    Great Automatic Car

    We specifically wanted an automatic because we weren’t used to driving manual overseas. Sixt had plenty of options and the car was comfortable for driving along the coast.

    We wanted to start our holiday in Split and finish in Zagreb so a one-way rental made the most sense. Booking online was straightforward and all the fees were shown before payment, which I appreciated. The car itself was almost new and very clean inside. We covered well over a thousand kilometres and it never gave us any problems. Drop-off in Zagreb was simple and the inspection was done in just a few minutes. Honestly one of the easiest car rentals I’ve had in Europe.

    Easy One-Way Rental

    Booked pickup in Zagreb and returned the car in Split. Everything was arranged before we arrived and there were no surprises when we dropped it off. Would definitely do it again.

    Clean Car, No Issues

    The car was exactly what we booked. Very clean inside and out, air conditioning worked great which was important in July. Had zero problems during our holiday.

    Holiday Made Easier

    4 April 2026
    Verified

    Travelling with two young kids means we need a decent sized car and enough luggage space. We booked an SUV with Sixt and it was exactly what we needed. Child seats were already fitted when we arrived which saved us some time. We drove around Istria for over a week and never had any issues with the vehicle. The only small downside was waiting around 20 minutes at pickup because it was busy, but once it was our turn everything moved quickly. Overall, really happy with the rental.

    The lady at the counter answered all our questions without rushing us. She explained the insurance properly which I appreciated because it’s usually confusing. Overall a really good experience.

    Perfect for Our Road Trip

    We drove from Zagreb to Plitvice, Zadar and then down to Dubrovnik. The diesel SUV was comfortable and really good on fuel. Returning it in Dubrovnik was easy too.

    Fantastic Car

    5 February 2026
    Verified

    We rented a car from Sixt for 10 days and drove from Zagreb to Plitvice, Zadar, Split and finally Dubrovnik. The whole process was much easier than we expected. Pickup at the airport was organised and the staff explained the important things without trying to upsell us too much. The car was comfortable, good on fuel and handled both the highways and smaller coastal roads really well. Returning it in Dubrovnik only took a few minutes. I’d definitely use Sixt again if we come back to Croatia.

    Better Than Expected

    First time renting with Sixt in Croatia and honestly everything went smoother than I thought. No long wait, no pressure to buy extras, and the car looked almost brand new.

    Fast Pickup at Split Airport

    Picked up the car at Split Airport and was on the road in about 15 minutes. Didn’t expect it to be that quick in the middle of summer. The car was clean and drove perfectly all week.

About the Supplier

Who is Sixt Car Rental?

Sixt is one of the leading international car rental companies, founded in 1912. Martin Sixt started the company named ‘Martin Sixt Autofahrten’ with just three vehicles. The company expanded in Germany over the years, and in 1990 they decided to go international. By the early 90s, Sixt had become the largest player in the German car rental industry. Currently, the fourth generation of the Sixt family, Alexander and Konstantin Sixt, are running the company, and they want to keep expanding in the international market.

Sixt has a significant presence in Croatia, and you can hire a Sixt car rental in any of the top destinations, such as Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Pula, Split, Rijeka, and Osijek. Sixt offers a wide range of vehicles in Croatia, from compact or mini cars to cater for a small group of 3-4 people, to spacious SUVs or vans with a capacity of 7-9 passengers and ample luggage space. If you want to attend a business meeting in style or just want elite comfort while on vacation, Sixt also has a lineup of luxury cars for you at competitive budget-friendly prices. If you book a Sixt car rental through our website, then you will get the most competitive prices for your desired car or van.
