# Pula Airport Transfer Guide (PUY) How to get from Pula Airport to Pula and Istria: the EUR 6.00 airport shuttle, taxis at the exit and pre-booked transfers. **Airport:** PUY **City:** Pula **Country:** Croatia **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/puy **Last updated:** 2026-10-27 Prices and transport schedules in this editorial guide are indicative. Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick answer Pula Airport (PUY) serves Pula and the Istria peninsula in Croatia. The airport operator, Zračna luka Pula d.o.o., runs its own shuttle bus between the airport and Pula bus station (platform 16) for EUR 6.00 one way. Taxis wait just outside the exit, next to the bus terminal, and there is no official taxi tariff on the airport's pages. By car, the airport is reached from the Istrian "Y" motorway. The shuttle is the cheap, simple choice if its timetable suits your flight. A taxi is the option for going straight to an address, and a pre-booked private transfer is confirmed before you fly. Use the quote tool on this page for your destination. ### What actually happens after landing The airport pages we read do not describe the arrivals hall, baggage reclaim or waiting times, so we do not describe them. What they do say is how the shuttle is tied to flights: the airport-to-bus-station departure leaves 30 minutes after the aircraft lands. That is a useful rule of thumb, but the airport also says the plans can change with the flight schedule, so check the shuttle page for your date. Keep your booking confirmation and your accommodation address on your phone. ### Transport options explained honestly **Airport shuttle bus:** The shuttle runs between the airport and Pula bus station (Trg I istarske brigade 1, platform 16). The ticket is EUR 6.00 one way, and you can pay by credit card or in cash in euros. The bus from the airport leaves 30 minutes after your aircraft lands. The service depends on the flight schedule and changes from day to day. As an example from the airport's page, on 27 October 2026 the bus station to airport departure was at 15:00 and the airport to bus station departure was at 16:15, and the page showed "NO FLIGHTS" for 7 November 2026. The page adds that transport plans are subject to change when flight times change. **Taxi:** Taxis are ready immediately as you leave the airport, next to the bus terminal. The taxi page shows a parking and access scheme in force from 1 July 2023, not a tariff. **Car:** From Rijeka and from Trieste, take the Istrian "Y" motorway towards Pula. Near the Loborika bay, about 5 km before the city, there is a sign for the airport. From the south or from the centre of Pula, follow the signs towards Rijeka and the airport signs. **Pre-booked private transfer:** The price is confirmed when you book, and the driver goes to the address you give. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver meets you as stated in your booking confirmation. Use the quote tool on this page for your destination. ### Realistic pricing expectations The shuttle fare is EUR 6.00 one way, by credit card or cash in euros, according to the airport's shuttle page. We read it on 2026-10-27, and we cannot guarantee it is current on your travel date. The airport publishes no official taxi tariff, so we cannot say what a taxi costs. Agree the total with the driver before you set off. The airport pages give no distance to the city centre. Our route database estimates 6 km and about 15 minutes to Pula city centre, 8 km and 15 minutes to Medulin, 31 km and 47 minutes to Rovinj, and 45 km and 68 minutes to Poreč. These are estimates, not official figures. For a pre-booked private transfer, use the quote tool on this page for your destination, and the price is confirmed when you book. ### Late night arrivals The airport pages do not publish a general night service. The only night-time detail is that on some days the shuttle has a departure at 22:15 or 22:30, and this depends on the flights. Do not assume a late bus or a fixed night timetable. The shuttle leaves 30 minutes after landing, but the airport says its plans can change when the flight schedule changes. If you land late, a taxi at the exit or a pre-booked transfer confirmed before you fly is the safer plan. Give your flight number at booking and see the late-night page for more. ### Families and luggage The airport pages we read give no statement on family services, luggage help, strollers or child seats, so we say nothing about them. If you need a child seat, no official statement was found, so request it when you book a private transfer, give the child's age and weight, and confirm it in your booking confirmation. Do not assume a taxi or the shuttle has one. With several bags or a stroller, tell your transfer provider the group size and bag count when you book. ### Where you meet the driver For the shuttle, the airport's page names Pula bus station, platform 16, as the other end of the route. It does not describe the stop at the airport, so we do not either; follow the airport signs and ask airport staff if unsure. The taxis wait just outside the exit, next to the bus terminal. For a pre-booked private transfer, the meeting point and driver details are in your booking confirmation. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, follow the instructions there. If you cannot find your driver, contact the number in your confirmation. ### Decision helper **Choose the shuttle if:** your flight is on a day with a shuttle departure, you are going to Pula bus station, and you are happy to travel 30 minutes after landing for EUR 6.00. **Choose a taxi if:** you want to go straight to an address or the shuttle does not suit your time. Agree the price first, because no tariff is published. **Choose a pre-booked transfer if:** you want the price and the driver confirmed before you fly, or you travel as a group or with children. ## Summary Pula Airport has a EUR 6.00 shuttle to Pula bus station that follows the flight schedule, taxis waiting at the exit, and a motorway approach for drivers. The airport publishes no taxi tariff, no night timetable and no family services, so confirm anything beyond the published facts before you rely on it. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - Zračna luka Pula d.o.o.

The airport to bus station departure leaves 30 minutes after the aircraft lands. The ticket is EUR 6.00 one way, by credit card or in cash in euros.

It leaves the airport 30 minutes after the aircraft lands, and the timetable depends on the flights.

The taxi page shows a parking and access scheme in force from 1 July 2023, but it is not a tariff table, and we found no official taxi tariff. So we cannot tell you what a taxi costs. Agree the total with the driver before you get in, and ask whether the price is for the whole vehicle. ## The pre-booked private transfer The price is confirmed when you book, and the driver goes to the address you give. Use the quote tool on this page for your destination. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver meets you as stated in your booking confirmation. ## How to choose **Choose the shuttle if:** you are going to Pula bus station and your flight day has a departure. **Choose a taxi if:** you want a direct ride and are happy to agree the price at the rank. **Choose a private transfer if:** you want the price and the driver confirmed before you fly, or you travel with a group, bags or children. ## A note on distance The airport pages give no distance to the city centre. Our route database estimates 6 km and about 15 minutes to Pula city centre, which is an estimate, not an official figure. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - Zračna luka Pula d.o.o.

The airport pages we read say nothing about family services, so this page is short and says so. ## What is not published We found no official statement on stroller help, luggage services or child seats at Pula Airport, so we do not describe any. Do not assume a taxi or the shuttle has a child seat. ## Child seats If you need a child seat, no official statement was found, so request it when you book a private transfer, give the child's age and weight, and confirm it in your booking confirmation. If you plan to take a taxi, ask the driver whether a suitable seat is available before you set off, rather than assuming. ## The airport shuttle The shuttle runs between the airport and Pula bus station for EUR 6.00 one way. The airport to bus station departure leaves 30 minutes after landing, and the timetable depends on the flights. The page does not say anything about luggage space or strollers on board, so ask the airport if this matters to you. Waiting 30 minutes with tired children may not suit everyone. ## Taxis Taxis are ready immediately at the exit, next to the bus terminal, which is simple with small children. No tariff is published, so agree the price before you set off, and tell the driver the group size and the bag count. ## Late arrivals No general night service is published. With tired children after a late landing, a transfer confirmed in advance is usually the calmer choice. Use the quote tool on this page for your destination. ## Practical points Carry water, snacks and any medicine in your hand luggage, and keep passports and your accommodation address within reach. ## The bottom line With young children, settle the vehicle, the seat and the meeting point before you fly. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - Zračna luka Pula d.o.o.
