TikiIslandGirl Posted May 10 #1 Share Posted May 10 Hello, myself and my mother will be arriving at the Bucharest (OTP) airport at 5:50 pm. I'm looking for private transfer to our hotel that will meet us in baggage claim. Does anyone have recommendations for companies they have used? Not interested in public transportation. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RobInMN Posted May 10 #2 Share Posted May 10 Not sure if you consider Uber private or public, but from what I can tell, Uber does operate in Bucharest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I didn't think about that. I'll check. Also Rebel54 If I turn on my phone I will get charged $10 to get a uber. (att fee per 24 hours)-so would rather have a pre arranged transfer.

Also, turn off your data/roaming and go Wifi and maybe you can use local or airport Wifi to do some business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes- I turn off all data/roaming and limit myself to wifi. I only will use my cellular if I absolutely need it for gps/maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Claypool Posted May 11 #7 Share Posted May 11 We used Welcome Pickups in Greece for airport/city transfers and were very pleased with their service and support. I just checked their website and they also operate in Bucharest. https://www.welcomepickups.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netorders Posted May 11 #9 Share Posted May 11 (edited) We were a provided travel suggestions from our agent when we went to Budapest last year. He recommended for "private transfers" Romulus Travel. http://romulus-travel.com Bolt is the transportation/ride app that many use in Hungary We flew in @1:30am, taxis were still running to get us to the Marriott. Taxi booth check-in and then get in the cue. Used apple pay for fare. Piece of cake! Edited May 11 by netorders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been reading about the do not take a taxi because they will rip you off reviews/posts.. So you took a taxi from the airport and didn't have any issues??

netorders Posted May 11 #11 Share Posted May 11 That is correct. It is a set price at the cabbie booth. We tipped in dollars. In fact, we saw the cab driver the next day enjoying the Marriott breakfast buffet with other cabbies! regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare franski Posted May 13 #13 Share Posted May 13 We used Bucharest Airport Transfer the first time we went and were very pleased with the service. they charge/car - not per person. https://bucharestairporttransfer.com/ I just checked their business card (yes, I saved it!!) and when compared with the current prices on the website, it seems as if the prices have only risen 1 euro for an airport --> hotel transfer. The gentleman was waiting just outside the doors when we excited the baggage claim area. Quite seamless. Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
