Before you book
5 Things to Know Before Booking an EV Car at Dubrovnik Airport
Automatic transmission is standard for EVs
Unlike traditional rental cars in Croatia where manuals dominate, all electric vehicles come with smooth automatic gearboxes. This makes navigating Dubrovnik’s steep coastal inclines and winding roads effortless for any driver.
Match car size and luggage capacity to your group
EV models range from compact hatchbacks to spacious crossover SUVs like the Tesla Model 3 or Škoda Enyaq. Check trunk dimensions carefully when booking at DBV, especially if traveling with full-sized luggage for a family.
Map out charging stops for optimal range efficiency
Electric cars offer low running costs, but highway driving and steep terrain use battery power faster. Plan charging stops using apps like PlugShare or ELEN to easily power up along coastal motorways and near public parking garages.
Mind Old Town access and designated EV parking
Dubrovnik’s pedestrianized Old Town has strict vehicle access restrictions and high parking rates. Look for designated public parking spaces with EV charging hubs around Lapad or Gruž to combine parking with convenient charging.
Reserve early for peak summer travel
Electric vehicle fleets at Dubrovnik Airport are in high demand and limited in quantity during summer. Booking weeks in advance guarantees the best daily rates and secures your preferred EV model before sold-out periods.
