Dubrovnik Airport to Split

Dubrovnik Airport to Split transfer: the easiest way to get there

The best way to get from Dubrovnik Airport to Split 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 Split 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 Split 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 Split 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.

A little knowledge of Dubrovnik Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Dubrovnik Airport to Split drive begins.

Searches for "DBV to Split" 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 Split.

Dubrovnik Airport to Split at a glance

Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Dubrovnik Airport to Split, 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 Split?

The airport taxi fare from Dubrovnik Airport to Split is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Dubrovnik Airport to Split transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.

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 Split per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Split 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 Split, 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 Split: 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 Split from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

So the honest comparison for Split is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Dubrovnik Airport to Split transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.

About Split

Split lies about 250 km north-west of Dubrovnik Airport, on the Dalmatian coast. Split is the largest city on the Dalmatian coast, built around Diocletian's Palace, a Roman imperial residence whose walls and courtyards now form the living old town. The Riva waterfront promenade, lined with palms, cafés and restaurants, runs beside the harbour, and Marjan hill offers walks and views over the bay and islands. Ferries leave from the port for Hvar, Brac, Vis and Solta, and Split is a base for Trogir, Krka and Omis. It is a popular one-way transfer for travellers continuing from Dubrovnik to the north of the country.

Things to do in Split

Once you have checked in, Split is worth exploring: Diocletian's Palace, Riva promenade, Marjan hill views, Ferries to the islands and Base for Trogir and Krka. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.

Dubrovnik itself is within reach for a day: Fort Lovrijenac, Banje Beach and the city walls - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Where to stay in Split

Where visitors stay in Split: Inside and around Diocletian's Palace, Along the Riva, Varos and Bacvice and Hotels near the ferry port. Our Dubrovnik Airport to Split 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.

The Old Town is pedestrian, so the driver stops at the nearest street or car park; agree a comfort break in Ston or Ploce and check ferry times if you are connecting to an island.

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 Split 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 Split 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.

Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.

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 Split 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 Split 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.

The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Split and the ride back to Dubrovnik Airport are arranged in the same conversation.

How to book your Split transfer

Send the form on this page, or write to us on WhatsApp: flight number, date, passengers, luggage and hotel. Within a few minutes a member of our team confirms your Dubrovnik Airport to Split transfer with the price fixed, the vehicle chosen and the meeting point at Dubrovnik Airport explained. Everything is in writing, in English or Arabic.

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.

Split to Dubrovnik Airport: the return transfer

Heading back to Dubrovnik Airport at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Split; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.

On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Split 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.
