Dubrovnik Airport Taxi
My wife and I are going to arrive at the Dubrovnik airport and will
need to take a taxi to our hotel, I won't have any Kuna. Do taxi drivers take credit cards? If not, will they take Euros, at a reasonable exchange rate? Or would I be best off getting Kuna from an ATM in the airport? Our hotel is the Valamar Lacroma Resort, Iva Dulcica 34. About how much in Kuna should I expect the ride to cost? |

About how much in Kuna should I expect the ride to cost? It's a short trip, maybe 30 minutes? Kuna would be easiest. I'd guess about 300 Kuna. There's a cheaper bus service if you wanted that. |

There's a cheaper bus service if you wanted that. Thanks. I'd like to avoid getting Kuna if possible, since I would end up with some left over that I wouldn't know what to do with (or else convert them to Euros at the airport when I leave, at a loss.) So, let me repeat my questions: Do taxi drivers take credit cards? If not, will they take Euros, at a reasonable exchange rate? |

They quote prices in Euros so it seems reasonable to assume that they accept them as a form of payment. -- JohnT |

They are a prebooked transfer service. Still, 35€ seems like a good price and I may use them . |

They are a prebooked transfer service. In many places in Europe, you may prebook taxis and you must prebook other wet-leased cars. Regards, ULF |

If you do use a taxi, order one from the official taxi service in the airport. That way the price will be fixed at the outset and you won't get any nasty surprises when you arrive. Four years ago we did that in St Petersburg, and although the price was a little higher than some of the cowboy operators were advertising that's what it actually cost. Friends of ours who went to the same hotel as we did but used a cowboy taxi paid five times as much as we did. Dubrovnik may be more civilized than St Petersburg, but I wouldn't count on it. You can ask when you book it what sort of payment they accept. If it turns out to be Croatian money only then at that moment you can get some from a machine. -- athel |
