Dubrovnik Airport guide

Flexible pickup for south Croatia road trips.

Dubrovnik Airport rentals are often used for coastal routes toward Split, Makarska, Peljesac, islands and longer Croatia itineraries. Motion Rent confirms pickup timing, one-way return, cross-border or ferry requests and any delivery cost before the reservation is finalized.

Useful for Dubrovnik to Split one-way routes and multi-city holidays.
Ferry and cross-border plans should be requested before pickup.
Choose a vehicle profile first, then send the exact route for confirmation.

Dubrovnik as the end (or start) of a Dalmatian road trip

Dubrovnik works beautifully as the final stop of a coastal itinerary — collect the car in Split, drive south along the Adriatic, and drop it near the city before flying home. The reverse works just as well for travellers landing in the south first. Since the Pelješac bridge opened, the drive stays entirely within Croatia: the road crosses to the peninsula and rejoins the mainland beyond Ston, so there is no longer any need to queue at the Neum border corridor through Bosnia and Herzegovina. Allow roughly three and a half to four hours from Split without stops — though the towns along the way argue strongly for taking a full day. Our Split to Dubrovnik road trip guide maps out the best of them.

Pickup and return at Dubrovnik Airport (Čilipi)

As a Split Airport based operator, Motion Rent arranges Dubrovnik Airport handovers on request, with the timing, meeting point and one-way details confirmed in writing before you book. The airport sits at Čilipi, around twenty minutes south of the city near Cavtat, which makes it a natural start or end point for the far south. One honest note on the city itself: Dubrovnik's old town is entirely car-free, and parking near the walls is scarce in high season. Collect or return the car at the airport, park outside the historic centre, or simply plan your Dubrovnik days on foot and save the car for everything beyond the city.

Beyond Dubrovnik by car

A car turns Dubrovnik into a base for the whole deep south. A few favourites within easy reach:

Cavtat & Konavle — a relaxed harbour town ten minutes from the airport, and the green valley behind it, dotted with village konobas and quiet coves.
Ston & Pelješac — medieval walls climbing above the salt pans, oysters straight from the bay at Mali Ston, and wine roads running the length of the peninsula.
Cross-border day trips — Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina are popular, but any border crossing needs advance approval and a Green Card, so check the FAQ and raise it when you enquire.

Compare the fleet, then ask before you book so the route, the one-way return and any border plans are all confirmed in writing.
