All-inclusive car rental in Split
An all-inclusive rental in Split includes full insurance with zero excess - the base for central Dalmatia, from Diocletian’s Palace to Krka National Park and the coastal road south.
Split, built around the Roman Diocletian’s Palace, is the heart of the Dalmatian coast. A car opens up the waterfalls of Krka National Park, the Cetina valley and the spectacular coastal road towards Dubrovnik, plus ferry links to islands like Hvar and Brač.
A Cardamar all-inclusive rental includes comprehensive zero-excess cover, unlimited mileage and free cancellation, with pick-up at Split Airport.

| Islands | Ferries to Hvar, Brač (book ahead in summer) |
Central Dalmatia by car
Krka National Park, with its swimmable waterfalls, is about an hour north, and the UNESCO town of Trogir sits just past the airport. The Adriatic coastal road is breathtaking but narrow and busy in summer, so allow more time than the distance suggests.
Because tight medieval lanes and busy car parks make minor scrapes common, the zero-excess cover in an all-inclusive booking is genuinely worthwhile here.
Practical tips
Split’s old town within the palace walls is pedestrian - park outside and walk in. Car ferries to the islands fill up in summer, so arrive early or book ahead.
The A1 motorway inland is tolled and fast; the coastal road is slower but scenic. The all-inclusive price includes full insurance, unlimited mileage and airport fees.

How far is Krka National Park?
About an hour north of Split - a popular day trip with swimmable waterfalls.
Is the coastal road difficult?
It is winding and busy in summer; drive calmly, and zero-excess cover removes the worry of a minor knock.
