Dubrovnik car delivery
around your city stay.
Dubrovnik car delivery is offered by some cars only. The widest choice is collected at the airport; delivery to a city address depends on the selected offer and rental company.
Exact address
The rental company shown on the offer provides the handover address. The offer identifies the available collection service.
Reachable phone
The booking phone number, including its country code, must be reachable throughout the rental and on the day before collection.
Returning the car
The return location belongs to the chosen arrangement. A different city or delivery address may involve different conditions and charges.
Where can I collect near the Old Town?
A stay near the Old Town does not give a rental car automatic access to the surrounding streets. The special traffic regime covers Grad, Pile-Kono and Ploče iza Grada from 1 March to 30 November. Rental vehicles are subject to it.
Visitor access is available through a prepaid parking reservation at Pile or Žičara lower plateau, registered private accommodation parking, or qualifying hotel access. The reservation route allows entry no more than 20 minutes before the slot and departure within 20 minutes afterwards.
The company shown on the rental offer is the contact for the collection address and time. City delivery does not itself authorise entry into a restricted street.
For a visitor staying near the walls, the accommodation address and vehicle handover point can therefore be different. The rental voucher supplies the meeting details for the booking; there is no universal Old Town gate handover.
Parking in Dubrovnik is a separate cost and access decision. A place used for collection is not automatically an overnight parking space. Sanitat’s Pile and Žičara lower-plateau car parks are reservation-only visitor options inside the zone.
Can my car be delivered to my hotel?
Lapad hotel delivery is available only where the chosen rental company accepts the address. The company confirms which hotel, apartment entrance or car park it can serve.
The rental company shown on the offer handles the handover. The hotel handles its own parking arrangements. A hotel booking and a car reservation are separate services, even when collection takes place at the property.
The rental company sets the delivery charge for the selected car and address.
The city search also includes cars collected at the airport. That wider selection can be relevant to a Lapad stay when the available delivery cars do not meet the required dates, transmission or passenger capacity.
The selected car’s page shows its transmission and seat capacity. Driver age and experience requirements can differ even between similar models, so the conditions belong to the offer rather than the vehicle name.
The rental agreement identifies the supplier and the agreed service. Dubrovnik Car Hire compares offers and does not operate a Lapad rental office or own the vehicles.
Where do I collect at Gruž?
An arrival at Gruž is compatible with a city-delivery enquiry, but the listing alone does not establish a rental office inside the port or a handover beside a ship. The company shown on the offer supplies the agreed address.
A reachable telephone number is a requirement of the rental terms for collection, including the day before pick-up. It gives the rental company a way to communicate about the arranged collection.
The fuel level at collection sets the return requirement. A lower level at return is charged at the rental company’s rate; additional fuel is not reimbursed.
Can I return in another city?
One-way offers from Dubrovnik have been available for returns in Split, Zagreb, Zadar and Pula. Availability depends on the dates and selected car. A one-way fee is not established by a same-city price.
The offer and rental company determine the return arrangement. Extensions require advance notice to the rental agent under the rental terms.
The specific handover address is part of the return arrangement. The company shown on the offer is the contact for that address and any delivery or one-way charge.
The minimum chargeable period is 24 hours. A morning collection and return the following afternoon count as two rental days, even when the car is delivered rather than collected from an office.
The collection document checks cover the original licence, its validity and the required payment card. City delivery does not remove those requirements.

How do I reach the airport?
The airport collection points are near Čilipi. A visitor already staying in Dubrovnik can travel there by the official Platanus shuttle or by Libertas public bus lines 11, 27 and 38, which the airport lists as daily services to and from the city. The departure and stop for a particular journey depend on the operator’s timetable.
The airport’s transport information gives a distance of 22.5 km from Dubrovnik, with an average drive of 30 to 35 minutes and up to an hour in summer. These are road journey estimates, not a bus timetable. The airport lists rental offices and a rental parking point; the selected company’s voucher identifies the actual handover location.
City collection questions
Can a car be delivered to a Lapad hotel?
Some cars offer city delivery. The rental company shown on the offer determines whether it serves the hotel address and what the delivery costs.
Does city delivery include a Gruž port office?
A delivery option does not establish a office inside the port. The rental company supplies the meeting address for the booking.
Can a delivery car enter the Old Town traffic zone?
Delivery is not an exemption from the traffic regime. Authorised access depends on the relevant parking or accommodation arrangement, not simply on a car being rented.
Can collection and return be in different Croatian cities?
One-way offers have been available from Dubrovnik to Split, Zagreb, Zadar and Pula. The selected dates and car determine availability and the arrangement.
