Frequently Asked Questions
Is alcohol allowed in the vehicle?
No. Consumption of alcohol and smoking is strictly prohibited inside the vehicle to ensure safety and cleanliness for all passengers.
Can we play our own music?
Yes! All vehicles are equipped with Bluetooth and AUX connectivity. Start the festival early - play your own playlist from the moment you get in.
Why use the Pag Bridge instead of the ferry?
The Pag Bridge route via A1 Highway is faster and fully predictable. The Prizna-Žigljen ferry can have significant queues during festival periods - waits of 1-2 hours are common. Our bridge route guarantees arrival time regardless of ferry schedules.
Can you drop off directly at glamping resorts?
Yes! We drive directly to reception at Noa Glamping Resort, Rocks Beach Houses, Papaya Village, and any other glamping site on the island. Provide the resort name when booking.
Can we stop at a supermarket before check-in?
Yes! We stop at Lidl, Plodine, or Hiper Novalis at the Novalja entrance - 15-20 minutes for supplies. No extra charge. Strongly recommended - buy heavy items (water, drinks, food) here at mainland prices before reaching the beach zone.
Do you offer return transfers after Sonus?
Yes! Return transfers (Novalja/Zrće to Zadar Airport) are available. Booking strongly recommended for Monday/Tuesday after the festival - high demand, vehicles fill up fast.
What's the payment method?
Payment in cash (EUR) directly to the driver at the end of the transfer.
