Value for money

Convenient pickups
28 June 2026Absolutely recommended! The XL car pickup system is very efficient, with the inspection and contract completed in the parking lot. From the first moment, everything worked perfectly. The pickup at the airport was excellently organized by kind staff. We were picked up directly in front of the terminal in a shuttle bus and arrived at the rental station in less than five minutes. The staff were very friendly and competent, and taking over the vehicle was quick and uncomplicated. The car was not very new, with 100,000 km, but it did its job perfectly and was in a very clean and well-maintained condition. The return also went absolutely smoothly and even faster than the pickup. Overall, a good experience.

Professional support
15 June 2026Fantastic and friendly staff, but there was a big queue at collection. No issues with the rental or return, though I may have received a camera ticket and wonder how that is handled. The car was clean, in good condition, and we received exactly the vehicle we had booked. The booking process was smooth. The professional, and efficient customer support was very helpful. Overall, we were very satisfied with the car and the service and would happily recommend croatiarentalcars.

Easy and straightforward rental process
21 May 2026Easy to locate for pickup and drop off. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the process was simple and straightforward. The car was comfortable, clean, and fit our needs perfectly. We are currently awaiting the release of our deposit back to my account, but overall it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended! Best regards.

Great value and service
10 May 2026Overall very pleased, though return directions were confusing. The car was a Citroen C1, in the same category. It was still quite new and drove without any issues. The rental rate was very good, so we were able to choose the all-inclusive insurance policy. The staff was very fast, so we are very satisfied with the service. We will certainly use XL car rental again.

Quick and reliable rental
8 May 2026The rental was generally satisfactory. The staff were kind and handled everything quickly during the pickup and return process, so I am very satisfied. Everything was okay. The car was worth the price paid, booking was just as easy and quick, the car was new and in perfect condition, and the cleanliness was excellent. I think I can trust and choose this company again next time.

Low price & fast service
21 April 2026XL rent a car was excellent. The rental cost was the lowest I have ever paid. The location is very convenient. The car was in excellent condition and had only 10,000 km.! Very fast when I collected the car and the same at drop-off. No senseless attempts to sell extra insurance; I showed them the cover I bought online so there was no need to buy another. A very pleasant experience with absolutely no problem.

Helpful staff and wide car selection
16 March 2026The staff was very helpful and competent. The car was brand new, and return was very easy and quick. Everything else was good; the car was fine and had good air conditioning. Nothing but praise for the friendly customer support and the kind agents at the desk in Split. I highly recommend booking with Croatia rental cars for a good price.

Fast and friendly service
16 March 2026The rental experience was very good; an automatic vehicle would be a plus. Communication on WhatsApp would be better, especially on arrival. This is the best car rental we have ever had! Great vehicles. Extremely fast process for pickup and drop-off. Uncomplicated, quick, very friendly, exemplary, and perfect!

Quick and smooth pickup
2 February 2026Interesting price and no problem collecting the car. The supplier office and parking lot was easy to find close to the train station. The rental company staff was really friendly and helpful. They guided us through the process with clear communication. The pickup itself was very quick and smooth, and we even received a full tank and a clean interior. The return was even faster and allowed us to leave the island without any stress.
