Croatia - moving around the country
Taxi in Croatia is also popular, although it is relatively not expensive. Average boarding fee will cost about two and a half dollars, and at least 1 dollar for every next kilometer. Please note that this excludes the luggage fee. Almost every car has a meter, so you can monitor and calculate the cost of travel. However, prices in cities at the peak of the tourist seasons can rise by two or three times the usual amount. At night (from 10 pm to 5 am), the taxi fare rises by 20%.
