Smooth journey
17 September 2026Overall, it was very satisfactory. I did not quite understand the deposit procedure. But the quote was good and the car drove well throughout the trip. The staff were kind and friendly. I would definitely use the same service again. Great experience, thank you.

Easy car collection
13 July 2026The same guy at arrival and return was new to the job but was very helpful and effortless. Good car and easy pickup. I scored the drop-off lower because there were limited parking spaces and I hope they improve it in the future. I would certainly use them again.

Great value & service
7 May 2026Great price and great hire. Very friendly staff at the station. I booked a smaller car to avoid parking issues. The car was spotless. Return was without excessive formalities. Perfect; the two people in charge contributed a lot to this. A very good experience, to be repeated.

Great travel experience
1 March 2026Hired a car from AvantCar at Zagreb Airport. The entire car rental experience was smooth and so was our road trip, all thanks to a reliable car. No complaints, just top-notch service. Will book again for our next visit.

Affordable Prices
12 February 2026Good vehicle, good service plus found the cheapest rates in Split. The car was clean and comfortable. It was exactly what we needed for our travel plans. Delivery and collection from Split were easy, and the people at the desk were very good.
