Motorcycle Rentals in Split from €25/day

Split rewards anyone willing to ditch the bus timetable and just ride. Duck out of the marble alleys around Diocletian's Palace, climb the pine-shaded switchbacks of Marjan Hill for a view over the harbour, then be in Trogir's old town before lunch. A car struggles with the palace's narrow gates and the coast's tight bends; a scooter or motorbike just slips through.

The old town core is largely closed to cars, so a scooter finds parking where a rental car never will. Beyond it, the coast unspools as a string of seaside towns — the Kaštela villages, Trogir, Omiš, Makarska — linked by a winding Adriatic road built for two wheels. Short hops like Klis Fortress or Marjan Hill are twistier and faster to reach riding than driving, which is really the whole case for a motorcycle rental in Split.

Top 10 things to see in Split by motorcycle

1. Diocletian's Palace — the UNESCO Roman palace at the heart of the old town; park up and walk the peristyle and the cellars.
2. Marjan Hill — a forested hill above town with pine-lined switchbacks and views over the city and harbour.
3. Bačvice Beach — the classic city beach, a short ride from the old town and popular for picigin and beach volleyball.
4. Kašjuni Beach — quieter and more scenic, reached along a winding coastal road on the Marjan peninsula.
5. Klis Fortress — a hilltop fortress 15 minutes north with sweeping views over Split and Kaštela bay.
6. Trogir Old Town — a UNESCO-listed medieval town 30 minutes west, a favourite half-day ride.
7. Kaštela riviera road — the coastal route linking Split to Trogir through seven historic seaside villages.
8. Biokovo Mountain — hairpin turns climbing toward Makarska, ending at a glass skywalk over the Adriatic.
9. Omiš and the Cetina River canyon — a coastal town south of Split with a scenic inland gorge road.
10. Makarska Riviera coastal road — the classic Adriatic Highway stretch south, cliffside curves past beach towns.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Split?

Croatia is stricter than Italy or Spain here: a plain car licence will not let you ride anything over 50cc. For scooters above that you need at least category A1, and larger motorcycles call for A2 or full category A depending on power. Bring the physical card, since rental agencies match the bike to the category shown on it. Most agencies set 18 as the practical minimum age, sometimes higher for bigger machines, and a deposit is standard, held on a credit card or in cash and released when the bike comes back undamaged. If your licence was issued outside the EU or EEA, carry an International Driving Permit too.

How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle in Split?

Expect around 25 EUR per day in low season (November to March) and 45–60 EUR per day in July and August, when the coast is busiest. Larger or newer touring bikes, 300cc and up, run 60–90 EUR per day at peak times.

• Prices climb steadily from spring, peak in July and August, then fall back after September.
• Booking a few weeks ahead in high season helps, since the best bikes go first.
• Shoulder months typically land somewhere between the low- and high-season rates.

When to book a rental motorcycle in Split?

June through August is high season, with July and August the busiest and priciest weeks on the whole Adriatic coast — book ahead if you want a specific model. November to March is low season, when prices drop and some island and coastal shops close for winter altogether. If you can, aim for May, June or September: warm, dry, and free of the peak crowds and heat.

Local traffic rules in Split

Croatia drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for riders and passengers on every scooter and motorcycle, no exceptions, and headlights stay on day and night year-round. Speed limits are 50 km/h in town, 90 km/h on open roads, 110 km/h on expressways and 130 km/h on motorways, though mopeds are capped at 45 km/h and barred from motorways entirely. The blood-alcohol limit is 0.05%, but it drops to zero for drivers under 25 — and police do check, especially along the coastal D8 road in summer.
