Bad customer service but good value
Pros: Car was comfortable and the price was right.
Cons: If you want to spend an hour and a half at a Hertz, this is the place for you. Staff was late to open the office and everyone was gone when we tried to return the car. They said it would take 10-15 minutes because they were “at the car wash”, but it was 25 minutes later before all 3 employees came back.
7.6 Good

Croatian Roadtrip
Pros: I liked how it was overall quite affordable. Hertz also had luxury saloons available. Unlimited kilometres
Cons: Last minute “necessary insurance” that clerk seemed to sell us. The car was dirty.
6.8 Good

Cons: Giving back was an unacceptable procedure: no contact person, no designated parking slot for car, was informed that I would have to park it in a public parking slot but none was free...

Pros: the cars were clean and the queues at the counters reasonable
Cons: the first car was a Peugeot 208 with automatic gearbox, which clutch was quite out of order (impossible to climb !) ; then I had a tire puncture and the spare wheel was also flat ! The different numbers of the Avis agency in Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar) didn't answer, even it it was in the week and in the middle of the afternoon, so I was obliged to call the roadside assistancve to my expenses (including a new tire), on cash. After that I changed the car in Split but to a smaller one (smart for4) but at the same price (!)
I received the assurance from Avis that my additional expenses (due to the puncture) will be decreased from my final bill, but when I gave back the car (in Zadar) that was impossible, but they told me that I will anyway receive the reimbursement in the next days. Wait and see
3.6 Mediocre

Very bad experience with Avis
Pros: We booked a car with Avis in Dubrovnik 2 days before the day we were starting our trip. But when we got there, there were no car waiting for us. Then they told that they had a partner company (MACK) and we could rent a car with them and return to Avis in Venice ( our last city). I asked specifically to return the car in Mestre-Venice, where I booked my hotel. But when I arrived in Mestre, the mananger just said yhat it was not a car from Avis and "that is not his problem". That I should call Dubrovnik to answer my problem. Finally after more discussion, he said me to go to Avis in airport and they could help me. He was very impolite and not even tried to help me. I'm sure I will never use Avis again.
Cons: As told before

Hidden costs and incompetent staff!
Pros: The car itself was great.
Spacious, clean and nice to drive.
Cons: Having received a quote from Kayak.com we were led to believe that our car rental for two days in Croatia would total at $149. There were no damages to the car, we returned it on time and with EXTRA fuel in it than at pick-up, yet $398 has been charged to my credit card.
There are so many hidden fees, both from Kayak and Avis that we will never use either companies again!
We initially hired the car to save on flights but it has worked out much much more expensive.
To top it all off, there was huge confusion at pick up with both members of staff at the Dubrovnik branch. We were almost charged for one weeks hire by the desk assistant and then we were almost charged for a full tank of fuel when the car was given to us with half a tank in it. Ridiculous!

Pros: They were open from8am to 7pm. The car was fine and drove well.
Cons: Not being able to be picked up at the hotel as other rental places did that at no charge. They want $50 euros to pick us up. They put 950 euros on my credit card in case of any damage even though I purchased insurance on your web site. Then their web site was down when we arrived back and could not give me anything to be sure what ws charged to my account.. They wanted me to purchase a 50 euro green card because we were going across the border and we did not need it. Thank heavens I did not buy it.

Absolutely horrendous
Cons: Made a reservation and had a rental fee price of $130, and the reservation specifically said "no one way fee." They are now charging me over $2000 - yes, TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS - and saying it is because of a one-way fee. They can even look at my original reservation and tell me that it specifically states no one way fee! I have talked to at least 10 people at Budget and "no one can help me." I now have to file a claim through my credit card - who says this happens all of the time with Budget. NEVER AGAIN!

Top tips for renting a car in Dubrovnik
- Explore the scenic coastline, the countryside of Croatia or the many attractions like the Dubrovnik Cathedral, which offers a view of the iconic rooftops of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Which better way to see all of this and more than with the convenience and flexibility of your own hire car?
- Dubrovnik Airport is over 12 miles from the city center, so pick up a car upon your arrival to start your time in Dubrovnik hassle-free. There is a car hire center at the airport that includes agencies like Sixt or Europcar that offer vehicles in all shapes and sizes. Signs indicate the way out of the airport and the scenic D8 is the fastest road to Dubrovnik center, running alongside the coast and offering spectacular views during the ride.
- Driving in Dubrovnik bears the usual challenges that come with most cities. Parking spots are rare and there are many one-way roads, making navigating a tad more difficult. Rent a satnav with your hire car to make maneuvering through the streets much easier. Driving in the Old Town is not permitted except for residents and emergency vehicles, so steer clear of that area. It is generally best to park the car in the outskirts of the city and walk inside or take the bus, as Dubrovnik is better explored on foot.
- In the whole of Croatia, it is required to leave the headlights on day and night. It is also strictly forbidden to turn right at an intersection when the light is red, and there can be severe fines for talking on the phone while driving. At intersections without traffic lights, right of way belongs to the car coming from the right, except when there is a “yield” sign (an upside down triangle) for the right side street.
- Book your rental car in Dubrovnik at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Dubrovnik are around 65% cheaper than other car types, on average

Where are the best places to park in Dubrovnik?
Parking spaces are metered outside the city walls (driving inside the walls is not permitted), and tickets need to be bought with the exact amount of coins. Alternatively, tickets can also be issued by the hotel reception, corner shops, or with your mobile phone. Rates depend on the parking zone, so check on the signs for which zone you are in. There are also parking garages available like the Ilijina Glavica or the free parking lot in Babin Kuk, from which a bus takes 20 minutes to get to the Old Town.
