Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport 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 Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport 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 Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport 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 Dubrovnik Airport is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Kotor, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Kotor
Kotor Port is the cruise and ferry quay on the bay right beside the old town walls, about 8 km from Tivat Airport.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Kotor is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport, 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 Kotor, 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 Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport?
An airport taxi from Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport 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 Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Dubrovnik Airport 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 Dubrovnik Airport, 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 Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Kotor runs mainly into Kotor itself: tivat Airport is only 8 km away and local buses and taxis run to Kotor, but there is no train; a private car is simpler for a family with luggage, a late arrival, Budva, Perast, Herceg Novi, Cetinje or the drive to Dubrovnik, where the old town is closed to cars and the border needs passports. Reaching Dubrovnik Airport 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 Dubrovnik Airport 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 Kotor to Dubrovnik Airport transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Dubrovnik Airport
Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) is in Croatia, about 75 km north-west of Kotor, on the other side of the Montenegrin border. Dubrovnik Airport, at Cilipi south of the city, is the airport many travellers use for the Bay of Kotor because it offers a wider choice of flights than Tivat. The car drives south along the coast, passes the Croatian and Montenegrin border posts at Debeli Brijeg and continues around the bay to Kotor. Passengers with a flight from Dubrovnik usually leave Kotor early to allow for border time. The airport is only about 20 km from the old town of Dubrovnik.

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.
Kotor itself is within reach for a day: Cetinje and Lovcen, Sveti Stefan viewpoint and A boat trip around the bay - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Meeting your driver at Kotor
Where you meet your driver depends on Kotor: 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 you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Kotor.

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.

On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Dubrovnik Airport 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 Kotor, that is arranged in the same message.
Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Dubrovnik Airport transfers
Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Dubrovnik Airport transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
