Split Airport Transfer at a Glance
How to Get from Split Airport
The main options from Split Airport are a pre-booked private transfer, taxi, dedicated airport shuttle, local public bus or rental car. The shuttle connects SPU with Split Main Bus Station, while public buses serve directions toward Split and Trogir. There is no direct railway or metro station at the terminal, and summer road traffic can affect travel toward Split.
Split Airport Transfer Guide
A pre-booked Split Airport transfer provides direct road transportation from SPU to the destination entered during booking. It can be practical for travelers with substantial luggage, groups or families, and passengers continuing to accommodation, a marina or a ferry connection away from a convenient bus stop.
Enter the complete property name, street address and town. Split Airport is closer to Trogir than central Split, and similarly named hotels or apartments may be distributed across Split, Kaštela, Trogir and surrounding coastal areas.
Keep accurate flight information in the booking and follow the meeting-point instructions in the confirmation after landing. The exact AirportTransferNow pickup procedure depends on the selected booking and should not be confused with the public taxi area or airport shuttle boarding point.
Alternatives include taxis near the terminal, the dedicated shuttle to Split Main Bus Station and public buses toward Split and Trogir. The suitable option depends on the final address, luggage, operating schedule and any onward departure. During the busy summer season, allow for heavier road traffic when making time-sensitive connections.
Pickup at Split Airport
After landing, follow the arrival route, complete passport control where applicable, collect all checked baggage and pass customs before entering the terminal’s public area.
For an AirportTransferNow transfer, check the confirmation before proceeding to a vehicle or bus area. It contains the exact pickup instructions, meeting-point details and relevant contact information for the selected booking. Do not assume that the taxi point, shuttle stop or a particular terminal exit is the private-transfer meeting location.
The dedicated airport shuttle boards at the North parking lot and terminal entrance area. Taxis are available near the main terminal building during airport operating hours. These are separate public transport arrangements, so use them only if they match the transport option you have selected.
Taxi from Split Airport
Taxi services are available near the main passenger terminal during Split Airport operating hours. Travelers should follow the airport signs to the designated taxi point rather than accepting an unclear pickup arrangement elsewhere.
The airport does not publish one universal fixed taxi fare covering every destination. The final cost can depend on the destination, distance, vehicle, tariff and journey conditions. Ask for the applicable pricing method or an estimate before departure and request a receipt.
A trip to nearby Trogir differs considerably from a journey to Split, a coastal resort, marina or location farther across Dalmatia. Confirm both the town and complete address before entering the vehicle.
The taxi point is separate from AirportTransferNow pickup procedures. Passengers with a private-transfer booking should follow the meeting location in their confirmation rather than automatically joining the public taxi queue.
Public Transport from Split Airport
A dedicated airport shuttle operates between Split Airport and Split Main Bus Station. At the airport, passengers board or leave the shuttle at the North parking lot and terminal entrance area. The city stop is useful for central Split, the intercity bus network and onward travel toward the port, although an additional walk or local journey may be required.
Public buses also stop at Split Airport on routes toward Split and Trogir. Promet Split timetable information identifies route 37 as serving the Split–Airport–Trogir corridor. Check the destination displayed on the vehicle so that you travel in the correct direction.
Tickets for Promet Split public buses can be purchased through the operator’s mobile application or directly on the bus, subject to current operator rules.
The terminal has no direct railway or metro station. Bus services can suit passengers with manageable luggage and flexible schedules, while travelers making a time-sensitive ferry or intercity connection should account for waiting, local stops and seasonal traffic.
Private Transfer vs Taxi and Public Transport
A pre-booked private transfer provides direct transportation to the selected address, with the exact pickup procedure supplied in the confirmation. It may suit groups, substantial luggage, unfamiliar coastal addresses or passengers making an onward connection.
Taxis offer on-demand road travel from near the main terminal. They are flexible, but passengers should establish the pricing method and destination before departure.
The dedicated airport shuttle provides a direct connection to Split Main Bus Station. It can be practical for central Split or onward bus travel, but it does not deliver every passenger to their accommodation or ferry berth.
Local buses serve both Split and Trogir and may suit cost-sensitive travelers whose destination is near the route. They make intermediate stops and require attention to the direction of travel.
Rental cars offer flexibility across Dalmatia but add collection procedures, navigation, parking and responsibility for summer traffic.
Split Airport Transfer Prices
AirportTransferNow transfer prices depend on the destination, travel date, selected vehicle, passenger requirements and booking availability. A short journey toward Trogir differs from a transfer to Split or a destination farther along the Dalmatian coast. Check the live booking interface for the applicable total.
Taxi pricing depends on the relevant tariff, distance, vehicle and road conditions. Because the airport does not publish one durable fare for every destination, confirm the pricing basis before beginning the journey.
Shuttle and public bus fares are determined by their operators and can change. Public transport may reduce the individual fare but can require another journey to the hotel, marina or ferry terminal. Groups should compare the complete journey cost and required connections.
Tips for Your Split Airport Transfer
Enter the complete destination, including the correct town. Split, Trogir, Kaštela and other central Dalmatian communities have different routes despite sometimes being marketed together as the Split region.
Keep your booking confirmation accessible after landing and follow its exact pickup details. Provide the correct flight number and a contact method that will be available during the arrival period.
If continuing by ferry, confirm the correct port, vessel departure time and check-in requirement. Split Airport does not provide a direct terminal-to-vessel connection, and summer road congestion can affect the journey toward Split.
Check current shuttle and public bus schedules before travel. Passengers using local buses should confirm which direction the bus is traveling because airport stops serve routes toward both Split and Trogir.
Meet & Greet
Meet & Greet service is available with AirportTransferNow transfer bookings. Follow the meeting-point instructions provided in your booking confirmation, as the exact procedure and location may vary by airport, terminal and booking.
About Split Airport
Split Airport is located in Kaštel Štafilić, between Trogir and Split. The airport places itself approximately 6 kilometres from Trogir and 20 kilometres from Split, making the correct direction of travel particularly important when arranging ground transportation.
Arriving passengers use the main passenger terminal and can continue by pre-booked private transfer, taxi, airport shuttle, local bus or rental car. The airport shuttle serves Split Main Bus Station, while public buses stop at the airport on routes toward Split and Trogir.
The airport’s coastal location makes it a gateway not only to Split but also to towns, resorts, marinas and ferry connections across central Dalmatia. An accommodation name without the correct town can therefore be insufficient. Properties in Split, Trogir, Kaštela and coastal communities farther south or north involve different road journeys.
Summer road traffic can be heavy, especially toward Split. Travelers connecting with a ferry, intercity bus or other fixed departure should allow a suitable margin rather than relying on a normal off-season journey.

Where are taxis available at Split Airport?
Taxi services are available near the main passenger terminal during airport operating hours.

Is there a shuttle from Split Airport to central Split?
Yes. A dedicated airport shuttle operates between Split Airport and Split Main Bus Station. At SPU, the boarding area is at the North parking lot and terminal entrance. Check the current timetable before traveling and allow for an additional journey if the bus station is not close to your accommodation.
Can I take a public bus from Split Airport to Trogir?
Public buses stop at the airport on services toward both Split and Trogir. Promet Split timetable information identifies route 37 on the Split–Airport–Trogir corridor. Check the vehicle’s destination before boarding and verify the current timetable, especially outside the busiest summer period.
How does summer traffic affect Split Airport transfers?
Road traffic can be heavy during the summer, particularly in the direction of Split. Build additional time into journeys involving a flight, ferry, intercity bus or other fixed departure. The effect varies by travel date, time and destination, so normal off-season journey estimates may not be reliable.
