Driving in Split: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Split.
Most visitors can use their regular licence. You may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence isn’t in English. Rental companies also require matching ID and a credit card for the deposit.
Navigating city driving
Split has coastal roads, narrow old-town lanes and busy harbour routes.
Driving near Diocletian’s Palace is restricted, so use nearby car parks. Coastal roads are simple to follow. Navigation apps guide you between beaches, the port and nearby villages.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges

Split has no local tolls, but major highways charge based on distance. There are no emissions zones. Check your rental company’s guidance if driving longer routes toward Zadar or Dubrovnik.
Parking your car in Split
Parking is busiest near the harbour and old town.
Street spaces fill quickly in peak months. Car parks near the waterfront and ferry terminal are reliable. Hotels may offer limited parking, so check availability if staying close to the centre.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in Split are increasing.
Petrol stations sit along main coastal routes. Charging points are expanding, especially near shopping areas. Apps like PlugShare help you check real-time availability.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers move slowly in the centre but quicker on open roads.
Expect tight turns near the old town and steady traffic along the coast. Scooters are common in summer, so stay alert when merging or turning. Give extra room in tourist hotspots.
