Cavtat transfers
Cavtat is ten minutes from the airport: a fixed-price transfer to your hotel, and rides into the Old Town and back.

Instead of a taxi or the shuttle bus, book a private car transfer with your own driver waiting in the arrivals hall at Dubrovnik Airport: €50 to the Old Town per vehicle, not per person. We also do cruise-port pick-ups, hotel-to-hotel rides and longer trips to Split, Kotor and Mostar.
Dubrovnik Car Transfer is a private transfer service in Dubrovnik, Croatia, run by TECHNIC ONE d.o.o.. It drives passengers in cars and minivans with a driver between Dubrovnik Airport, the Gruž cruise port, hotels and the Old Town, and on to Split, Kotor and Mostar, at one fixed price per vehicle agreed in writing before travel. It is not a shared shuttle: each ride is booked in advance for one group.
A Dubrovnik Airport transfer to the Old Town costs €50 by car for up to four passengers, or €65 by minivan for up to eight. Your driver follows your flight, meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and takes you straight to your accommodation.

2026 prices per vehicle, one way, in euros. Fuel, tolls, luggage and VAT are included. Drive times are for normal traffic; allow more in July and August.
A private airport transfer is a car or minivan booked in advance for your group alone, at a price agreed before you fly. The driver follows your flight, waits in the arrivals hall and drives you to the address you gave us. Nobody else joins the ride and there is no meter running. Every airport price and the pick-up steps are on our Dubrovnik Airport transfer page.
Each way into the city suits a different traveller. The official shuttle is the cheapest for one or two people going to Ploče Gate or the bus station. A taxi needs no booking. A pre-booked transfer gives you a fixed price, a driver who waits for you and a ride to the door of your accommodation.
| Option | Price (2026) | Where it goes | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer | €50 per car (1–4), €65 per minivan (5–8) | Your accommodation address | Families, groups, late arrivals, heavy luggage |
| Airport shuttle bus | €10 one way, €15 return, per person | Ploče Gate, then the bus station in Gruž | Solo travellers and couples staying near those stops |
| Taxi from the rank | About €35–55 per car, set by each operator | Anywhere | Travellers who did not book ahead |
| Ride-hailing apps | Shown in the app; rises when demand is high | Anywhere the driver may stop | Travellers already using the app |
The shuttle operator, Platanus, runs a bus about 30 minutes after every arrival. It stops at Ploče Gate after about 30 minutes and ends at the main bus station in Gruž after about 35, with no stops in Lapad, Babin Kuk, Cavtat or Mlini. At the taxi rank in front of Building B, each taxi operator sets its own tariff; our comparisons of taxis and of Uber and Bolt go through the numbers.
Book as soon as you know your flight. The airport handled a record 3,090,245 passengers in 2025, and 86% of them travelled between May and October, according to the airport’s statistics. Cancelling is free up to 24 hours before the pick-up, and our airport arrival guide covers everything between the aircraft door and the car.
Every transfer has one fixed price per vehicle: €50 by car from the airport to the Old Town, €330 to Split, €255 to Kotor and €240 to Mostar. Fuel, tolls, ferries, luggage and VAT are included, and the price does not change with traffic or the border queue.

A private transfer uses one vehicle and one driver for your group, whether two seats are filled or four. Pricing per vehicle makes the cost easy to compare and means that larger groups pay less per head: a family of four travelling from the airport to the Old Town pays €50 in total, not per person.

A private transfer from Dubrovnik takes your group door to door to another town or country in one vehicle, at a price fixed before you travel. Split costs €330 by car, Kotor €255 and Mostar €240, with tolls and ferries included.

