Zadar Airport Guide

Car Hire

Zadar Airport is the gateway to Croatia’s Adriatic coast, the Kornati archipelago, the Dalmatian mountains and the historical city of Zadar. It sits just over seven miles southeast of Zadar, with car rental in Zadar Airport the quickest way to access the city. Self-drive is also the best way to explore the rest of the Dalmatian region. Shuttle buses take longer to reach the city centre, while taxis are available at the airport’s taxi rank.

Who to Book With
A number of recognised car hire agents have counters in the rent a car area found just outside of the arrivals hall. Suppliers with presence here include Hertz, Sixt and National as well as a few local outfitters. Vehicles can be collected in a designated area of the airport’s car park. Check rates online before you make your selection for the best deals.

Need to Know Essentials
In order to drive off in your vehicle you will need to present the following:

- A valid UK driver’s licence
- A credit card, preferably the one used to make the booking
- An additional form of identification, such as a passport
- Proof of booking

Driving
The historical walled old city is completely pedestriansed, though parking spaces can be found alongside the walls as well as near the ferry terminal. The coastal D8 road passes through the city before travelling south along the coast. This is a toll-free route, as is the D502 that links the airport to the city centre. The nearby A1 motorway is a toll route and payments must be made in Croatian kuna, euros or by credit card. Petrol stations in Zadar also accept credit cards for payment, though visitors should carry some Croatian kuna, as not all cards will be accepted.
