Taxi Rules & Scams to Avoid

During peak July-August season, uncredentialed taxi drivers target ferry travelers; use Uber, Bolt, or the official Pleso Prijevoz airport coach directly outside the doors.

Late-Night Arrivals (After Midnight)

Pleso Prijevoz shuttle buses coordinate with scheduled flight arrivals. For late-night landings, Uber and official airport taxis are stationed outside 24/7.

STRESS-FREE DOOR-TO-DOOR OPTION

ARRIVAL CONNECTIVITY & RIDE-HAILING TIP

Need Mobile Data at the Terminal for Uber / Bolt & Maps?

Airport Wi-Fi often drops outside the terminal curb where Uber / Bolt pickup zones are located. Install a local eSIM before your flight so you can order a ride, translate station signs, and show digital train QR tickets immediately after landing.
