There are a number of operators in charge of taxi services in Dubrovnik and they tend to be reliable. At last glance, the meter dropped at €3.50 with €1.20 per kilometre which is in line with taxi prices in the rest of Croatia. Naturally, you'll pay extra for Sunday and holiday service and there is a per piece luggage charge.

Although expensive, the chances of a rip-off are slim since many taxi stands post authorized prices. For example from Lapad to the Old Town or the bus station is €10.50, to the airport is €37 and to the Old Port and Ploce is €14.50.

Where to Find Taxis in Dubrovnik

You cannot hail a taxi on a street because there are designated taxi stations. Taxis are waiting:

at the airport

at the bus station

at Gruz harbor

in central Lapad

at Pile Gate

at Ploce Gate

Taxis cannot enter the Old Town although they can take you up to the gates.

You can also call a taxi for free at 0800-970 which is a 24/7 service.

Uber is available in Dubrovnik but only from June to October. Nevertheless, it offers a substantial savings over taxis offering fixed rates on many popular routes. For example:

Dubrovnik airport to Pile gate: €24

Dubrovnik Gruz port to Pile gate: €7.30

From the Airport

From the airport to your hotel, count on paying from €35-38 depending on the location of your hotel. You may find it more convenient to pre-book your arrival and/or departure transfer . Here are the advantages of pre-booking your arrival transfer:

convenience: a driver will be waiting for you at the gate with your name on a card; no searching for public transportation; no waiting in line for taxis

security: no haggling with the taxi driver over fees

comfort: groups and families get a larger vehicle; no squeezing into a taxi or obligation to pay for two taxis.
