    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?

    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.

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

    They call themselves Airport taxi http://www.dubrovnikairporttaxi.com/about-us.php but maybe
    they aren't real taxi.

    They are a prebooked transfer service.

    In many places in Europe, you
    may prebook taxis and you must prebook
    other wet-leased cars.

    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.

    OK, thanks. I'm leaning toward the

    If you're getting so tied up fixing a cab from the airport, how on earth are you going to survive Dubrovnik?

    Why don't you ask here? http://www.dubrovnikairporttaxi.com/

    Too hard to find?



    They quote prices in Euros so it seems reasonable to assume that they accept

    them as a form of payment.







    Yes, but they aren't really a taxi service, which is what I asked

    about. They are a prebooked transfer service.



    Still, 35€ seems like a good price and I may use them .


    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.


    OK, thanks. I'm leaning toward the
    http://www.dubrovnikairporttaxi.com/ service, but we'll see.

    If you're getting so tied up fixing a cab from the airport, how on earth are you going to survive Dubrovnik?

    Something that occurred to me too. :-)

    Maybe there are Ubers there?


    I thought that I had already checked, and Uber wasn't available there.
    But your message prompted me to check again, and I was wrong--they
    *are* available.

    So that's what I'll use. Thanks very much.

    Mind they don't rip you off.
