Can you use Uber in Dubrovnik Croatia?

Uber is available in most places in Dubrovnik, with the exception of inside the city walls, where cars aren't allowed. If you're exploring the Old Town, you'll need to head to one of the entrances to meet your Uber driver.



Yes, Uber is fully operational in Dubrovnik and throughout most of Croatia, having been a legal and popular transport option since 2015. You can use the standard Uber app to request UberX (the most affordable), Uber Comfort, or Uber Van for larger groups. It is particularly useful for transfers between Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) and the Old Town, typically costing between €30 and €50 depending on demand. A unique feature of Uber in this region is UberBoat, which occasionally operates during the peak summer months, allowing you to book speedboats for island hopping. Because Dubrovnik’s Old Town is entirely pedestrianized, your Uber will drop you at one of the main gates (like Pile Gate or Ploče Gate). While traditional taxis are also available, Uber is often preferred by international travelers for its upfront pricing, in-app safety features, and the ability to pay digitally, avoiding the need for local currency (Euro) for every short trip.
