"How much is a taxi from Split Airport?" is the first thing most visitors search, and the honest answer is: it depends on which kind of taxi. There are three, the metered taxis waiting at the rank, ride-hailing apps, and fixed-price private transfers, and they price the same journey in very different ways.
Rank taxis: metered
Taxis at the rank outside arrivals run on the meter. To Split city centre, expect roughly €40–55. Longer routes are harder to predict because the fare depends on the company, the route the driver takes, and traffic. Always confirm the price or ask for an estimate before you set off, and ask for a receipt.
Ride-hailing apps: surge pricing
Apps like Bolt operate around Split and can be cheaper than the rank outside peak times. In July and August, surge pricing can push fares above the rank taxis, and availability late at night or very early in the morning is not guaranteed. Most app cars are sedans, so groups with luggage may need two.
Private transfers: fixed per vehicle
A private transfer is priced per vehicle before you book. The price doesn't change with traffic, delays or the time of day, and it already includes tolls, fuel, meet & greet in arrivals and child seats on request. These are typical one-way prices with us:
| Route from Split Airport | Distance | Drive time | Car (1–4) | Van (up to 8) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trogir | ~7 km | 15 min | ~€35 | ~€45 |
| Split centre / ferry port | ~20 km | 25–30 min | ~€55 | ~€70–75 |
| Podstrana | ~27 km | 30 min | ~€60 | ~€85 |
| Omiš | ~45 km | 45 min | ~€100 | ~€140 |
| Baška Voda | ~65 km | 1 h 10 min | ~€125 | ~€150 |
| Makarska | ~89 km | 1 h 20 min | ~€170 | ~€205 |
| Dubrovnik | ~230 km | 3–3.5 h | ~€415 | ~€500 |
The exact price depends on your address and shows instantly in the booking form. A return trip booked together gets 5% off.
Which one is cheapest?
For one or two people going into Split outside peak season, an app ride can be the cheapest car option. For everyone else the gap closes quickly: a rank taxi to Split costs about the same as a transfer, and on longer routes a fixed price removes the risk of a meter running through summer traffic on the coast road. If you want the fixed-price option, see our Split Airport taxi at a fixed price.
The biggest saving is for groups. A van for up to eight people to Makarska costs around €205 in total: about €26 per person, only a little more than the bus, but from the arrivals hall to your door.
Things that can add to the price
- Rank taxis: luggage surcharges, night rates and detours in traffic.
- Apps: surge pricing and cancellations during busy periods.
- Private transfers: extra stops or route changes asked for on the day. With us these are always agreed before the ride, never added at the end.
