Airport Transportation in Split

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Split Saint Jerome 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 Split runs from Split Saint Jerome Airport to hotels, apartments and villas in Split's Old Town and around the ferry port, in Trogir and on Čiovo, and along the Kaštela coast.

Split Airport Transfers

Our Split airport transfers start in the arrivals hall of the 2019 terminal extension, where your driver waits just after baggage claim and customs with a sign showing your name. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, even on summer days when many flights land close together.

Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Split airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa, or to the city port for boats to Hvar and Brač. Going on to the Makarska Riviera, Dubrovnik or Bosnia and Herzegovina? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Split Airport Shuttle

Our Split airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your address or the ferry port, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and sailing bags, so it suits families, friends sharing a villa and crews joining a yacht charter.

Landing at Split Airport

Split Saint Jerome Airport (SPU) is in Kaštela, on the west side of Kaštela Bay, west of Split and close to Trogir. It has one terminal: the 2019 extension holds check-in, arrivals and baggage claim, and the refurbished original building handles some international departures.

Croatia is in the Schengen area, so passengers on flights from outside it, such as the UK, Serbia, Turkey or the US, go through passport control on arrival. The arrivals hall opens straight onto the forecourt, and the car parks, car rental and bus terminal are across the D409 road, reached by an enclosed footbridge.

Split runs on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time in summer.

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.

Ferry connections. Ferries and catamarans to Hvar and Brač leave from Split's city port, next to the main bus station. Give us your sailing time when you book, so your drop-off fits it.

Euro currency. Croatia uses the euro, and ATMs and a currency exchange are in the terminal.

Seasonal flights. Most flights to Split run between spring and autumn, and the arrivals hall is busiest in summer, so keep your phone on when you land.
