Getting from Zadar to Split—or vice versa—can be a bit of a logistical puzzle, especially if you’re juggling luggage or trying to stick to a tight schedule. That’s where a private transfer like this one from Taxi Transfer Zadar really shines. Though I haven’t personally taken this exact ride, it’s clear that this service aims to offer a smooth, personalized experience that makes travel between these two iconic Croatian cities effortless.
I especially appreciate the courteous drivers and newer, comfortable vehicles. Plus, the fact that you can make short stops along the way adds a nice touch of flexibility. The only caveat? The price per group might seem a bit high if you’re traveling alone, but for groups up to four, it actually offers good value considering the comfort and service level. This kind of experience is perfect if you want a hassle-free ride without the unpredictability of public transport or shared shuttles.
If you’re someone who values reliable pickups and personalized service, this could be just what you need. It’s especially suitable for travelers with luggage or those who might need a bit of extra help—like the reviewer Kathy, who praised the driver’s kindness and willingness to carry luggage, especially given her husband’s recent hospital stay. For anyone looking for a straightforward, private transfer with a touch of comfort, this option deserves serious consideration.

Why This Transfer Stands Out

Traveling between Zadar and Split doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated. This private transfer service offers a straightforward way to get you where you need to go without the fuss. The main selling points are the reliability of the driver, the quality of the vehicle, and the personalized touches—like helping with luggage or making stops if needed.
The fact that the vehicle is newer and meticulously cleaned reassures travelers who want comfort and cleanliness. The onboard WiFi and chargers are thoughtful features, especially if you’re trying to catch up on emails, share your trip, or just keep your devices powered up during the journey.

The Experience
Once you book, your driver will be waiting for you at your designated pickup spot—whether it’s your hotel, the city center, or the airport. They load your bags and then you settle into the air-conditioned, roomy vehicle. This is especially welcome during the hot Croatian summers when a cool, comfortable ride makes all the difference.
The ride itself can last between 1 to 2 hours, depending on traffic and stops. We loved the way the driver’s professionalism made the whole process smooth—no waiting around or worrying about timing. If you need a quick stop to stretch or take photos along the way, just ask. From the review by Kathy, it’s clear that drivers are responsive and go above and beyond, which adds a lot of value, especially if you’re traveling with extra needs or just want a more personal touch.
What You Get
- Comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle that’s properly maintained and regularly inspected
- WiFi onboard to keep you connected
- Power chargers for your devices
- Child seats available for all ages
- All fees and taxes included in the price
What’s Not Included
The trip is straightforward—food and drinks are not covered, so plan to bring water or snacks if you think you’ll need them. But knowing that you’re protected with a full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours in advance offers peace of mind.
The Real-World Perspective

From actual feedback, it’s evident that this service delivers a high level of satisfaction. Kathy’s review, for example, highlights the driver’s kindness and professionalism—not to mention the comfort she experienced, which was especially meaningful given her circumstances. Her comment about the driver carrying luggage for her husband after hospital discharge speaks to the attentiveness that can turn a simple transfer into a thoughtful gesture.
While the price might seem steep for an individual traveler, consider it as a way to avoid the unpredictability of shared transportation or public buses. For groups, it’s a solid deal that offers convenience, comfort, and peace of mind—things that are often worth paying a little extra for when traveling in unfamiliar territory.
