Traveling between Zagreb and Split doesn’t have to be a hassle. If you’re arriving at Zagreb Airport and heading straight to Split, a private transfer might be just what you need. I’ve come across a service that’s been getting some solid reviews and seems to make the journey smooth, secure, and reasonably comfortable. While I haven’t taken this exact ride myself, I’ve looked into what makes it stand out—and what to keep in mind.
What I love about this transfer is the all-inclusive nature—no hidden fees, door-to-door service, and a vehicle equipped with WiFi and air conditioning. Plus, the option to add child seats for free is a thoughtful touch for families. On the flip side, the price might seem steep at first glance, especially if you’re traveling solo or as a couple, but considering the convenience and comfort, many would say it’s worth it. This service is likely best suited for those who value a hassle-free, personalized transport experience and are traveling in a group or with family.

Why Choose a Private Transfer from Zagreb to Split

Traveling between Zagreb and Split can be done in many ways—bus, train, or rental car—but if you’re after a straightforward, worry-free ride, a private transfer is often the best bet. This particular service, offered by Split-Transfers, promises a seamless, door-to-door experience, taking the stress out of navigating public transport, especially if you’re unfamiliar with Croatian routes or arrive late at night.
The journey itself, roughly 4 hours, isn’t just about getting from point A to B—it’s about how you feel during that time. With a private transfer, you get a dedicated driver who knows the route well, can adapt to your schedule, and makes the whole trip more relaxed. Plus, with a vehicle that offers WiFi, you can catch up on emails, plan your day in Split, or just scroll through your favorite streaming service, which is a definite perk.

Booking and Price Value

At around $742 for a group of up to 8, this might seem a little pricey initially. However, when you break down the cost, it’s roughly $92 per person—if traveling with a full group, that’s quite reasonable for the comfort and convenience provided. It’s an all-inclusive rate, meaning no hidden charges, VAT included, and a straightforward booking process with no fees.
For travelers who appreciate transparency and simplicity, this is definitely a plus. The price also covers extras that make life easier—like baby seats and boosters, which are free, and pet transport, if needed. It’s a good option for families or groups wanting to avoid the unpredictability of shared transport or long taxi queues.
Vehicle Comfort and Amenities
The vehicles are described as modern, comfortable, and fitted with air conditioning—important for staying cool during the Croatian summer or warm in winter. The inclusion of free WiFi is a real bonus; long drives can sometimes become tedious, but with internet access, you can catch up on news or entertain your kids.
Another highlight is the water—each passenger gets a bottle, which is such a small but thoughtful detail. The capacity of each vehicle allows for one big piece of luggage and one hand luggage per person, which suffices for most trips, but if you’re carrying extra luggage, it’s best to inform the provider beforehand. They also accommodate pets, provided they’re in appropriate travel boxes, appealing to travelers with furry friends.
Luggage and Pet Transportation

You’ll want to plan your luggage accordingly—each passenger can take a large suitcase and a smaller carry-on, but heavier or more luggage will require special arrangements. It’s good that the service is flexible enough to accommodate additional needs if you communicate in advance.
Pet owners will appreciate that this transfer offers pet transportation, so your furry friends don’t have to stay behind or be left in unfamiliar taxi cabs. Just make sure they’re in travel boxes, and everything should go smoothly.
Punctuality, Drivers, and Local Knowledge

The driver is described as respectful and speaks English, with some knowledge of other European languages—which can be a real advantage if you need tips or directions during your ride. One reviewer highlighted a “comfortable trip” and appreciated the driver’s willingness to go beyond, even dropping them off at a residential address after they missed their boat.
Punctuality is implied to be a priority for this service, making it reliable for catching ferries, flights, or other scheduled connections in Split. Since the transfer is private, you won’t have to wait for other passengers or worry about delays caused by other trips.
