History

Kompas Rent a Car has been present in former Yugoslavia since 1963. In the beginning, Kompas was renting only vehicles with a driver. With the increase in number of tourists and business people who wanted to independently rent and drive, in a very short period of time Kompas started renting vehicles without drivers. Given the vicinity of Austria and the fact that rent a car activity has not existed prior to Kompas, the „know how“ was assumed from the Austrians who already had Hertz and Avis. In the beginning, the fleet included 25 Volkswagen Beetles which were purchased from Autotehna Zagreb. In 1963, the fleet included 85 Volkswagen and Mercedes vehicles owned by Kompas.

Cooperation with Hertz started in 1966 after signing a contract on business and technical cooperation with Hertz Italy. In 1972, Kompas Hertz Rent a Car started functioning as an independent company with Hertz International franchise.

We are no longer a part of Hertz International however we are still strong and reliable partner on international field.
