Taxi Bratislava Airport

There are usually many taxis waiting at the airport, however, they charge much higher prices than a taxi ordered by phone. Therefore we recommend ordering a taxi in advance over the phone. There's e.g. Bratislava Airport Taxi, which operates not only in Bratislava, but also internationally in Vienna, Budapest or Prague and between these cities. For more information visit this website.

Another possibility of getting from the airport is to order a private transfer from the Bratislava airport directly to the hotel. This service is more expensive than a taxi ride ordered by phone, but it ensures that the driver is available immediately after your arrival, even if the plane is delayed. By choosing this service you get a safe, punctual and convenient transfer with a reliable company. Find more information here.
