Airport Transportation in Pula

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Pula Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Pula takes you to hotels and apartments around the Roman arena and the old town, to the Verudela peninsula, to Medulin and Premantura, to Fažana for the Brijuni boats, and up the coast to Rovinj, Vrsar, Poreč and Rabac.

Pula Airport Transfers

Pula airport transfers start in the arrivals hall of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign after baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for your vehicle is fixed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.

Each Pula airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa in Pula, Medulin, Fažana, Rovinj, Poreč or Rabac. Heading to Trieste or Slovenia? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.

Pula Airport Shuttle

Our Pula airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not the shared airport bus or a resort shuttle that stops in several towns on the way. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and bikes, and suits families and groups staying in Medulin, Rovinj or Poreč.

Landing at Pula Airport

Pula Airport (PUY) stands at Valtursko polje in Ližnjan, northeast of Pula, and serves all of Istria. All flights use one small terminal with no jet bridges, so you walk or ride a bus from the aircraft to the building.

Flights from Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; from outside the Schengen area, including the UK, you line up at passport control. After baggage claim you go through customs into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.

Croatia is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. It uses the euro.

Entry requirements and local notes

Schengen entry. Croatia is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.

Euro and cash. Croatia has used the euro since 2023. Cards are widely accepted, though small cafés, markets and some beach bars prefer cash.

Bilingual place names. Istria is officially bilingual, so signs show Croatian and Italian names, such as Pula/Pola, Rovinj/Rovigno and Poreč/Parenzo. Either name works in your booking.

Car-free old towns. The old towns of Rovinj and Poreč are closed to traffic, so give your full address; your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Pula Airport is about 6 km (4 miles) northeast of Pula city center, a drive of about 15 to 20 minutes. Medulin is about 15 minutes away, Rovinj about 45 minutes and Poreč about an hour.

Can you take me to Medulin or Premantura?

Yes. We drive to hotels, campsites and apartments in Medulin, Banjole, Pomer and Premantura on the southern tip of Istria.

Can you take me to Rovinj?

Yes. We drive door to door to hotels and apartments in Rovinj. The old town is car-free, so your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Can you take me to Poreč, Vrsar or Rabac?

Yes. We drive to hotels, resorts and apartments in Poreč, Vrsar and Funtana on the west coast, and in Rabac and Labin on the east coast.

Trieste in Italy and the Slovenian coast are across the border to the north. Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered; if it is not, contact us before you fly.

How many terminals does Pula Airport have?

One. All domestic and international flights use the same small terminal, and every arriving passenger comes out into the same arrivals hall.

Do you drive to apartments and vacation rentals in Istria?

Yes. Give the full street address, the apartment number and any entrance details. For villas in the countryside, add the house name or a map pin, as some rural roads have no house numbers.

Can I book a pickup for a late-night or early-morning flight?

Yes. Enter your flight number and time when you book; the pickup is set for your arrival or departure, whatever the hour.

Should I buy transportation from people offering rides inside Pula Airport?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Pula Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, apartment or villa, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.

What do I need to enter Croatia at Pula Airport?

Croatia is in the Schengen area, so flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks, and arrivals from outside it, including the UK, go through passport control. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES); the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.
