Private transfer from Zadar Airport to Makarska
Book a private, door-to-door transfer from Zadar Airport (ZAD) to Makarska at a guaranteed fixed price of 260 € per vehicle. There is no meter running and nothing to negotiate — the price you confirm is the price you pay, with road tolls and luggage included.
The full A1 south from Zadar to Zagvozd, then down through the Sveti Ilija tunnel under Biokovo and along the coast to Makarska — about two hours. Flying into Zadar for the Makarska Riviera usually means a cheaper ticket, and since the drive is nearly all motorway, the trade is far better than it looks on the map.
Zadar Airport (ZAD) lies just 10 km from Zadar's old town and is a popular arrival point for northern and central Dalmatia. Your driver waits for you at arrivals, so there is no searching for a ride after landing.
Makarska is the main town of the Makarska Riviera, a crescent of pebble beaches and palm-lined promenade beneath the bare limestone wall of Biokovo, whose summit, Sveti Jure, rises 1,762 metres almost straight out of the sea. The ferry to Sumartin on Brač leaves from its harbour.
The drive covers roughly 190 km and takes ~1 h 55 min in normal traffic. Your driver picks you up at the address you choose — accommodation, port, bus station or directly at the arrivals exit — and drops you off exactly where you need to be.
Travelling both ways? Book your return transfer together with this one and the return leg is 10% off — 494 € for both directions instead of 520 €.
