Avoid Bucharest Taxi Scams

TripAvip Romania Provides Safe, Fixed-Rate Airport Transfers from OTP and BBU


June 2026


Bucharest, Romania — International visitors arriving at Bucharest's airports continue to report incidents of overcharging by unlicensed or non-metered taxi drivers — a well-documented problem that travel advisory forums, including those on TripAdvisor, consistently flag as a primary concern for first-time arrivals to the Romanian capital.


TripAvip Romania (tripavip.ro) provides the safe, pre-booked alternative. Founded in 2006 and operating for over 19 years, TripAvip Romania offers airport transfers at guaranteed fixed rates with no hidden charges, no credit card surcharges, and one free hour of waiting time included as standard for all flight arrivals — allowing for delays, customs, and baggage collection without penalty.


Travellers arriving at Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) or Băneasa Private International Airport (BBU) receive an instant confirmation voucher at the time of booking. On arrival, they present this voucher to their waiting, named TripAvip chauffeur and are transferred directly to their destination in a clean, luxury Mercedes vehicle with a professional, English-speaking driver.


The process eliminates the need to queue at taxi ranks, negotiate fares, or assess the legitimacy of unregistered operators — a meaningful safeguard for solo travellers, families, and business visitors unfamiliar with Bucharest.

For onward travel, TripAvip also provides inter-city transfers — including Bucharest to Brașov, Sinaia, or Transylvania — at agreed fixed prices, confirmed before departure.
