Car rental at the Dubrovnik Airport

Dubrovnik is located on the southernmost tip of Croatia's Adriatic coast. This medieval city with its historical center is certainly world's most famous destination in Croatia and one of the best known in the Mediterranean. Therefore, Dubrovnik is the ideal starting point to explore this region with a hired car. Are you flying to Dubrovnik DBV Airport and want to explore Dubrovnik and surroundings on your own with a hired car? Then it makes sense to hire your car directly at Dubrovnik Airport. Compare the prices of rental cars from Dubrovnik Airport with Driveboo and book your hired car conveniently online in an instant, benefiting from a comprehensive service and excellent advice.

Unfortunately, you can't go swimming much in Croatia in winter, as the temperatures are too cold for that. However, you can take in all the more of the culture for that. The main sights are the city wall, the Franciscan monastery and museum, the Dominican monastery and museum, the Rector's Palace (which now houses a museum), the Sponza Palace (only from the outside, the entrance fee of 25 HRK is not worth it) and the Cathedral.
Furthermore, you should not miss the view from the top station of the cable car, even if the price for the round trip ticket with 94 HRK is quite steep. If you are lucky enough to have a hired car, you can drive all the way to the top station and save yourself the exorbitant cost of the cable car ride. Alternatively, you can also climb the mountain on foot. With a hired car, they can get anywhere independently and flexibly and can even explore neighboring towns of Dubrovnik without any problems.

Coming to Dubrovnik by car is highly recommended regarding the itinerary along the coast, but you have to be aware that especially during the peak season there is an extreme shortage of parking spaces.
If you arrive with your own car and want to park it for more than a few hours, you can park it in the (probably the only) large parking garage near the old town, namely in the Zagrebačka ulica. But beware, here lurks the rip-off: There are day and weekly prices, which are significantly cheaper than the hourly ticket. But one may not drive for it normally into the parking garage and pull at the entrance a ticket but must buy a prepaid ticket. There must also be 15 minutes between purchasing the ticket and entering the parking garage (as of August 2013). The normal hourly price is 2,60 € (about 20 HRK), so that one pays for 23 hours of parking over 60 € (day ticket 29,00 €)!

Do you want to get to know the original Croatia? Then why not leave the sun and sand behind for a day and head off in your hired car along Croatia's picturesque coast to the most remote places where you can enjoy the true hospitality of the Croatians. A very special side trip is the small village of Molunat, near the border with Montenegro, from where you have a breathtaking view of the green shimmering sea. But also the restored castle complex Sokol Grad in Dunave is worth a trip because of its charming landscape, which is almost reminiscent of Tuscany.
North of Dubrovnik, on the other hand, the Le mura di Ston await you, an approximately 5 km long wall with 40 watchtowers between the towns of Maliston and Velikiston, which was once built, to protect the salt mines used for salt production, and a pretty Naval Museum in Orebić, from where you can cross over in your hired car to the offshore island of Korčula to continue your journey.
