Zadar to Split is one of the great Dalmatian road journeys — 156 kilometres of motorway that cuts through the karst interior, crosses the Krka river valley on a spectacular viaduct above Šibenik, and arrives in one of the busiest and most beautiful cities on the Adriatic coast. A private transfer from Zadar to Split with Go Shuttle covers that distance in as little as 1 hour 25 minutes, with your driver collecting you from any Zadar address and delivering you to any address in Split — without a coach timetable, a bus station detour, or a meter running the whole way down the motorway.
Split rewards the journey: Diocletian’s Palace — a late Roman emperor’s retirement complex where people have lived without interruption for 1,700 years — sits right in the city centre, its walls now lined with restaurants, bars, and boutiques. The Riva waterfront, the Marjan peninsula, the ferry connections to Hvar and Braç — it all starts the moment you arrive. Your Go Shuttle transfer makes sure that moment happens on your schedule.
Old town hotel, Borik apartment, Diklo villa — your driver comes to your door, loads every bag, and you’re on the motorway within minutes. No walk to a bus stop, no coach station.
Riva waterfront, Diocletian’s Palace area, ferry terminal, bus station, ACI Marina — your driver goes to the exact address, not a generic drop point on the edge of town.
Heading from Zadar to catch a Split ferry to Hvar or Braç? Tell us your sailing time and your driver will time the run from Zadar to get you to the boarding quay with room to breathe.
Three toll booths between Zadar and Split. Every one is in your quoted fare, along with the fuel. The number at booking is the number you pay in Split — full stop.
Morning, afternoon, or evening — you pick the departure time and your driver works around it. No timetable to match, no fixed departure slots.
Plans change. Cancel any time up to 24 hours before pickup and you owe nothing — no cancellation fee, no form, no fuss.
No deposit required, no card details at booking. Pay the driver when you arrive in Split — cash or card, your choice.
Up to 8 passengers in our minivan, serious luggage included. For three or more people the per-head cost of a private transfer often beats the coach — and you travel door to door.
Your driver arrives at your Zadar address and the bags are in the boot before you’ve had time to second-guess whether you packed too much. The route heads south out of the city, crosses the Zadar bridge over the channel, and joins the A1 motorway for the long run south. The landscape opens out quickly: bare limestone karst, stone walls, sparse pine, and a horizon that seems to go on forever. It’s one of the emptier stretches of Croatian motorway and the better for it.
Around the halfway point, the motorway crosses the Krka river estuary on the high Šibenik viaduct — the city spreads below, the old harbour and the cathedral visible from the bridge before the road bends south again. Past Šibenik the karst gives way gradually to the broader coastal approach to Split, and the road descends toward the ring road that brings you into the city from the north. Your driver threads through to your exact address — Riva waterfront, Palace area, ferry terminal, bus station, or hotel — with all luggage handled to the door.
If you’re heading to Split to catch a ferry to Hvar, Braç, or Vis, mention your sailing operator and departure time when booking. Jadrolinija car ferries typically close boarding 15 minutes before departure — your driver will plan the Zadar departure to ensure you’re at the right quay in time, bags and all.

The coach is the budget option but it starts at Zadar bus station (a taxi ride from the old town), stops in Šibenik, and finishes at Split bus station well outside the centre. For anyone with luggage or a time-sensitive onward connection in Split, the maths on a private transfer — especially for three or more people — is straightforward.
