One of the well-known American travel bloggers, Steven Jepson, shared his experience with TransferNovi on The Thorough Tripper website. While searching for the best way to travel from Kotor to Dubrovnik — after browsing Google and reading reviews — he decided to choose our service, especially highlighting the easy booking process and fast communication with the owner via WhatsApp.
Although he mostly used buses as his primary means of transportation during his trip, there were significant delays at the border at that time. Croatian authorities were thoroughly inspecting every bus, checking luggage and holding passengers, which further slowed down border crossings. Since they were traveling with a lot of luggage, the blogger decided to try a private transfer this time — a decision he describes as absolutely the right one.
Fast border crossing without delays.
The distance between Kotor and Dubrovnik is about 90 kilometers, and thanks to the TransferNovi driver, the blogger completed the journey in less than two and a half hours. This was made possible by using a smaller, secondary border crossing with almost no traffic — which he points out in his blog as a major advantage of private transfers. By comparison, his colleague’s journey took a full five hours.
Experienced driver with excellent English skills.
Steven writes that the driver arrived 15 minutes early at the agreed location, helped with luggage, and made the trip smooth and pleasant. He also mentions having an engaging conversation with the driver, whose fluent English made the entire journey even more enjoyable.
Excellent organization of the entire transfer.
Unlike the chaos at bus stations, receiving detailed information on the day of travel — including the driver’s name, vehicle type, and license plate number — made the experience completely stress-free and truly enjoyable.
Although Steven emphasizes that buses are certainly the cheapest option, he strongly recommends considering a private transfer for the Kotor–Dubrovnik route. When everything is taken into account — the time saved and the quality of service — investing in a private transfer is well worth it.
He sums it up with the following words:
“I definitely made the right decision by choosing a private transfer. And of course, we were extremely satisfied with TransferNovi’s service. Nikola told me that if you’re interested, you can contact him via WhatsApp at +38267245526 for current prices and bookings.”