On a three-hour drive, space matters more than on a short airport run. A standard car, a Volkswagen Passat, suits up to four passengers with 3 suitcases + 3 cabin bags; the business car, a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, suits up to four; a minivan suits five to eight, or a smaller group that wants legroom and room for bags; the premium minivan, a Mercedes-Benz V-Class, has leather seats for up to seven. For a same-day return, book a car with a driver instead of two one-way transfers: the driver waits while you explore.
A private Dubrovnik to Split transfer costs €330 by car for up to four passengers or €420 by minivan for up to eight. The drive is about 235 km and takes roughly 3¼ hours, entirely inside Croatia since the Pelješac Bridge opened in 2022.

| Compared on | Private transfer | Intercity bus | Catamaran |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | €330 per car (1–4), €420 per minivan (5–8) | From about €16 per person | Higher, per person; seasonal |
| Journey time | About 3¼ hours, door to door | Just under 4 to about 4½ hours, station to station | About 4½ to 6 hours, port to port |
| Departs from | Your accommodation | Main bus station in Gruž | Gruž ferry port |
| Runs | Any day, any time | Many departures a day | Spring to autumn only |
Buses leave many times a day from the main bus station in Gruž, and in season catamarans run between the two cities, calling at islands such as Korčula and Hvar; operators including Kapetan Luka (Krilo) publish their timetables each spring. For one or two travellers with light bags the bus is the sensible choice, as our guide on how to get from Dubrovnik to Split explains. In Split the driver takes you to your hotel, the ferry port, the bus and train station or Split Airport at Kaštela, about 247 km from Dubrovnik, for €330 by car. The route runs in both directions at the same price.
Stops on the road to Split
A private Dubrovnik to Kotor transfer costs €255 by car for up to four passengers or €335 by minivan for up to eight. The 92 km drive around the Bay of Kotor takes about two hours, plus the queue at the Croatia–Montenegro border, which varies with the season.

A private Dubrovnik to Mostar transfer costs €240 by car for up to four passengers or €300 by minivan for up to eight. The 146 km drive takes about 2½ hours plus the border, and the same car takes you on to Međugorje or Sarajevo if you wish.

A car with a driver costs €50 an hour, €190 for a half day of 4 hours or €360 for a full day of 8 hours, per vehicle. The driver collects you, waits while you explore and takes you on to the next stop.

A car with a driver is a vehicle and driver hired by the hour or the day rather than for a single journey. You decide the plan; the driver handles the roads, the parking and the border queues. It suits travellers who want to see several places in one day, families who would rather not drive on unfamiliar coastal roads, and anyone who wants a wine tasting without worrying about the drive back. The minimum hire is 3 hours, a full day includes up to 300 km, and fuel, motorway tolls, the Bay of Kotor ferry, parking and the driver’s waiting time are all included; entrance tickets, meals and guides are not.
2026 prices per vehicle with driver, in euros, VAT included. Minimum hire 3 hours; a full day includes 300 km.
Short transfers link the Old Town, the Gruž cruise port, the hotel areas of Lapad and Babin Kuk, and Cavtat. The port to the Old Town costs €25 by car, and the city to Cavtat €50, per vehicle with the driver waiting at the agreed gate or door.

The Old Town is closed to cars, the cruise port has its own terminal buildings and each hotel area has its own access road, so the meeting point matters as much as the price. At the port the driver waits outside the terminal building for your berth, at the meeting point we confirm before the day; at a hotel or apartment, at the nearest point a car can stop. The pages below show where the driver meets you in each area.
Choose by the number of passengers and suitcases, not only by seats. The Volkswagen Passat takes up to four passengers, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class up to four for business travel, a minivan five to eight, and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class up to seven in leather seats. Child seats and boosters are free on request.
All four have air conditioning, and if you are not sure which one fits, send us the group size and the luggage on WhatsApp and we recommend one. Croatian law requires a suitable child restraint for every child under 150 cm, so give us each child’s age when you book; our guide to child car seats in Croatia explains the rules.

