Flying out of Zadar Airport after spending time in Split? A premium Split limo and private transfer service is the most comfortable and reliable way to reach Zadar Airport (ZAD) — door pickup from your exact Split address, a fixed price covering the full 144 km, and a professional driver who times the journey specifically around your departure. With Go Shuttle, you travel in comfort along one of Croatia's most scenic inland and coastal routes, arriving at Zadar Airport departures with time to spare and none of the stress of self-managed transport.
Zadar Airport is a popular departure point for travellers who begin their Croatian holiday in Split and explore the northern Dalmatian coast before flying home — an itinerary that suits island-hoppers, national park visitors, and those covering both Šibenik and Zadar. Whatever your reason for flying from ZAD, Go Shuttle covers the 1 hour 27 minute transfer with precision and comfort.
Split to Zadar Airport (ZAD)
The transfer from Split to Zadar Airport follows the A1 motorway north before connecting to the coastal hinterland route through central Dalmatia — a journey that trades the clifftop sea views of the coastal highway for the equally dramatic inland landscapes of limestone hills, river valleys, and scattered stone villages. Your driver collects you from your exact Split address and heads north, passing quickly through the Kaštela bay area and Trogir before joining the efficient motorway corridor that makes this a genuinely comfortable airport transfer.
The route passes through the Šibenik region — home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites and the dramatic Krka river gorge — before the landscape opens into the broader Zadar hinterland. The final approach to Zadar Airport at Zemunik, approximately 8 km east of Zadar city, is reached via the A1 motorway junction, making this a clean and direct airport transfer with no city traffic to navigate.
Your driver delivers you directly to the Zadar Airport departures terminal, so you step out of the vehicle and walk straight to check-in. The airport is compact and efficient — security and check-in move quickly when you arrive with appropriate time, and your Go Shuttle driver will ensure you do.
💡 Departure tip: Allow at least 2 hours at Zadar Airport before your scheduled departure for check-in and security. In peak summer (July–August) traffic around Trogir and on the A1 approach can add 15–25 minutes. Your Go Shuttle driver will confirm the ideal departure time from Split when booking, based on your specific flight schedule.
