Zadar Airport taxi rates
Unlike many other destinations in Europe, Zadar Airport taxis don’t offer flat rates and use a taximeter. Because the amounts aren’t regulated, there is some variation in Zadar Airport taxi prices. However, this is a guide to the average costs:
Avg. base fare – €1.20
Avg. rate per km – €0.86
Avg. rate per min (waiting time) – €0.86
Minimum tariff – €2.40
There is always the risk of getting overcharged, whether the starting price on the taximeter is off or an unnecessarily long route is chosen. Sadly, this is more common with unsuspecting tourists.
Depending on the time of day you leave the airport, your Zadar taxi from the airport to the city should cost around €26.
For further distances, such as the 1 hour and 45-minute journey to Split, your driver may offer you a fixed rate rather than using the taximeter. In which case, do your research on what a reasonable taxi fare would be to your chosen destination. For example, a taxi from Zadar Airport to Split shouldn’t cost you more than €170.
Payments must be made in euros and you can usually pay by cash or card.
Surcharges
