Everything was fast and properly done. They catched us at the airport, althoug they are really close to the airport, you can almost go by walking. "Mechanicaly" the car was Nice, the only bad point that we can say, and pay attention, is the TIRES. When we enter the car, I felt something strange in the car, the we stopped, I checked the pressure, every tire was at 1.6 of inflation! This is dangerous, please AVAX pay more attention to this. We have to commit to not have make any damage to your cars, but at least you have to commit to us, that you give us a car on conditions to drive safely. That’s the only reason you get 4 stars instead of 5 – sorry, it’s just to encourage you to improve, no big deal! Thank you!

Kastela Marina is a picturesque meet-and-greet pickup location set along the shores of the Kaštela Bay (Kaštelanski zaljev), a sheltered inlet between Split and Trogir. The name "Kastela" refers to seven small fortified towns — Kaštel Štafilić, Novi, Stari, Lukšić, Kambelovac, Gomilica, and Sućurac — each built between the 15th and 17th centuries by noble Split families to defend against Ottoman raids.
Our Avax officer will meet you directly at the agreed marina location and hand over the vehicle on the spot, making pickup seamless whether you have just arrived by boat or are staying in one of the area's waterfront apartments. The marina is perfectly placed for day trips along the Split Riviera, with Trogir's UNESCO Old Town just 8 km to the west and Split city centre 15 km to the east.
The Kaštela Bay is a calm, family-friendly stretch of coast with long pebbly beaches, crystal-clear shallow water, and an unhurried pace of life. Renting a car here gives you immediate access to Split Airport (5 km), the A1 motorway (10 km), and the entire Dalmatian coast — from Šibenik and Krka National Park in the north to Dubrovnik in the south.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the stunning Cathedral of St. Lawrence, a Venetian loggia, and a maze of medieval streets on a small island connected to the mainland by a drawbridge.
A dramatic medieval fortress perched on a rocky ridge between two mountains above Split, famous as a filming location for Game of Thrones. Offers panoramic views stretching from the mountains to the sea.
Seven connected beach towns along a calm bay, ideal for families. Each Kaštela town has its own pebble beach and historic fortified tower right at the water's edge.
Croatia's second-largest city, built around the 4th-century Diocletian's Palace. Stroll the Riva promenade, explore the palace basement, and enjoy the vibrant café scene.
The coastal D8 road runs directly through all seven Kaštela towns and can be congested in summer, especially around the Trogir bridge. For faster travel to Split or towards the motorway, use the D8 bypass or hop onto the A1 via the Klis interchange. Parking in individual Kaštela towns is free and plentiful along the waterfront. Split Airport is just 5 km east — ideal for last-minute drop-offs or pickups.
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.
