Your Guide to Renting a Car in Solin
Written by Vedran, Avax Rent a Car
Solin is a town of great historical significance situated at the foot of the Mosor mountain range, just 5 km northeast of Split at the source of the crystal-clear Jadro River. In Roman times, Solin was known as Salonae — the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and one of the largest cities in the entire Roman Empire, with a population that once exceeded 60,000 people. Today, the extensive ruins of ancient Salona are among Croatia's most important archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage candidate.
Our Avax meet-and-greet service in Solin provides convenient car pickup for guests staying in the area or arriving via the Split region without going into the city centre. The town is strategically located near the A1 motorway entrance, making it an ideal collection point for guests travelling by bus or train who want to continue their journey by car.
Beyond its ancient heritage, Solin has the natural advantage of the Jadro River, whose clear spring water has supplied Split with drinking water since Roman times. The riverside park offers pleasant walks, and the medieval Klis Fortress dramatically overlooks the town from a rocky ridge just 4 km away. The town centre has good supermarkets, fuel stations, and restaurants, making it a practical base for exploring central Dalmatia.
Nearby Attractions
Ancient Salona (Salonae)
The extensive ruins of the Roman capital of Dalmatia, including an amphitheatre, temples, basilicas, and the early Christian martyrs' memorial complex. One of the most significant Roman sites in the Adriatic.
Klis Fortress
A spectacular hilltop fortress perched on a narrow rocky ridge between Mosor and Kozjak mountains. A Game of Thrones filming location (Meereen) offering panoramic views of the entire Split Riviera.
Split City Centre
Diocletian's Palace, the Riva promenade, and the Cathedral of St. Domnius are just 5 km south via the direct road. The short distance makes Solin a practical and quieter alternative to staying in Split proper.
Jadro River Spring
The source of the Jadro River emerges at the foot of the Mosor mountain range as a powerful karst spring, surrounded by lush greenery and a riverside park popular for picnics and walks.
Driving Tips
Solin is one of the best-connected locations in the Split area. The A1 motorway entrance at Solin gives direct access north to Zagreb (4 hours) and south to Dubrovnik (3.5 hours). For Split city centre, the D8 and D1 roads are quick and direct. Note that Solin town centre can be busy during weekday commute hours (7:30–9:00 AM and 4:00–6:00 PM) due to the industrial area nearby. The Jadro River area has free parking.
Our Split office is well-connected to local neighbourhoods including Bačvice, Meje, Gripe, Spinut, Žnjan, Mejaši, making it easy to reach your accommodation or explore the city and its surroundings.
