I have booked taxi from Sofia Airport to Serres in Greece. I am 100% satisfied with the service provided in such difficult situation due to covid restrictions. Communication was excellent, the taxi driver was there waiting us and we found him in 5 minutes. Excellent service, very easy booking giving the option to pay in cash and the driver was very polite and professional. Thank you very much for the service provided guys!all the best! Antigoni Dimitratou
Amazing service and super professional driver. We loved every minute of the way. And the car was very comfortable, spacious, and clean. Would definitely recommend and use it again. MARIIA KHONDOGA
Our driver was exactly what we hoped and a little more: punctual, responsible trough out the entire duration of our trip, understanding and efficient, overall very proficient. Also, thanks to the support team who was very efficient with helping us locate our driver at the arrival ( it was our first time in Bulgaria and we were a little lost in translation). Thank you! Madalina Dimache
The driver met in time. He was very friendly. The trip was exelent, the driver proposed 15 min rest in the middle (we rode for more tham 3 hours). No complains, will definitly use this servoce ahain if needed. Boris Grinblat
Very relaxed trip, despite the long distance (I was traveling with two kids). The driver was nice and we had a great conversation. Mikhail
The trip went great, the driver was early and very professional, he helped us load the bags in and out of the car. I would recomend kiwitaxi to anyone. 10/10 great service. William
All went well! Good communication on whatapp and on a phone with confirm. Friendly driver, good clean car, and on-time. Also safe driving, would book my transfer here again Recommend! Marina
I was pleasantly surprised that my return ride was GREAT. I had some problems with my first ride from the Istanbul Airport into town and had planned to also handle the return trip with Kiwitaxi. This drive and this trip was very good. The vehicle was clean, the driver arrived 10 minutes early, was very helpful in getting our bags into the vehicle, was polite, spoke Turkish, Arabic, and English. He was a safe driver, did NOT use his phone during the trip, was friendly but also was appropriately quiet. It was a good last impression that was left. VanettaA

Sofia Airport: Transfers and Taxi

Transfers from Sofia Airport

Transfers from Sofia Airport (SOF) are the quickest and most comfortable way to reach popular tourist destinations in Bulgaria: Bansko, Borovets, Burgas, Golden Sands, Nessebar, Pamporovo, Sunny Beach, Sveti Vlas, Varna, etc.


This travel option allows you to:


  1. Reach your hotel faster. You don’t have to search for a bus/metro stop or wait for a taxi to arrive: the driver meets you in the designated place strictly at the specified time.

  2. Avoid exchanging currency. You don’t have to exchange your money into Bulgarian leva to pay for a trip with Kiwitaxi: you can choose a prepayment online and select the currency that suits you best.

  3. Forget about the language barrier. There’s no need for you to explain anything to the driver, as he receives all the necessary information in advance.


This transport option is the best choice if you travel with small children or elderly. 


There is 10 km between the air hub and city center. The private transfer will take you there in 20 minutes. The journey cost is 22.

Taxi from Sofia Airport

Please avoid private drivers in front of the terminals and use the official service only — it’s called ‘OK Supertrans AD’, and its offices can be found in the Arrivals of both terminals. Besides offices, you can book a cab on the official website or by phone. Metered bright yellow cars are waiting close to the exits of both terminals.


The average price for a taxi to the downtown is 15 BGN or around 8.


At nights, tariffs increase. Also, you’ll have to pay for your call and waiting in a traffic jam. If you’re a big group, it may be difficult for you to find a large cab. In this case, it’s better to choose the Kiwitaxi service — our minibuses can accommodate up to 19 passengers.
