Fans of world-famous taxi app, Uber, can now get around by UberX in Zagreb, Zadar, Split, Sibenik and Dubrovnik. Launched in Zagreb at the end of 2015, in Split and Dubrovnik in mid-2016, Zadar in late 2016 and Sibenik in 2017, Uber has provoked strong protests from traditional taxi drivers but has been welcomed by residents and visitors. Nevertheless, the expansion continues. Services have also become available from the popular festival sites of Tisno and Zrce to Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik. There's even a pioneering new service, Uber Boat.

Note that UberX is available in Dubrovnik only during the high season from June to October.

In Zagreb, Uber has unveiled a new service called UberSelect which allows passengers to choose newer, larger and more comfortable cars at a nominal extra cost.

For those unfamiliar with how Uber works, it's simple: download the app, set up an account using PayPal or a credit card and start arranging rides. Your credit card is debited automatically; no cash needs to change hands. This is a substantial advantage for those arriving in Croatia without euros. It's also possible in Croatia to pay the driver in cash if you wish as long as that option is chosen under "payment method". And, the prices are cheaper than taking local taxis.
