Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside the terminal or just outside, offering rides at inflated prices or without meters. Avoid by using only official taxi ranks outside the arrivals area, pre-booking through your hotel, or using ride-hailing apps. Look for vehicles with official taxi markings and insist the meter is used.

Currency Exchange Scams: Airport exchange offices typically offer poor rates with high commissions, sometimes advertising 'no commission' but hiding fees in unfavorable exchange rates. Avoid by withdrawing local currency (kuna/euros) from official ATMs inside the airport, or exchange only a small amount for immediate needs and use ATMs in the city for better rates.

Overpriced 'Official' Transport Services: Individuals claiming to represent 'official' airport shuttle services may approach you offering transport at premium prices, sometimes several times the normal rate. Avoid by researching legitimate airport transfer options before arrival, booking through verified services, or using the airport's official information desk to confirm legitimate transport providers and typical price ranges.
