Bucharest Airport to Sibiu transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Bucharest Airport to Sibiu transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Bucharest Airport to Sibiu route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Sibiu is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Bucharest Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Bucharest Airport (OTP)
Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport (OTP), in Otopeni about 17 km north of the city centre, is Romania's main international airport, with roughly 16 km to Gara de Nord and 110 to 170 km to Sinaia, Brasov and Bran.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Bucharest Airport to Sibiu transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Bucharest Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "OTP to Sibiu" or "OTP airport transfer" land here for a reason: OTP is the airport code for Bucharest Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Sibiu.

Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day.

Taxi or private transfer from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu?
An airport taxi from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Sibiu involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Sibiu, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Bucharest Airport runs mainly into Bucharest itself: bus 783 and the airport rail link reach Gara de Nord for a small fare, and the metro serves the centre; a private car from the terminal is simpler with luggage, for the Old Town at night, and for Sinaia, Brasov or Bran, which have no direct public transport from the airport. Reaching Sibiu from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Sibiu once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Bucharest Airport to Sibiu transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Sibiu
Sibiu, in southern Transylvania, is about 300 km west-north-west of Bucharest Airport. Sibiu is a Transylvanian city of Saxon heritage, European Capital of Culture in 2007, with one of the best preserved medieval centres in Romania. The Upper Town is built around Piata Mare, the Large Square, and the smaller Piata Mica, linked by the Bridge of Lies. Brukenthal Museum, the Evangelical Cathedral and the tower on Council Square rise over houses with distinctive roof windows that look like watching eyes. The city is a starting point for the Transfagarasan road and the open-air Astra Museum, and a popular long private-car destination.
Things to do in Sibiu
What to see in Sibiu: Piata Mare and Piata Mica, Bridge of Lies, Brukenthal Museum, houses with eye-shaped roof windows and gateway to Transfagarasan. Ask the driver which to do first on the drive from Bucharest Airport - they know the area, and the desk arranges transport for any of them later in your stay.
Bucharest itself is within reach for a day: Bran Castle near Brasov, the Palace of Parliament and the Old Town and Stavropoleos Church - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Sibiu
Where you stay in Sibiu makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Sibiu Upper Town, Piata Mare, Lower Town and Cisnadie - and any other address is fine too.
The trip is long, so plan a coffee stop in the Olt Valley or at Cozia Monastery; the old town is pedestrian, so the driver will drop you at the nearest access street.
Meeting your driver at Bucharest Airport
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Bucharest Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. Flights are tracked, so a late landing simply moves the pickup; nobody leaves, and the price does not change.
Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Bucharest Airport.
Our vehicles for the Sibiu transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.
As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.
Who books the Sibiu transfer
Who uses a private transfer from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Sibiu and the ride back to Bucharest Airport are arranged in the same conversation.
How to book your Sibiu transfer
Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Sibiu. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation.

Good to know before you land at Bucharest Airport
Give your flight number and exact hotel address, remember the currency is the Romanian leu and not the euro, and allow extra time on the DN1 at rush hours; if your hotel is in the Old Town, expect a short walk from the nearest street open to traffic.
Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Bucharest Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.
Let us know the driver language you would prefer; it depends on the country, the city and the hour, so we cannot promise it, but we do our best to match it and the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.
Sibiu to Bucharest Airport: the return transfer
Heading back to Bucharest Airport at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Sibiu; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.
The Sibiu to Bucharest Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Bucharest Airport?
Your WhatsApp confirmation tells you. Airports differ - Bucharest Airport may use an indoor meeting point, a set exit or a name board just past customs - so rather than a general rule we send the exact spot for your flight, with the driver's name and number.

The trip is long, so plan a coffee stop in the Olt Valley or at Cozia Monastery; the old town is pedestrian, so the driver will drop you at the nearest access street.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.
What is the best way to get from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu?
With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Sibiu.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu?
Bus 783 and the airport rail link reach Gara de Nord for a small fare, and the metro serves the centre; a private car from the terminal is simpler with luggage, for the Old Town at night, and for Sinaia, Brasov or Bran, which have no direct public transport from the airport. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Bucharest Airport is delayed?
The driver waits. Your Bucharest Airport to Sibiu booking is tied to your flight number, and our desk watches the real landing time, so a late arrival simply moves the pickup. Normal waiting after landing is included in the fixed price.

Yes. The Bucharest Airport to Sibiu transfer runs around the clock, and our WhatsApp desk is answered day and night. Tell us the flight number and we plan the pickup for the real arrival time, whatever the hour.

You choose when you book: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers).

If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.
Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Always private. We do not run shared shuttles: the car or van from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu carries your party only, leaves when you are ready, and goes straight to your address.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
Yes. The fixed price for the Bucharest Airport to Sibiu transfer covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, road tolls, airport parking and the normal waiting time after your flight lands. There is nothing to pay the driver on the day unless you have added something to the booking.
Can we stop on the way from Bucharest Airport to Sibiu?
Usually, yes - a short stop for a shop, a sim card or a photo is no problem if you mention it when booking, and a longer stop or a sightseeing detour is quoted as part of the same transfer. Tell the desk what you have in mind and they confirm it in writing.
How far in advance should I book the Bucharest Airport to Sibiu transfer?
