01

What is a good car hire price at Dubrovnik Airport for November?

For November 2026 at Dubrovnik Airport, use $24 a day as your benchmark for a Compact, the Volkswagen Golf size, booked around a month before your trip. At that lead time in November 2026, an Economy car such as a Volkswagen Polo averages $17 a day, while an Intermediate car such as a Skoda Octavia averages $53. In the last 2 weeks before pickup, the Compact car averages $22 a day, which is $2 less a day. Use the price checker to compare your quote for your exact dates.

NEXT · YOUR QUESTIONS
02

Should I book Dubrovnik Airport car hire now or wait until nearer my trip?

For November 2026 at Dubrovnik Airport, consider waiting until around 2 weeks before your trip: a Compact car averages $22 a day then, which is $2 less a day than around a month before. Across all months of the year, a Compact car averaged $56 a day around 9 months before your trip, from 3,578 prices, compared with $29 a day around 2 weeks before, so the broader pattern also favours waiting. Across the 395 airports we track car hire prices for, 65% of our customers booked within a month of pickup, so booking nearer your trip is common.

03

Which company is cheapest at Dubrovnik Airport, and what do I give up?

Flizzr is cheapest at Dubrovnik Airport for a Compact car, averaging $25 a day over the last 12 months from 936 prices, but you need a credit card for its deposit. Flizzr has an airport desk and scores 91/100 from 30 reviews, so the lower price does not mean choosing an unscored supplier. Sixt averages $29 a day for a Compact car over the last 12 months from 828 prices, which is $4 more a day, and scores 95/100 from 59 reviews. If you only have a debit card, filter for card acceptance before comparing either company.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

NEXT · YOUR QUESTIONS
04

Is the best-rated car hire company at Dubrovnik Airport also cheap?

Sixt is the best-reviewed company at Dubrovnik Airport, scoring 95/100 from 59 reviews in the last 5 months, with an average pickup wait of 11 minutes, making it worth comparing if you value both. For a Compact car over the last 12 months, Sixt averages $29 a day from 828 prices, while cheapest supplier Flizzr averages $25 from 936 prices, so Sixt costs $4 more a day. Flizzr scores 91/100 from 30 reviews over the last 5 months and averages 16 minutes at pickup; compare whether Sixt's higher score and shorter wait justify the extra cost for you.

Review scores are CarTrawler customers' own, from the last five months; the score and the desk wait sit beside each car in the results.

05

Can I use a debit card at Dubrovnik Airport, and how much is the deposit?

At Dubrovnik Airport, deposits range from $57 with Green Motion to $5,645 with Budget, and only 2 of the 21 counters take a debit card, so check your card before choosing a car. Mack and Dollar Thrifty take debit cards, but both hold about $2,259, so debit acceptance does not mean a small deposit. Filter for a debit card before comparing prices, then check the deposit and card rule beside your chosen car. Extras charged at the desk, such as a child seat or an additional driver, are listed under each car with their price.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

06

What should I watch out for when collecting a car at Dubrovnik Airport?

At Dubrovnik Airport, check card acceptance, deposit size and pickup waits before booking, because a low daily price does not tell you how much card capacity or time collection will need. Bring a credit card unless you have selected a debit-friendly car: 19 of the 21 counters require credit cards. Check your available card balance against the hold, particularly with Budget, whose typical deposit is $5,645. Allow 28 minutes on average at Green Motion's desk, or compare Sixt's 11-minute wait if you want to get on the road sooner.

Only 62% of prices at Dubrovnik Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.

07

Which car size should I choose at Dubrovnik Airport, and is automatic worth more?

At Dubrovnik Airport, choose a Compact car such as a Volkswagen Golf at about $24 a day for November 2026, booked around a month before your trip, if you need room for up to 3 bags. A Compact car seats 5 but takes only 3 bags, so choose by luggage space rather than seats alone. A couple with 2 bags can step down to an Economy car such as a Volkswagen Polo; for 4 bags, step up to an Intermediate car such as a Skoda Octavia. Automatics are 47% of cars offered, so include them in your comparison, but over the full price history a Compact car averages $50 a day with automatic transmission versus $38 with manual transmission, which is $12 more a day. Electric and hybrid cars are not among the cars offered, so plan on a conventional car rather than relying on finding either.
