Transfer Prices from Pula Airport

We operate from Ljubljana. The price includes our drive to the airport and back home — not just the km from Pula to your destination. Final price confirmed at booking.

Lake Bled	On the way back	€300	€400
Rovinj / Poreč / Umag	Ask for price	→ WhatsApp / call

Why "ask for price"? Rovinj is 40 km from Pula — but we drive from Ljubljana (280 km empty), transfer you (40 km), then return home (300 km). That's ~620 km total, not 40. The price is fair — it just needs to be quoted individually.
