Taxis in Bulgaria

Taxis wait at taxi ranks in front of hotels and can be hailed on the street. You can also order them by phone.
On the street, tourists should stick to the yellow taxis that indicate the journey’s cost on their meters.

Charges are ranging from 0.50Lv – 0.60Lv per km during the daytime to 0.55Lv – 0.70Lv per km at night. There is no additional charge for luggage in yellow taxis. A supplement is charged at night. It is customary to round up the amount owed as the tip. Charges are supposed to be metered, but some drivers demand an inflated fare from foreigners. A tip of 10-20% is common practice.

We advice you to use the taxi companies recommended below in order to avoid overcharging.
