Locating the Car Rental Center

Compact Airport

Rijeka Airport is a compact and exceptionally easy-to-navigate airport. The car rental facilities are impossible to miss.

Dedicated Rent-a-Car Building

The car rental desks are housed together in a small, dedicated "Rent-a-Car" building situated directly next to the main terminal, not inside it.

Less Than a Minute Walk

Upon collecting your luggage and clearing customs, walk out of the main arrivals exit, look immediately to your right, and you will see the separate car rental building just a few steps away.

Step-by-Step Guide to Your Car Pickup

Exit the Terminal
After you have collected all your bags from the baggage claim area, proceed through the glass doors of the arrivals hall to exit the main terminal building.
Find the Rental Building
The car rental building is located immediately to your right upon exiting. It is a small, standalone structure clearly signed for car rentals.
Locate Your Agency Desk
Enter the building, where you will find the counters for all the on-site car rental companies. Find the desk for the agency you booked with through QEEQ.
Complete Paperwork
Approach the counter and have your documents ready: your valid driver's license, an International Driving Permit (IDP) if required, your passport for identification, a valid credit card in the main driver's name (debit cards are generally not accepted for security deposits), and your QEEQ booking voucher (printed or digital).
Pick Up Your Keys and Find Your Car
Once the paperwork is complete and the agent has handed you the keys, proceed to the car rental parking lot located directly adjacent to and behind the rental building.

Required Documents for Pickup

Your valid driver's license: From your home country.
An International Driving Permit (IDP): If required for your license type. It's always a good idea to check this requirement before you travel.
Your passport: For identification.
A valid credit card: In the main driver's name. Debit cards are generally not accepted for security deposits.
Your QEEQ booking voucher: Having a printed copy or a digital version on your phone is essential.

Understanding Operating Hours

It is crucial to understand that Rijeka Airport's traffic is highly seasonal. Operating hours for the car rental center can vary significantly between the busy summer months (roughly May to September) and the quieter off-season.

During the high season, the rental desks are typically open all day to meet the steady stream of flights. In the low season, their hours may be more limited.

However, the most important thing to know is that all agencies operate based on scheduled flight arrivals. This is why it is absolutely essential to provide your correct flight number when making your reservation on QEEQ. By doing so, the rental agency staff will track your flight and will be there to greet you, even if your flight is delayed. This simple step ensures a representative will be waiting for you, regardless of your arrival time.

Flight Information is Key

Always provide your correct flight number when booking on QEEQ. The rental agency staff will track your flight and be there to greet you, even if your flight is delayed.

Before You Go

Essential Checklist for a Smooth Pickup

Keep this final checklist in mind to ensure your car rental experience is perfect from the start.

Your Pickup Checklist

Check Your Booking
Before you travel, double-check your rental details and have your QEEQ voucher easily accessible on your phone or as a printout.
Documents Ready
Keep your passport, driver's license, IDP (if needed), and the credit card used for booking in a place that is easy to reach. Don't pack them in your checked luggage.
Flight Information is Key
Reconfirm that your rental agency has your correct flight number. This is your guarantee that staff will be present for your arrival.
Inspect Your Vehicle
Before driving off, take a few minutes to walk around the car. Use your phone to take photos or a video of any pre-existing scratches, dents, or scuffs. Ensure any damage is noted on your rental agreement to avoid any disputes upon return.
Know the Local Rules
Briefly familiarize yourself with key Croatian driving regulations. Headlights must be used during the day from the last Sunday in October to the last Sunday in March. Pay close attention to posted speed limits.
