In short: Licensed OK Supertrans taxi: €8–13 metered, 20–30 minutes. The ONLY licensed company at Sofia Airport. Use their desk inside arrivals — never accept approaches from drivers in the terminal. No Uber in Bulgaria. Metro is €0.82 and faster in traffic.
OK Supertrans: Sofia Airport’s exclusive licensed taxi operator. Book at yellow desk inside arrivals. Fare: €8–13 depending on destination and traffic. Night surcharge after 22:00. A ~€0.15 call charge applies on top of the fare. Bulgaria uses euros since January 2026 — fares now in euros.
The scam context: Sofia Airport has a known history of unlicensed drivers approaching arrivals passengers and quoting inflated rates. The official desk eliminates this risk. Never follow drivers who approach you in the terminal.
Cheaper options: Metro M4: €0.82, 18 minutes to Serdika. Buses 84/184: €0.82, 40 minutes. Metro is 10–15x cheaper than the taxi and faster in peak traffic. Use the taxi for late nights (after midnight when metro stops), heavy luggage, or accommodation far from the metro route.
