Car rental companies in Dubrovnik
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental companies in Dubrovnik and across Croatia, providing you with many pickup and return points in and around the city. The central and convenient station for many is at Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) in Čilipi, with active counters coordinated to flight schedules. Additionally, you'll find rental offices in the Gruž ferry port area — an excellent choice for those arriving or departing by cruise — as well as around the Old Town, Lapad, and Pile Gate. This allows you to choose where to pick up and return the car, and even consider picking up in Dubrovnik and returning in another Croatian city, subject to supplier availability and policy. Since the Old Town is almost entirely car-free, and parking near the walls is limited and expensive, many prefer to pick up the car on the day of departure from the city or at a branch outside the historic center. If you're planning a trip along Dalmatia, the road connections from Dubrovnik are particularly convenient, and access outside the city is simpler when picking up the car at the airport.
Operating hours vary between suppliers and branches, so it's important to check in advance that the station you chose is open at the exact time of your arrival. Airport branches typically offer longer operating hours, while city branches may have limited afternoon and weekend hours. You can arrange pickup or return outside of hours, sometimes for an additional fee; it's advisable to confirm this during booking. During peak seasons (May–October), demand is high, so it's recommended to reserve the type of car and preferred station in advance. Remember to bring a valid driver's license, an international driver's license, and a physical credit card in the driver's name to provide guarantees. Include the flight number in the reservation to allow for adjustments to delays, and check in advance the fuel policy, mileage, and additional driver conditions as per the terms sent to you. If you intend to cross borders to neighboring countries such as Montenegro or Bosnia-Herzegovina, notify us in advance to ensure appropriate approvals and coverage.
FAQ – Car rental in Dubrovnik
What is the minimum age for renting a car, and is there an extra charge for young drivers?
The minimum rental age in Dubrovnik through Auto Europe Israel with ACTIVE is 21; in most cases, drivers under 25 will be charged a daily young driver fee. At least one year of driving experience is required (and sometimes more for certain categories). Age conditions and final charges are confirmed in the booking voucher.
Is an Israeli driver's license sufficient, or is an international license required?
Driver's License: In Dubrovnik through Auto Europe Israel with ACTIVE, you must present an original valid Israeli license, and usually also an international driving permit (IDP according to the 1968 Convention) alongside the Israeli license, as suppliers may refuse rental if the license is not solely in Latin script. Additionally, a passport and a credit card in the main driver's name must be presented.
What does the basic insurance package include, and what additional insurance is recommended?

Typically, windows, tires, mirrors, the underside, and the key are not included. It's recommended to consider extensions such as reducing/eliminating the deductible (Super CDW), coverage for windows and tires, and extended roadside assistance. The exact deductible and coverages are detailed in the Auto Europe Israel voucher and ACTIVE's contract.
What is the fuel policy - do I need to return the car with a full tank?
Fuel Policy: In Dubrovnik with ACTIVE through Auto Europe Israel, the common policy is full-to-full — you receive the car with a full tank and return it full. Returning with a less than full tank incurs charges for the fuel and service fee according to the supplier's rate.

What documents are required for car pickup at the airport?

Tips for car rental in Dubrovnik
Heading to rent a car abroad? At Auto Europe Israel, we've gathered four short tips to help you book smart, avoid surprises at the pick-up counter, and travel with peace of mind — from the booking stage to the return.
Ensure a credit card for a security deposit
A physical international credit card in the main driver's name with a sufficient limit is required. Debit/prepaid cards are generally not accepted for deposit. Ensure the card is valid for the entire rental period.
Understand coverage and deductible amount
Check what the basic insurance includes (CDW/TP), the amount of the deductible, and the cost to reduce or eliminate the deductible. Document the car's condition at the start and end of the rental and keep documents.
Confirm border crossings and ferries in advance
Traveling to neighboring countries or islands/ferries often requires prior approval and may include restrictions and fees. Driving without approval may void insurance coverage—check and add it to the reservation.
Arrange pickup/return outside of hours
Pickup or return outside operating hours may incur additional charges and require a dedicated procedure (e.g., key box). Check the branch hours, coordinate with flight times, and allow for transfer time.
