Driving Tips for Split
When you rent a car in Split, you give yourself access to the entire Adriatic coastline in town and beyond. Just keep these tips in mind for an easy drive:
- Headlights: In Split and all of Croatia, you must use low-beam headlights even during the day between the months of October and March.
- Sharing the road: Split has public transport throughout the city in the form of buses, and you’ll also encounter cyclists and pedestrians. Be sure to give buses the right of way and use caution when passing bus stops.
- Winter tires: Unlike some other locations where winter tires may be optional, they are required in Croatia from November through March.
- Ferries: One way to go island-hopping is to book a space on a ferry. Check with SIXT before taking your rental car on a ferry to make sure you have the proper protection.
These along with our other tips for driving in Croatia will make your trip to Split a breeze.