Book your transferChoose a listed route, or a pick-up and destination up to 500 km apart by road, then the date, the time, the passengers and a vehicle. The form shows one fixed price per vehicle, which you pay by card to book; your e-ticket arrives by email. On the day your driver meets you, with nothing left to pay.
Book as soon as you know your flight or ship: cancelling is free up to 24 hours before the pick-up. Demand peaks from May to October, when roads are slower and border queues longer, so plan airport runs with an hour in hand and leave early for Montenegro or Bosnia.
Dubrovnik’s season is short and intense. The airport handled 3,090,245 passengers in 2025, and 86% of them travelled between May and October, with August the busiest month, according to Dubrovnik Airport’s statistics. The airport’s own advice is to allow up to an hour for the drive into the city in July and August, against 30–35 minutes on average, because the coast road through Župa dubrovačka is the only way in.
Outside the season, from November to April, roads are quiet and border checks quick, and transfers run at the same prices; the fixed price never changes with traffic, the time of day or the queue.
For a short ride across town, a taxi or a ride-hailing app is quick and easy. For an airport arrival, a group with luggage or a long journey, a pre-booked transfer usually wins: the price is fixed before you land, a driver waits for you, and the vehicle fits your group. A rental car pays off only on touring days.
| Compared on | Taxi | Uber or Bolt | Rental car | Private transfer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost (2026) | About €35–55 from the airport to the Old Town | From the airport: Uber averages about €29; Bolt estimated €56.80 on 1 October 2026 | About €14–21 a day off-season and €35 in July, plus parking of up to €40 a day | €50 by car from the airport to the Old Town, fixed |
| Price certainty | Operator’s tariff or quote | Can rise with demand until 2027 | Fuel, tolls and parking on top | Fixed in writing before you travel |
| Meeting at the airport | Queue at the rank | Meet at a pick-up point | Collect from the car park | Driver in the arrivals hall with a name sign |
| Groups of 5–8 | A larger taxi, or two | Up to six | Depends on the car | Minivan for up to eight |
| Child seats | Not guaranteed | Not guaranteed | Rented extra | Free on request |
There is no city-wide taxi fare in Dubrovnik: each licensed operator sets its own price list. Travel guides put a taxi from the airport rank to the Old Town at about €35–55 in 2026, while a pre-booked car costs €50, fixed before you land, with the driver waiting in the arrivals hall.

Uber and Bolt both operate in Dubrovnik, including at the airport, and for short city rides they are convenient. Uber says UberX from the airport averages about €29, but app prices rise with demand. A pre-booked transfer costs €50, fixed in writing, with a driver waiting in the arrivals hall.

For a stay in or near the Old Town, transfers are usually cheaper and simpler: parking costs up to €40 a day and the streets around the walls are a restricted zone from April to October. For a road trip along the coast or several days of touring, a rental car usually wins.

| Trip | With transfers | With a rental car |
|---|---|---|
| 4 nights in the Old Town, no day trips | Airport transfer there and back: 2 × €50 | 4 days at about €35, plus the garage at €40 a day: about €300 before fuel and insurance |
| 7 nights in Lapad, with Kotor and Mostar days | 2 airport transfers (€50 each) plus 2 days with a driver (€360 each) | 7 days at about €35, plus fuel, cross-border permission and street parking |
| 10-day coastal road trip to Split and beyond | Many separate transfers | A one-way rental from the airport is usually cheaper and more flexible |
Many visitors combine the two: a transfer from the airport, buses and taxis in the city, and a car with a driver for the one or two days they want to see Kotor, Mostar or Ston. If you do rent, drivers in Croatia follow the Road Traffic Safety Act: 50 km/h in towns, 90 km/h on other roads and 130 km/h on motorways. Our guide to driving to the Old Town explains the zone and parking in detail.
Most transfers start at Dubrovnik Airport, the Gruž cruise port or a hotel in Lapad, Cavtat or near the Old Town, and the longer rides follow the coast to Ston, Split and the Bay of Kotor or run inland to Mostar. These photographs show the places on those routes.

