From the Adriatic to the Austrian capital in one day by private car. Up the A1 through Dalmatia and Lika, around Zagreb, across Slovenia by Maribor and into Austria past Graz — about 8h 15m of driving from your Split hotel or Split Airport to your address in Vienna.
Split to Vienna is a full day on the road: about 8h 15m of driving before any stops or border time. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — tell us where to collect you in Split or at the airport, where you are staying in Vienna, and where you would like to break the drive.
Pickup at your hotel, apartment or address in Split, or at Split Airport (SPU) near Kaštela. From the city the road climbs inland to Dugopolje and the A1 motorway north.
The Krka waterfalls lie off the A1 in the first part of the drive. The detour adds roughly half an hour of driving to the park area; add the time you want for a walk by the falls.
After Karlovac and the Zagreb bypass, the A2 climbs through Zagorje to the Slovenian border. The crossing is Schengen-internal; police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so keep a passport or national ID card at hand.
Past Ptuj the Slovenian A4 joins the A1 beside Maribor — a convenient break in Slovenia, with the coast well behind you.
The Slovenian A1 meets the Austrian A9 at a second Schengen-internal crossing. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur here too; allow some flexibility in journey time.
The capital of Styria, where the A9 meets the A2. A stop in the centre puts the last break on the Austrian side, before the A2 Süd towards Vienna.
The A2 Süd via Hartberg and Wiener Neustadt brings you into Vienna from the south: drop-off at your hotel or address, or at Vienna Airport (VIE) if you fly on.
Per vehicle, not per person. Every quote includes tolls, fuel, the cross-border route, assistance with loading and unloading luggage, and child seats available on request.

If you land at Split Airport (SPU) and want to go straight on, we collect you at the terminal: the airport lies west of Split near Kaštela, about 730 km and roughly 8 hours of driving from Vienna, so there is no need to go into the city first. Mention the airport pickup and your flight number in your request. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting.
Heading south to the coast? Vienna to Split drives the same motorways down to Dalmatia.
Vienna → Split →By road, Split to Vienna is about 760 km, almost all of it on motorway. From Split the road climbs to Dugopolje and joins the A1, which runs north past the Šibenik and Benkovac sections, through the Sveti Rok tunnel and the highlands of Lika by Gospić and on to Karlovac. The route skirts Zagreb on the bypass and follows the A2 through Zagorje to the Slovenian border at Macelj/Gruškovje; the Slovenian A4 and A1 pass Ptuj and Maribor to Šentilj/Spielfeld, and in Austria the A9 and the A2 Süd lead past Graz, Hartberg and Wiener Neustadt into Vienna. Allow about 8h 15m of driving without breaks, and more for any stops you add.
There is no year-round direct train between Split and Vienna. Long-distance coach journeys operate on the route; check the current timetable before travelling. A private transfer does the trip in a single day, from your door in Split or the airport to your address in Vienna, with your luggage in the car and breaks where you choose them.
Croatia, Slovenia and Austria are all in the Schengen area, so both crossings — Croatia to Slovenia at Macelj/Gruškovje and Slovenia to Austria at Šentilj/Spielfeld — are internal. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur at either. Every passenger should carry a valid passport or national ID card, and it is wise to allow some flexibility in journey time.
We collect you from hotels, apartments and addresses in Split, or from Split Airport (SPU). Address pickups include 15 minutes of free waiting. In Vienna we drop off at your hotel or address anywhere in the city, or at Vienna Airport (VIE), about 769 km from Split and roughly 8h 20m of driving, if you have a flight to catch — give us the flight time so we can plan the departure from Split around it.

Yes. Maribor adds about 15 minutes of driving and central Graz about 22 minutes, plus the time you spend there. Mention the stop in your request.
Krka National Park adds about 30 minutes of driving to the park area, before visit time. Plitvice Lakes is off the motorway route and adds more than an hour of driving, so it only works as a deliberately planned long day. Ask for either in your request and we plan the day around it.
This route is priced on request. We quote per vehicle, not per passenger, for your date, group and any stops, and you receive the quote in writing before anything is confirmed.
