Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi

Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi transfer: the easiest way to get there

The best way to get from Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Herceg Novi is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Dubrovnik Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Dubrovnik Airport (DBV)

Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) is at Cilipi, about 20 km south-east of the Old Town and about 8 km from Cavtat; Kotor is about 80 km, Mostar about 140 km and Split about 250 km away by road.

Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Dubrovnik Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi transfer.

Searches for "DBV to Herceg Novi" or "DBV airport transfer" land here for a reason: DBV is the airport code for Dubrovnik Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Herceg Novi.

Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi at a glance

Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Dubrovnik Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.

Taxi or private transfer from Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi?

An airport taxi from Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Herceg Novi involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Herceg Novi, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Dubrovnik Airport runs mainly into Dubrovnik itself: the airport shuttle bus runs to Pile Gate and the Gruz bus station in about 30 to 40 minutes and suits a light bag; a private car is simpler for a family, a late arrival or an apartment on a steep street, and for day trips to Kotor, Mostar or Ston with border crossings. Reaching Herceg Novi from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

If you are weighing the Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

About Herceg Novi

Herceg Novi lies about 35 km south-east of Dubrovnik Airport, across the border in Montenegro at the mouth of the Bay of Kotor. Herceg Novi is the first Montenegrin town south of the Croatian border, a terraced town of stairs, small squares and stone fortresses at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor. The old town is entered through a clock tower, and a long seaside promenade, the Pet Danica, runs along the water to nearby beaches. Fortresses such as Forte Mare and Kanli Kula, sea views and botanical gardens fill a relaxed day. Many people combine it with a visit to Kotor or stay for its lower-key seaside resorts.

Things to do in Herceg Novi

The reasons most visitors come to Herceg Novi: Old town with clock tower, Forte Mare and Kanli Kula, Seaside promenade, Terraced streets and stairs and Gateway to the Bay of Kotor. Arriving by private transfer means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.

Dubrovnik itself is within reach for a day: the city walls, the Stradun and the Rector's Palace - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Herceg Novi

Where visitors stay in Herceg Novi: Hotels along the promenade, Apartments in the old town and Beach hotels toward Igalo. Our Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi transfer goes to any hotel, apartment or private address there - send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp, and the driver goes straight to the right door.

Bring passports for every passenger; queues at Debeli Brijeg can add an hour or more in July and August, so plan a generous margin, and tell us if you carry rental documents or children travelling without both parents.

Meeting your driver at Dubrovnik Airport

Where you meet your driver depends on Dubrovnik Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If your flight is delayed, we know: every Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi transfer is flight-tracked and the pickup moves with your real landing time.

Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Dubrovnik Airport.

Our vehicles for the Herceg Novi transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.

Who books the Herceg Novi transfer

Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.

Many guests add a second leg later in the trip: a day out from Herceg Novi, an onward transfer or the return to Dubrovnik Airport. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.

How to book your Herceg Novi transfer

Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Herceg Novi. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.

Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.

Good to know before you land at Dubrovnik Airport

Send your flight number and hotel name; the walled Old Town is closed to cars, so the driver stops at Pile or Ploce Gate, and for trips to Montenegro or Bosnia and Herzegovina every passenger needs a passport.

Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Dubrovnik Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.

If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.

Herceg Novi to Dubrovnik Airport: the return transfer

The same service runs the other way. For a Herceg Novi to Dubrovnik Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Dubrovnik Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Herceg Novi based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near Dubrovnik Airport, that is arranged in the same message.