Short answers to the questions people ask before booking: the airport-to-Old-Town price, where the driver waits, how close a car can get to the Old Town, booking and payment, cancellations, child seats, cross-border trips to Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, flight delays and waiting time. Each question opens below; the price list and the booking page cover the rest.
A private transfer from Dubrovnik Airport to the Old Town costs €50 by car for up to four passengers and €65 by minivan for up to eight (2026 prices). The price is per vehicle, not per person, and includes luggage, tolls and VAT. The drive is about 22 km and takes 30–35 minutes, or up to an hour in July and August traffic.
The driver waits in the arrivals hall, just after the customs exit, holding a sign with the lead passenger's name. We track the flight number you give us, so a late landing does not change the pickup, and the first 60 minutes of waiting after landing are free.
No. The Old Town inside the walls is closed to all traffic, and from 1 April to 31 October the streets around it are a restricted zone that vehicles may enter only with City authorisation. The driver stops at the nearest point your vehicle is allowed to use, which we confirm before the day, and from there Pile Gate or Ploče Gate is a short walk.
Per vehicle. A car for one to four passengers has one price and a minivan for five to eight passengers has another, so the cost per person falls as the group grows. The price we confirm in writing is the price you pay: no meter, no night surcharge and no luggage fee.
On the booking form, choose a route from the price list, or type the pick-up and destination and choose each from the suggestions; then the date, the time, the passengers and a vehicle. The form shows the fixed price, one way or return, and you pay it in full by card on Stripe's secure page; your e-ticket arrives by email. A trip the form cannot price goes to us as a request, and we reply with a price and how to book.
Yes. Cancelling or changing a booking is free up to 24 hours before the pickup time, and a free cancellation is refunded in full to your card. If your flight is delayed or rescheduled, tell us the new flight number and we move the pickup at no cost.
Yes, free of charge. Tell us the age and weight of each child when you book and the driver fits the right infant carrier, child seat or booster before the pickup.
Yes. We run private transfers and day trips to Kotor, Budva and Tivat in Montenegro and to Mostar and Međugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Both countries are outside the EU and the Schengen area, so every passenger needs a passport and the journey time depends on the queue at the border.
Dubrovnik Car Transfer is operated by TECHNIC ONE d.o.o., a company registered in Dubrovnik, Croatia (VAT number HR63056167991), with its office at Marina Frapa, Lapadska obala 21a, 20000 Dubrovnik, Croatia. You can reach the team on +385 91 600 1201 or at info@dubrovnikcartransfer.com.
Nothing changes for you. We follow the flight number you give us, so the driver is there at the real landing time, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free. A delayed flight never adds a charge.
No. The price is the same at 03:00 as at noon, and the same on Sundays and public holidays. Transfers run at any hour when they are booked in advance, including flights that land after midnight in summer.
Travel guides checked in 2026 put it at about €35–55, depending on the taxi operator and the time of day. Each operator sets its own tariff, and the airport displays the price list at the taxi information window in the arrivals hall.
Yes. Uber says rides can be requested in Dubrovnik 24 hours a day, including at the airport, and Bolt also operates in the city. App prices change with demand, while a pre-booked transfer price is fixed before you travel.
No. Since the Pelješac Bridge opened on 26 July 2022, the road from Dubrovnik to Split stays inside Croatia, so there is no passport check on the way. The drive is about 235 km and takes roughly 3¼ hours.
About two hours for the 92 km around the Bay of Kotor, plus the time at the border. Outside summer the crossing is usually quick; on peak days in July and August the queue can add several hours, so an early start is best.
No. The same car and driver take you from your door in Dubrovnik to your door in Montenegro or Bosnia and Herzegovina. Passengers from outside the EU may be asked to step out once at the Croatian post to register for the EU Entry/Exit System.
Yes, if you tell us when you book. Common stops are Ston on the way to Split or Korčula and Perast on the way to Kotor. Write the stop in the booking form's message box: we confirm before the day whether it fits, and anything it adds to the price is charged only if you agree.
3 hours. A half day is 4 hours and a full day is 8 hours with up to 300 km included. Extra time is charged at the hourly rate, and only after you agree.
Yes, within limits. At the airport the first 60 minutes after landing are free; at hotels, homes and the port, 15 minutes are included. Border queues never cost extra.
Our travel guides cover the airport arrival, the Old Town traffic zone, the cruise port, the borders with Montenegro and Bosnia, the Pelješac Bridge, child car seats and the best day trips. Each one is written from official timetables, tariffs and border rules, and dated so you can see when it was last checked.
