GOOD experience/ price with AVAX…
I had an excellent experience with AVAX car rental company from start to finish. The booking process was simple and transparent, with no hidden fees or surprises as long you get full insurance from them which is not expensive. When I arrived Dubronik Bojan send me whatsapp message and video where to get the car location. HE was friendly, professional, and ready to assist right away.
The car itself was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It drove smoothly from Dubronik to Mostar back and forth (3days) and made my trip much more comfortable and enjoyable. I also appreciated how quick and hassle-free both the pick-up and return processes were.
Customer service really stood out—they were responsive, helpful, and genuinely cared about making my experience a positive one. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable and stress-free car rental, and I will gladly use their services again in the future.

I recommend Avax wholeheartedly
I recommend Avax wholeheartedly. We came to them having had a very bad experience with another car rental company Carwiz in Zagreb, reviewed on this site separately. We’d had to walk away in some despair, still needing a car to continue our trip and wondering if we’d have to rethink our plans and potentially lose accommodation bookings we’d made. Fortunately within an hour Avax had offered us a straightforward, no nonsense rental with no hidden costs or last minute complications which met all our needs. Though more expensive than our original quote from Carwiz, which had turned out to be a fantasy anyway, Avax’s price felt fair and honest for the service and was still a third cheaper than some other companies we tried. Throughout the process the agents we dealt with were polite, efficient and communicated well with us, to ensure we had all the information we needed for smooth handovers. We got a car that perfectly suited our needs, in good condition and we were able to travel on comfortably and confidently to eventually drop the car at Split airport 10 days later. Drop off was easy. They gave us some last minute flexibility on timing so we didn’t have to stress about being charged for being late if traffic was worse than we thought, which we really appreciated, and they even made sure to give us a lift to the airport so we didn’t have to walk 10 minutes in the heat.

Highly recommended
Highly recommended. Fantastic helpful staff, transparency in prices, clarity on the benefits of buying the Premium insurance, flexibility on returning car to a different location. I booked separate rentals in 2 locations in June 2025 - Dubrovnik and Split - in both cases returning to a different location.

Last minute great decision to rent a car.
We arrived for the day off of a cruise ship. We wanted to rent a car for a few hours to drive down the coast from Split. Avax was quick to deliver what we needed. The car was newer and drove extremely well. The staff were professional and friendly. Our overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend Avax rent a car.

Very unpleasant and unprofessional in Split.
Very unpleasant and unprofessional experience with Avax Rent a Car at Split downtown. Hired a car in Dubrovnik, paid the premium insurance which supposedly covered all damage to the car. Car got a flat tyre near Split. Was told to bring it in and they would replace the car. When I arrived, they said I could only have another car if I paid MORE insurance. Showed them their contract which states any replacement car has all the benefits carried over from the original hire (including insurance). Manager was very rude and refused to give me the replacement car without me paying the insurance AGAIN for the remaining days. Emailed the complaints department at Avax, but they have not replied to my email or refunded me the money they fraudently charged me. Beware - looks like they are happy to rip off tourists and ignore their own contract.
Edit to add - Amazing! Only days after leaving a negative review, Avax is able to respond on here, but almost 20 days after sending a complaint to their official email address, still no response. I think this just goes to show the level of customer care by this unprofessional company. Then again, why am I surprised? They clearly make up rules as they go along (nothing on 'insurance only covers one event' in the contract. In fact, the wording of the contract is quite clear that this is NOT the case), so why should I expect them to respond within 15 days as per the automatic response I received? Carry on Avax, you're doing a great job proving to everyone how terrible you are.
Edit, edit: sure Avax - why don't you confirm the email address I should reach out to you on? I'd hate for my email to get 'lost' again, or you have some other 'technical issue' which prevents you from receiving it. Or will I be ignored again?
Final note; Ignored it is - I think this sums up Avax's customer service perfectly.

Dear John,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent experience with Avax Rent a Car in Split. We have thoroughly reviewed your case and would like to clarify a few points.
During your rental period, the vehicle was returned to us with two instances of damage, in addition to the flat tire. As you had opted for premium insurance, this coverage was applied to the original vehicle for the scratches and flat tire issue. When a replacement vehicle was provided, as per our policy, premium insurance covers only one major damage incident. Therefore, for the new car, you were given the option to leave a deposit as security, which is standard practice in such cases.
Regarding the interaction with our team, our officer Vedran has an excellent reputation and has not received any complaints in his 10 years with Avax Rent a Car. We regret if there was any misunderstanding or if you found the communication unsatisfactory. We always strive to provide professional service to all of our customers.
If you have further concerns or require clarification, we encourage you to reach out to us directly. Our goal is to resolve the matter fairly and in line with our policies.
Sincerely,
Avax Rent a Car Team

Very good and fair car rental
I highly recommend the car rental. We were looking for a rental company that doesn't require a credit card and deposit because we didn't have a credit card. We decided on Avax, it was enough to buy only premium insurance without any deposit/cards.The service is very nice and contact with the agent and the rental itself was provided all the time. In the future, when we are back in Croatia, we will definitely decide on Avax again. The car we received was practically new with very low mileage, it was well-kept and clean inside. I highly recommend it, there's no hidden cost. Thank a lot for good rental experience 🙂!

Simple and Painless Experience
Fantastic experience dealing with Eugen and Avax. We flew into Zagreb and picked up the car at 1.30am, our flight was delayed an hour but that was no problem as Eugen was tracking the flight.
Before arriving there was clear information via WhatsApp on where we'd meet and a video of the car so we knew what we were looking for. After a couple of signatures and payment we were off in 5 minutes. Before we left Eugen made it clear if we had any problems or questions to get in touch any time, day or night.
On the day of returning the car we were provided with an exact drop off pin which made heading back to the airport much less stressful and Eugen was waiting for us there even though we were early.
Another signiture to say we'd handed the car back and everything was done.
If you want no hassle car hire I'd definitely recommend them, no stupid deposits or holds on funds, no mileage limits or other nitpicking small print.
Will definitely be using them next year.

CAR HIRE DUBROVNIK AIRPORT
Great value for money, very good communication with AVAX. Car was very clean and in very good condition with no faults . Car return was easy and with a lift to departures after drop off. We used premium insurance for that extra protection again good value. Would recommend to anyone wanting to hire a car at Dubrovnik Airport.

Great Experience
We rented a car for a day at Avax for our trip to the Krka National Park. We loved the experience. Rino, an associate at Axax, was extremely helpful to explain the process, walk through, and return. He also gave his number and be available in case we needed help. It was a pleasant experience. The car was clean. I highly recommend Avax.

I wish every car rental was like this
This was probably the smoothest car rental experience ever. We made the reservation online, went to their airport office, gave our IDs, paid and were good to go. No deposits (although we paid for extra insurance which was quite affordable and recommended), no hidden fees, no scams. We even delivered the car after office hours and just left the keys in a locker, without extra charges. We searched a lot for car rental companies in Croatia and most of them were demanding big credit cards deposits, crazy cross-border fees or excessive pricing. Avax had none of those and we were extremelly happy with our decision!

A smooth experience with Avax
We had a really smooth process with Avax. Elvira was really helpful, getting in touch by WhatApp a day before we arrived so we had her contact details. She was waiting for us at the terminal in Split and took us to their office (a 5 minute drive away). We dropped the car back with Petra in Dubrovnik which went equally as well. We had the full insurance cover, which meant they took it back without an inspection.
