What to know before your transfer at Rijeka Airport (RJK)
Tolls, charges, terminal pickup zones and local rules that affect your private transfer at Rijeka Airport (RJK).
Fixed Price Includes All Road Charges
The Krk Bridge toll has been free since June 2020. All tolls and fees on the D102 state road to Rijeka city centre are included in your fixed Transfeero price—zero hidden charges or surprises on arrival.
Driver Meets You at Baggage-Hall Exit
Your Transfeero driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit holding a name sign. Free 60-minute wait included if your flight is delayed; flight tracked in real time with automatic terminal and delay updates at no extra cost.
D102 State Road: 25 km to Rijeka Centre
Rijeka Airport to city centre is 25 km via the D102 state road and Krk Bridge. Typical journey: 25–30 minutes off-peak; 35–45 minutes during July–August peak tourist season when bridge queues form.

Transfer insights for Rijeka Airport
Rijeka Airport (RJK) operates a single, modest terminal building with seven gates and one baggage belt in the arrivals hall. After clearing passport control and collecting luggage, passengers exit into the arrivals public area where car rental, an information desk, and transport options are signposted. The driver meeting point is the baggage-hall exit in the arrivals hall itself—your driver holds a name sign and waits free for 60 minutes if your flight is delayed, with real-time flight monitoring.
The route from Rijeka Airport to the city centre follows the D102 state road across the Krk Bridge, a 25 km journey typically taking 25–30 minutes under normal conditions. Peak congestion occurs in July and August when tourist traffic queues extend several kilometres on the bridge approach; strong bora winds occasionally trigger temporary bridge restrictions. The D103 connector road links the airport terminal directly to D102, creating a straightforward route with no navigational ambiguity.
All tolls and road charges on the airport-to-Rijeka route are included in your fixed Transfeero price—the Krk Bridge has been toll-free since June 2020, and the D102 state road incurs no additional fees. You will never face surprise charges or hidden costs; your driver adjusts to delays and terminal changes at no extra expense, and child seats are provided free on request.
Local taxis queue at the airport rank but carry no guarantee of availability during peak arrivals; surge pricing during summer months can inflate fares to €60 or more. The official airport shuttle bus runs hourly at €15 but requires a 30-minute journey to Rijeka Autobusni Kolodvor and offers no door-to-door convenience. Ride-hailing apps suffer the same surge-pricing risk and require you to navigate traffic with luggage. A pre-booked Transfeero transfer eliminates queues, fixes your cost in advance, and delivers you directly to your hotel or address with a professional driver holding your name sign.
