PRIVATE DRIVER
Your private driver in Croatia — book before you arrive
Why book a private driver in advance?
Planning your transport before you land makes a Croatian holiday so much simpler. Instead of hunting for a taxi, comparing ride apps or waiting for a car to turn up — especially in the busy summer months — you arrive to a dependable local driver who is ready whenever you need one.
It's the easiest way to get around if you're staying near Šibenik, Skradin, Vodice or Krka National Park, where on-demand transport can be hard to find. One driver looks after your airport arrival, dinners out, beach trips, day excursions and evenings out — every price agreed in advance, road tolls and luggage included.
What guests use it for
- Airport pick-up and drop-off

Why Not Just Sort It Out There?
CompareHonest comparison: a booked private driver, a ride app, or the bus
Around Šibenik, Skradin and Krka you are not in a big city, and that changes what "just order a car" actually means. Here is what each option looks like in practice, so you can decide before you land rather than at the arrivals hall.
Private driver
Agreed before you travel — one local driver for your whole stay.
- You know who is coming: the same local driver, name and phone in your hand before you fly
- One fixed price, agreed in writing — it does not change with the hour, the season or the demand
- Door to door, at the time you choose — no meeting point, no walk with luggage
- A local who knows the roads, the park entrances, where to park and when to go
- Flight delayed? We watch the arrival and wait — nothing to rebook
- Tolls, luggage and child seats included, cash or card
- Reachable on WhatsApp before and during your stay, in English
Ride apps (Uber, Bolt)
Whoever happens to be nearby when you press the button.
- You have no idea which car or which driver will turn up until it is assigned — a stranger every ride
- The price moves with demand: the same trip can cost far more at an airport, late at night or in August
- Drivers usually come from Split or Zagreb and do not know the Krka area, the back roads or the entrances
- Coverage thins out fast away from the big cities — in Skradin, Drniš or Knin a car can be a long wait, or none at all
- Nobody waits for a late flight: you order after landing and queue with everyone else on the plane
- Rides get cancelled by the driver and you start the wait again
- Boot space, child seats and a driver who speaks English are all a lottery
Buses & public transport
Cheap, if your day happens to fit the timetable.
- The timetable decides your day — outside July and August some lines run once or twice a day
- Stations are rarely near your apartment, so each end of the trip needs a walk or another taxi anyway
- Luggage, heat and a change in Šibenik between two connections
- Many places have no direct line at all — including several Krka entrances and the smaller inland towns
- The last bus back often leaves mid-afternoon, so the best part of the day is spent watching the clock
- Airport shuttles only run to city centres, on their own schedule, not to your door
- With three or four people the fares add up to about what a private car costs
It comes down to one thing: with a private driver everything is settled before you arrive — who is driving, what it costs and when he is there. On holiday that is usually worth more than the few euros a bus ticket saves, especially with children, luggage, an early flight or a dinner reservation you would rather not miss.
