Taxis & Rideshare in Brasov (2026) - Grab, Uber & More
Find convenient and reliable taxi and rideshare options in Brasov to explore hotels, restaurants, and top attractions with ease.
Safety Tips
Look for the yellow roof light and the company name plus license number printed on both front doors, unlicensed cars rarely display both.
All licensed Brasov taxis must use the meter. If the driver claims it's broken, simply exit and take the next cab, this is common near Piata Sfatului.
Locals rely on Bolt and Uber. Both work reliably across the city and show the car's plate and driver photo before pickup.
For late-night rides from the Old Town, book through the app and wait inside a lit venue until the car arrives, solo travelers often do this near Strada Republicii.
Common Scams to Avoid
Drivers at the main train station (Gara Brașov) sometimes insist the meter is "broken" and quote inflated flat fares for trips to the old town or Poiana Brașov. Insist on using the meter or walk 50 m to the official taxi rank where drivers follow the rules.
Taxis waiting outside popular tourist sites like Piața Sfatului may switch to a higher night or holiday tariff during daytime. Check the displayed tariff sheet on the window (it should read 1.99, 2.49 lei/km for standard daytime rates) and ask the driver to reset the meter before you start.
Some airport-transfer taxis that tout inside Henri Coandă arrivals will claim the ride to Brașov is a fixed-price "special route" at several times the normal cost. Ignore the hawkers, exit to the official curb-side taxi queue, or pre-book a reputable company online.
