How pickup at Split Airport works

Motion Rent uses a meet-and-greet handover at Split Airport rather than a rental counter inside the terminal, so there is no desk queue and no shuttle bus to a remote lot. Once your booking is confirmed, you receive the handover details in advance: where to meet after you exit arrivals and how to recognise your contact. The car is brought to the airport for your flight, the paperwork is checked on the spot and you drive off.

  • Have your booking confirmation, driving licence and passport or ID card ready.
  • Send your flight number in advance so the handover can follow your actual arrival time.
  • Late-night and early-morning arrivals work the same way — agree the timing when you book.

Getting out of the airport by car

Split Airport sits on the coast at Kaštela, next to Resnik, roughly 25 minutes' drive from Split city centre. The exit road joins the D409, which runs inland to the A1 motorway, while the coastal road through the Kaštela bay leads east towards Split. A few direction tips for your first minutes behind the wheel:

  • Heading to Trogir? Turn west — the old town is around 10 minutes away.
  • Heading to Split, Omiš or Makarska? Follow the coastal road east, or take the bypass above Kaštela to skip town traffic.
  • Driving to Zadar, Plitvice or Dubrovnik? Take the D409 up to the A1 interchange and join the motorway — southbound it connects towards the Pelješac bridge route to Dubrovnik.

Why book direct with a local operator at SPU

Booking directly with a local Split Airport operator keeps the process short and transparent. Motion Rent confirms the final quote in writing — including delivery, extras and deposit — before any payment, so there are no surprises at handover. If the airport is not convenient, the car can be delivered to your hotel, villa or marina instead, and communication is in English throughout. Start by comparing the fleet, check the rules in the FAQ, or read the full Split Airport guide. Travelling without a credit card? See the options for renting without a credit card before you book.
