How much is a taxi from Dubrovnik Airport to city Centre?

A Taxi station is right in front of the airport's main entrance. From there you can easily get a taxi to your destination. The cost of a taxi to the town is about 300 kuna (40 Euro).



As of 2026, the standard taxi fare from Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) to the city centre is a fixed rate of €30 (approximately $33 USD). This fare typically covers the 20-kilometer journey to the Old Town or the Ploče district. While the rate is officially fixed, it is common to leave a small tip of €1 to €3 for the driver if the service is good. It is important to note that many local taxis in Dubrovnik still prefer cash over credit cards, so it is wise to have Euros ready upon arrival. If you prefer to pay by card, using a rideshare app like Uber is an alternative; however, Uber prices in Dubrovnik use dynamic pricing and can sometimes exceed the fixed taxi rate during peak tourist hours or if there is a shortage of drivers. For a more "premium" experience, private airport transfers can also be pre-booked for the same €30 rate, which ensures a driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, potentially saving you time in the taxi queue during the busy summer months.
