Start with the fixed points in your day

First appointment

Give the full arrival address in Zagreb and the time your group needs to be ready there, rather than using the event start as the pickup time.

Movement between visits

List every venue in visit order. Tell us which stops need a waiting vehicle and which only require a later collection.

Last departure

Finish the brief with your last drop-off in Zagreb, or the next destination if the group continues elsewhere.

The airport shuttle and city bus reach different Zagreb destinations

Zagreb Airport lists the Pleso Prijevoz shuttle to the Central Bus Station and ZET bus 290 between Kvaternik Square and Velika Gorica via the airport. Those services do not have the same city endpoint. Decide which connection fits the actual hotel or meeting address before asking the group to use scheduled transport.

For private airport transport, send the complete destination address and request agreed boarding instructions. If some passengers arrive by intercity coach, identify the Central Bus Station separately from the airport; a combined collection must account for both arrival times.

Your Zagreb transport questions

Do all Zagreb Airport buses go to the Central Bus Station?

No. The airport lists the Pleso Prijevoz shuttle to the Central Bus Station, while ZET 290 serves the Kvaternik Square–Velika Gorica route via the airport. Check the endpoint before planning the onward meeting.

How should I organise several timed visits in Zagreb?

Put the venues in order with a required arrival time for each one. Use full addresses in Zagreb, Zagreb, and distinguish a waiting period from a new pickup. The schedule can then be checked as a complete itinerary.

Can our Zagreb enquiry include an onward visit to Rijeka?

Yes, you can request an onward leg to Rijeka. The map references are about 131 km apart in a straight line. This does not establish the road distance or vehicle availability. Give the onward address, the visit duration and whether you need to return.

What should I include for arrivals at Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport (ZAG)?

Use the airport shown on your ticket, such as Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport (ZAG), along with the flight number, date, terminal if known and number of bags. State any arrivals on different flights; collection arrangements and waiting terms need confirmation.

How do the Rijeka and Split stops compare from Zagreb?

From the Zagreb geographic reference, Rijeka is approximately 131.3 km away in a straight line and Split is 258.9 km away. Rijeka is listed in Primorje-Gorski Kotar; Split is listed in Split-Dalmatia. The more distant stop needs to be treated as a separate stage of the itinerary, including any connections or overnight plans. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.

Choose transport for your Zagreb itinerary
