Frequently asked questions.

Car hire.

Q. Should I hire a car when I arrive at the Airport?
A. I defiantly think you should go to the accommodation first. I would suggest that you only hire a car for specific days out. The car could then be delivered to you in Trogir, usually within half an hour of ordering. Public transport or tours will take you to any of the main attractions.

Q. If I do hire a car will I be able to park close to the Venetian Tower?
A. Trogir is a walled city with narrow alleyways and no roads. You will be able to find somewhere to park but it will probably be twenty minutes walk away. For shorter periods you can park in the car park just over the Venetian footbridge, but I can be expensive.

Q. Where is the best place to hire a car?
A. My guests inform me that it is cheaper to hire a car in Croatia, rather than booking it online. There are many car hire places at the Airport. I have negotiated a 5% discount Porto, just over the long bridge in Trogir. They will deliver the car to you in Trogir within about half an hour and you can claim your 5% discount by quoting Dalmatiansun.
