How to Get from Novi Sad to Belgrade Airport — Bus, Train, Taxi or Transfer Compared

Overview

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) is located about 80 km from central Novi Sad. Depending on your transport choice, the journey takes between 50 minutes and 2 hours. Here's a breakdown of every option.

Want to skip the comparison? Our private Novi Sad → Belgrade Airport transfer is a fixed €59, door to door, 24/7 — the fastest, most reliable option below.

1. Private airport transfer (recommended)

A private transfer is the most comfortable way to reach the airport. Your driver picks you up at your address and takes you directly to the terminal — no stops, no waiting.

• Price: from €59 (fixed, no hidden fees)
• Travel time: ~60 minutes
• Advantages: door-to-door, flight tracking, known price upfront
• Best for: families, business travelers, early/late flights

2. Taxi from Novi Sad

Local taxis can take you to the airport, but prices vary significantly and are typically much higher than a pre-booked transfer.

• Price: from €80 and up (metered, variable)
• Travel time: 60–75 minutes
• Drawback: unpredictable pricing, airport surcharges, and you cannot choose the car or the vehicle class in advance — you find out what is collecting you when it arrives

3. Bus

There is no direct bus from Novi Sad to Belgrade Airport. You need to take a bus to Belgrade, then transfer to bus 600 (which is now free — Belgrade public transport became free in 2025).

• Price: ~€7.50 (880 RSD bus NS-BG + free bus 600)
• Travel time: 2–2.5 hours (with transfers)
• Drawback: multiple transfers, luggage hassle, not viable for early flights

4. Train + free bus 600

The high-speed Soko train from Novi Sad to Belgrade takes about 35 minutes. From Belgrade Centar station, the free bus 600 takes you directly to the airport from the same station.

• Price: ~€5.65 (661 RSD Soko train online + free bus 600)
• Travel time: 1.5–2 hours
• Drawback: transfers, limited departures, carrying luggage

Why the quotes run from about €6 to over €100

Search this route and you will be handed numbers that look irreconcilable. They are not — four different products share one road, and almost nobody publishing a price says which one they are selling.

• Public transport sells a seat: the Soko train to Beograd Centar plus the free bus 600, around €6 all in, with a change at Prokop and no service at 3 a.m.
• Shared minibuses also sell a seat, pooled with other passengers, and usually want a day or more of notice.
• Private transfers sell the whole vehicle at a fixed price. Four passengers split one fare, so the per-person figure falls as the group grows.
• An intercity taxi sells a negotiation. There is no officially set fare to Novi Sad — the airport's fixed-price voucher scheme covers zones inside the City of Belgrade, and Novi Sad is not among them.

So a €6 figure and a €100 figure can both be honest and still not be comparable. Before you book anything, the question worth asking is not "how much" but "how much, for the whole car or per person, and is that the total" — and check whether a night rate applies, because some operators add one and some, including us, do not.
