Info on car rental in Dubrovnik cruise port

Has anyone rented a car in Dubrovnik cruise port? We would like to do this in October, but we are having difficulty receiving information. Any help appreciated.

Have you considered a private tour?  We hired a wonderful guide from the internet (sorry, it's been several years, and I no longer have the information) who picked us up at the pier and drove us to several towns outside Dubrovnik.  Beautiful places and interesting drive that both DH and I could enjoy, since neither one of us was driving.  She brought us back to the walled city and toured it with us for about 2 hours before leaving us in the late afternoon.  We stayed and caught the bus back to the ship which she had directed us to, so all was good.    

 

It would certainly be less of a hassle, and she was so knowledgeable about the culture, history, and current events.  We would have missed all of that without her.

A few years ago we rented from Sixt.  They had a booth in the hotel just outside the main gate.  Sixt is a well known European chain.  We rented cars two days in a row.  No issues whatsoever.

Thank you very much. I think we will use Sixt.

Thank you sevenseasnomad. We have taken many tours but we are in port until 10pm, so we would like to rent a car. We were in Dubrovnik in May so we are going to explore further out.
