Split Airport to Split Port transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Split Airport to Split Port should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Split Airport to Split Port transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Split Airport to Split Port 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 Port is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Split Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Split Airport (SPU)
Split Airport (SPU, Resnik) is in Kaštela, about 25 km west of the centre of Split and 6 km east of Trogir; the old town takes about 35 minutes by road, Makarska about 1 hour 15 minutes and Dubrovnik about 3 hours 30 minutes.
A little knowledge of Split 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 Split Airport to Split Port drive begins.
Searches for "SPU to Split Port" or "SPU airport transfer" land here for a reason: SPU is the airport code for Split Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Split Port.

Taxi or private transfer from Split Airport to Split Port?
Travellers searching for "Split Airport to Split Port taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Split Airport to Split Port is known before you land.
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 Split Airport to Split Port per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Split Port 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 Port, 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 Split Airport to Split Port: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Split Airport runs mainly into Split itself: the airport shuttle bus takes about 45 minutes to the main bus station near the port and suits a single traveller staying in the centre; a private car is faster and simpler for Trogir, Omiš, Makarska, island ferry connections or a family with luggage. Reaching Split Port from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Split Port once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Split Airport to Split Port transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Split Port
Split's ferry and cruise port sits beside the old town, about 25 km east of Split Airport. Split Port is the main sea gateway of central Dalmatia and lies right beside the old town, the bus station and the railway station.

The waterfront is busy with travellers, cafes and the palm-lined Riva promenade, and Diocletian's Palace begins a few steps from the terminal buildings. Because most departures are timed to the season, the port fills quickly in July and August, and it is worth arriving with time to spare for tickets and luggage.
