1. The Bucharest Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Bucharest taxi rate was officially set on January 1, 2024. In Romania, cab fares are set by the local authorities of the respective cities and municipalities, which can lead to regional differences. The fares are usually made up of a basic fee and a price per kilometer. The local transport authorities are responsible for monitoring and complying with these tariffs. Official cabs are obliged to display their current fares visibly in the vehicle and to use the taximeter during the journey.

How the fare is made up under the Bucharest taxi rate:

The taxi tariff in Bukarest is straightforward. When you start a taxi journey, there is an initial base fare of 3.00 lei. This is a fixed fee that is added to every ride as soon as you enter the taxi.

After the base fare, the cost of the ride is calculated by the distance traveled. For every kilometer you travel, the fare increases by 3.00 lei. The total distance is measured using a meter inside the taxi, which ensures accuracy for both the passenger and the driver.

If you need the taxi to wait, for example when stopping at a store or during traffic delays, there is a waiting time charge. In Bukarest, the taxi tariff includes a waiting time fee of 30.00 lei per hour. This amount is added to your fare for the time the taxi is not moving or is moving very slowly.

At the end of your ride, the total fare will include the base fare, the distance traveled, and any waiting time. This clear and transparent structure helps passengers in Bukarest understand exactly how their taxi fare is calculated.
