Taxi, Bolt or Uber?

At Iasi Airport, official taxis are available 24/7, as are the Uber and Bolt apps, which operate reliably here.

With regular taxis, it’s often not possible to pay by card, and their fare, as shown on the meter, tends to be higher, typically around 40 ron.

I recommend always comparing prices using the Bolt and Uber apps, which usually range from 28 ron to 35 ron, and waiting times are rarely longer than 10 minutes.

Car hire

There are several car hire companies operating in the Iasi airport terminal, which are probably the best option for exploring the Romanian countryside and natural landscapes.

Prices are very low, starting from as little as 10 eur per day.
