Yes, Hvar has a robust taxi system in 2026, though they are notably expensive compared to mainland Croatia. Taxis are readily available at the main ferry ports in Hvar Town and Stari Grad. Because much of Hvar Town is a pedestrian-only zone, the taxi stands are located on the outskirts, near the bus station. In 2026, you can book taxis via phone or specialized local apps like "Hvar Taxi," but global apps like Uber do not operate as reliably on the island as they do in Split or Zagreb. A typical ride from Hvar Town to Stari Grad or Jelsa can cost between €35 and €60. For late-night travel after the island's famous beach parties, taxis are the only option as the public buses stop running in the evening. If you are traveling in a group, "water taxis" (small speedboats) are also common for getting to the nearby Pakleni Islands, offering a more scenic and often faster alternative to the land-based cabs for coastal destinations.
