Bucharest Airport Transfer (OTP)

Bucharest Airport Transfer (OTP)

Henri Coandă International Airport (IATA: OTP) is Romania's primary hub and Bucharest's main international gateway, handling over 14 million passengers annually. The airport is 16 kilometres north of central Bucharest. Unofficial taxi operators stand outside the arrivals exits and approach passengers with flat rates that are 3–5× the legitimate price — this is specifically cited in UK, French, and German government travel advisories. A LocalsRide driver is waiting for you; if your offer includes a name sign, you find them before you reach the exits.

Bucharest Old Town (Lipscani): 16 km, 25–45 min. Piața Victoriei: 15 km, 25–40 min. Floreasca (north, upscale): 12 km, 20–35 min. Pipera (business park, Greenfield): 8 km, 15–25 min. Brașov: 170 km, 2–2.5 hours. Sinaia: 130 km, 90–110 min.

Which taxi services are legitimate at Bucharest Airport?
Inside arrivals: the Fly Taxi counter (yellow, metered, approximately RON 1.79/km). Bolt and Uber from the app-based carpark — confirm registration before walking outside. Pre-booked LocalsRide: if you ask for a name sign, each offer shows whether the driver will meet you with one inside arrivals; if not, you agree a pick-up point with the driver.
