With a catchment area that stretches from Zadar city to the Kornati islands, Krka National Park, Plitvice Lakes, and destinations as far south as Šibenik and Vodice, the airport is the arrival point for a wide range of visitors — and a pre-booked private taxi transfer from Zadar Airport is by far the most efficient and stress-free way to reach your destination.

Zadar Airport (IATA: ZAD) is located approximately 8 km east of Zadar city centre, in the area of Zemunik Donji. It is one of the most conveniently located airports in Croatia, sitting close to several major tourist destinations while offering easy access to the coastal road network.
Key distances and approximate transfer times from Zadar Airport by private vehicle:
All times are approximate and may be longer during peak summer months when coastal road traffic is heavier. Your Go Shuttle driver will advise on expected journey times when confirming your booking the evening before.
Your Go Shuttle driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a clearly visible name sign showing your name. There is no need to look for a taxi rank, navigate public transport, or wait in a queue. Once you collect your luggage and pass through customs, your driver will assist with your bags and lead you directly to the vehicle.
Go Shuttle monitors all incoming flights in real time. If your flight arrives early or is delayed, your driver will be there when you land — with no additional charges for delays caused by the airline.
At Go Shuttle, we operate a fleet of well-maintained, modern vehicles across two main categories:
Standard sedan — ideal for individuals, couples, or small families travelling with up to 3 passengers and 3 standard suitcases. Clean, air-conditioned, and perfectly suited for transfers to Zadar city and nearby destinations.
Minivan / MPV — suited for larger families or groups of up to 7–8 passengers, with generous luggage capacity. The right choice for groups travelling to any destination in the Zadar Airport catchment area.
All vehicles are non-smoking, regularly serviced, and meet Croatian transport safety standards. Child seats and booster seats are available on request.
The booking process takes under two minutes:
You can also book via WhatsApp or phone. We recommend booking in advance during summer (June–September) when Zadar Airport is at its busiest.
For travellers departing from destinations around northern Dalmatia, a Go Shuttle taxi transfer to Zadar Airport works in exactly the same way in reverse. Your driver will pick you up from your accommodation at a time calculated to ensure you arrive at the airport comfortably ahead of your check-in deadline. The driver confirms this time the evening before departure.
Given that Zadar Airport is only 8 km from the city centre, departures from Zadar itself require a relatively modest buffer. For travellers coming from further destinations such as Vodice, Šibenik, or Tisno, the driver will factor in typical journey times and any seasonal traffic patterns when recommending a pickup time.
