Bratislava Airport to City Centre: Transfers and Taxi

Transfers from Bratislava Airport to City Centre

The capital of Slovakia, Bratislava is a small but very cosy and charming city. Large numbers of travelers from all around the globe come to it to enjoy its incredibly beautiful old buildings such as churches, cathedrals, palaces, castles, and towers. The medieval charm of its Old Town can really take you a few centuries back in time!

The most convenient and hassle-free way to reach Bratislava city centre from the air hub is by using a private transfer. The main advantages of this option include:

• No waiting. You won’t have to spend your time at the bus stop or wait until your car arrives. When you land at the air hub, the transfer driver will already be there (within the terminal) waiting for you. 
• No language barrier. Your destination address, the number of your baggage units, and other important trip details will be sent to the driver in advance, so you won’t have to provide any information on the spot. Besides, we have an English-speaking customer support, which you can contact at any time.
• A wide range of car classes. Don’t worry if you’re a big group — we have a few minibuses for you. The largest one can accommodate up to 19 passengers.

Also, transfers will be the most stress-free option if you travel with children or elderly people. Remember to reserve a child car seat in case you’re planning a trip with a child.

The cost of the Kiwitaxi transfer from the air hub to the downtown starts from 23 euros. The travel time is 20 minutes. 

Taxi from Bratislava Airport to City Centre

Official cabs at the airport are presented by a few airport’s partner taxi companies. Such vehicles have a company logo on their doors. Prices are shown on the info panels at the taxi ranks in front of the terminal. Besides taking a cab at the stand, you can also reserve one via phone — in this case, the fare may be even a little lower. 

The average price for an Economy-class taxi from Bratislava Airport to the city centre is 20 euros. Payments can be made both in cash and with a credit card.

Beware of private taxi drivers, as they often severely overcharge tourists. If you’re not familiar with the city area and the local cab prices, the taxi cost from Bratislava Airport to the city centre can become a lot higher for you than the one mentioned above. Another problem with air hub taxis is that they sometimes accept foreign currency (US dollars), but their currency exchange rate is not good for their passengers. If you book a private transfer, you can prepay for it in your desired currency and get a better service at a fair price.
