Split Taxi

Public transport in Split can be slow and infrequent, so if you want to see as much as possible of this stunning city and the surrounding areas, we suggest using a Split taxi to get around. Not only will you save time waiting in line, but you will get to travel around in an air-conditioned vehicle at your leisure. Taxis in Split use a taximeter to calculate your fare and are readily available 24/7.

Split Taxi prices

Taxis in Split use a regulated charging system that is similar all over Croatia. You will be charged using a taximeter based on distance travelled. So, Split taxi prices will depend on how long your journey is. You can usually see the fares and base prices written on a board at the official taxi ranks. However, if you’re travelling outside of the city centre, you should try and secure a set-price before beginning your journey, as this can work out much cheaper. 

Base fare – €2.38

Price per km – €1.10

There will be additional Split taxi prices and charges for things such as each item of excess luggage over 12kg (€0.33), keeping your driver waiting for one hour (€6.62) and travelling during major holidays.

How to get a Taxi in Split Croatia

Unlike most other cities in Croatia, taxis in Split rarely stop in the street as they wait at the designated taxi ranks, rather than driving around looking for passengers. You can find these taxi ranks located around the city, but the most popular can be found along the Riva waterfront, inside the Split ferry port, at the bus and railway station, and next to the Church of St.Frane.

Your other option is to call the local radio taxi company. This is a great choice if the weather is bad or you need to travel late at night as you can wait inside for your car. To book your Split radio taxi, you can call +385 060 850 850. Keep in mind there will be an additional charge for this service.

Booking your Split taxi in Advance

As you can’t usually flag down a Split taxi in the street, waiting times at the taxi ranks or for radio taxis can be long and frustrating. To avoid the wait and spend more time enjoying your time in Split, you can book your taxis in advance. For a fast, top-rated and reliable Split taxi service, we recommend booking your taxi in advance with Welcome Pickups. 

Split Taxi Tips

  1. If your Split taxi doesn't have a taximeter, don’t get in. These are classed as “wild cabs” and aren't regulated.
  2. Taxi drivers in Split don't always speak English, so be sure to write down your hotel’s address to avoid any miscommunication errors.
  3. Split taxi drivers aren't required to carry change for large bills, so be sure to keep change in the local currency with you.
  4. Split taxis don't come with a baby seat as standard, but you can fit your own for free.
  5. If you feel your driver is taking a long or wrong route, check your location on GoogleMaps.
  6. Ensure your driver resets the taximeter to the base fare before beginning your journey.

Wheelchair Accessible Taxis in Split

Local Split taxis don’t offer wheelchair accessible rides. If you need a service that offers large vehicles with wheelchair ramps or electronic lifts, then you will need to contact Disables Accessible Travel on +31 202 444 843. This company has Taxis in Split Croatia and offers reliable and well-reviewed wheelchair accessible tours and transport. 

Split Taxi Complaints and Safety

Although taxis in Split are mostly safe and well regulated, you can still come across some problems during your journey. As a tourist, it’s important to stay alert and know what to do if you do have any issues during your journey. Be sure to ask for your receipt or markdown your taxi driver’s ID number, taxi number and the time and date of your journey. You can then report the issue to the taxi company you used or go to the local Split police.

Frequently asked questions

Are taxis in Split expensive?

Do taxis in Croatia take credit cards?
