagreb and Split is a tolled route. A one-way toll for a standard passenger car here can cost around €26.
ℹ️ You can pay tolls in cash or by card at toll booths if your hired car is not fitted with an ENC device. Obtaining an ENC tag is usually recommended if most of your trip involves motorway driving or you are staying for an extended period. You can request the supplier to arrange an ENC if it is not already fitted in the vehicle.
➡️
How much deposit is required for a one-way rental?
The security deposit is a pre-authorisation hold the supplier places on your credit card at pickup in Zagreb. The deposit is not a charge, and the amount depends on the insurance level you choose. The hold is released in full, as long as the car is returned undamaged and with no traffic fines in Split.
| Insurance level | Typical deposit hold |
| Standard CDW (with excess) | €800–1,500 |
| SCDW / reduced excess | €200–500 |
| Full cover / premium package | €0–200 |
It can take 7–21 business days for the refund to be processed in your account, depending on your bank and how many other deposits the supplier has to release before your turn.
⚠️ Make sure your card has enough available credit to cover the hold on top of any other travel expenses before arriving at the pickup desk.
🚘
Where can I pick up a car hire in Zagreb?
Most suppliers offer several pickup points in Zagreb, including the ZAG Airport, the city centre, the main bus station, and the main train station. Some also offer hotel delivery for an extra fee. Travellers flying in usually collect vehicles from an on-airport supplier. You can also choose a city centre pickup for a cheaper option or if you are already staying in Zagreb the night before.
↩️
Can I return a one-way rental in Split after hours?
After-hours rental drop-off service depends on the supplier and location. Most suppliers at major locations offer it for an added fee and require advance notice. Confirm the service is available with your preferred supplier at the required location before booking.
ℹ️ Based on standard industry practice, after-hours return fees are commonly around €30 per rental. You can view the exact after-hours fee in the rental terms when booking with us.
📅
How far in advance should I book?
Early booking is based on when, where, and which type of car you need in Croatia.
| Travel period | Recommended lead time |
| November–March | A few days to 1 week |
| April–May | 1–2 weeks |
| June | 3–4 weeks |
| July–August | 6–10 weeks |
| September | 2–3 weeks |
| October | 1–2 weeks |
💡 One-way rentals can sell out faster than standard round-trip bookings at popular locations, since fewer cars are allocated for cross-city drop-offs. Booking a Zagreb–Split one-way trip early in peak season can help you secure the required car at a reasonable price.
💳
Do I need a credit card to rent a car from Zagreb to Split?
A credit card is required for the security deposit hold rather than for payment itself. The card must be in the name of the primary driver listed on the rental agreement. A few select suppliers may accept debit card deposits, but with a higher deposit amount and additional insurance.
💡 Check whether your travel companion can be registered as the main driver and use their card to book if you don’t have a personal credit card. You can be added as an additional driver in that situation.
📄
What documents do I need to rent a car in Croatia?
The required documentation for all standard rentals in Croatia is given below.
- Full driving licence held for at least 1–2 years, depending on the supplier
- Passport or national ID
- Valid credit card in the primary driver’s name for the security deposit hold
- Rental Confirmation Voucher
⚠️ International Driving Permit (IDP): Required if your driving licence is from a non-EU country and is not in Latin script (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese). It is not mandatory for EU, UK, US, Canadian, or Australian licence holders, but it is often advised to carry it with your domestic licence.
🛂
Can I travel cross-border into Bosnia or Slovenia with the rental car?
Yes, cross-border travel with a rental car from any Croatian location to neighbouring countries is possible with prior written authorisation from the supplier. A cross-border fee usually applies, along with a Green Card (international insurance certificate).
| Country | Generally permitted? | Cross-border Fee | Green Card required? |
| Slovenia | Yes (EU) | €0–30; often included on longer rentals | No (EU) |
| Bosnia & Herzegovina | Yes (most suppliers) | ~€50–100 | Yes |
⚠️ Crossing either border without the supplier’s written authorisation invalidates your insurance coverage and incurs fines. You will be fully responsible for all costs in case of an accident during unauthorised travel abroad.
ℹ️ The Zagreb to Split route itself runs entirely on the A1 motorway within Croatia and does not require crossing into either country. Confirm with the supplier and obtain authorisation for a detour or a longer itinerary beyond the direct route.
🛡️
Do I need additional insurance for a one-way rental?
Most rental cars in Croatia come with Third Party Liability, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), and Theft Protection. But the standard cover may still leave you with an excess (minimum amount you must pay in case of vehicle damage).
| Cover | Included in base rental? | What it does |
| Third Party Liability | Yes | Covers damage or injury to others |
| CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) | Yes – with excess | Limits your liability for vehicle damage, up to the excess |
| Theft Protection | Yes – with excess | Limits liability if the car is stolen |
| SCDW (Super CDW) | Optional add-on | Reduces or removes the CDW excess |
| Wheels, Undercarriage, Glass | Not included | Covers tyre punctures, windscreen chips, glass damage |
Standard CDW typically does not cover tyre damage, windscreen chips, glass breakage, or undercarriage damage on Croatian roads.
💡 Check if your travel insurance policy or credit card covers rental cover before purchasing SCDW or full protection to avoid paying twice.
🕒
How long does it take to drive from Zagreb to Split?
A drive of about 400 km from Zagreb to Split takes around 3.5–4 hours on the A1 motorway without stops. Travel time varies mainly by season and time of day.
| Time of travel | Typical drive time | Notes |
| Off-peak (Nov–Apr) | 3.5–4 hrs | Quiet roads; check winter tyre rules |
| Shoulder (May–Jun, Sep–Oct) | 3.5–4 hrs | Light to moderate traffic |
| Peak (Jul–Aug), weekdays | 4–4.5 hrs | Some congestion near toll booths |
| Peak (Jul–Aug), weekends | 4.5–5+ hrs | Heaviest congestion, especially entering Split |
⚠️ In July and August, expect delays of 30–60 minutes or more due to holiday traffic, particularly around toll booths and the approach into Split.
📅
What is the best time to rent a car from Zagreb to Split?
The right time to hire a car depends on your booking preferences, such as better prices, weather, or quieter roads.
| Period | Weather | Road traffic | Rental pricing |
| Nov–Mar | Cold; winter tyres required (Zagreb–Maslenica section) | Light | Lowest |
| Apr–May | Mild, improving | Light–moderate | Low |
| Jun | Warm | Moderate | Rising |
| Jul–Aug | Hot, peak summer | Heavy | Highest |
| Sep–Oct | Warm, pleasant | Light–moderate | Moderate, dropping |
💡 May–June and September–October offer the best overall balance. You get warm enough weather for a comfortable trip, without the peak-season traffic or prices of July and August.
🚙
Can I rent an SUV one-way from Zagreb to Split?
Yes. SUVs are available for one-way rental, though availability is more limited than in economy or compact categories. SUVs are large-sized vehicles and are priced higher than standard vehicle segments. You must book well ahead if you need to book in this category, especially in peak season. A higher one-way fee may also apply.
