Carwiz International recently began operating on a new air route between Dubrovnik and Rome. 

Company representatives attended a celebration organized by Croatia Airlines, in cooperation with the Croatian National Tourist Board, the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, and the Dubrovnik-Neretva County Tourist Board, in Italy. The occasion provided an ideal opportunity for Carwiz to present its exclusive Fly & Drive project.

The presentation of this new route, which connects the Adriatic and Italy and extends the tourist season, brought together numerous distinguished guests, tourism sector representatives, and media outlets.

Carwiz International highlighted the advantages of its new solution designed for modern travelers. The Fly & Drive project offers passengers a seamless, integrated travel experience, from air to road, enabling them to pick up a vehicle immediately upon landing and continue their journey without stress or delay.

“The new Dubrovnik–Rome route opens the door to a new wave of visitors, and our Fly & Drive project perfectly complements this initiative, providing added value and comfort to passengers,” said Tomislava Ravlić, director of business development at Carwiz International, in a Dec. 4 news release. “Our mission is to make mobility simple and accessible, and this collaboration with Croatia Airlines is a step forward in that direction.”

Krešimir Dobrilović, founder and owner of Carwiz International, added, “Fly & Drive emphasizes flexibility and service personalization, enabling clients to reserve their desired vehicle in advance, which will be waiting for them ready at the airport parking lot, saving valuable time and optimizing their travel experience.”  

Carwiz International anticipates future cooperation and joint contributions in developing the region’s tourism and exporting Croatian tourism overall.
