How the transfer works
Transfers are booked ahead, with the date and flight number.
-
Book
Send the request with the flight number, the arrival date and the town you are going to, with the address.
-
Confirmation
Calls you back with the car and the approximate fare; for a family with a lot of luggage they suggest the minivan.
-
Meeting at arrivals
The driver waits at the airport; once you are out with your luggage, you call them and they tell you where the car is.
-
Straight there
You go straight to the address in the other town, with a stop if you need one: a pharmacy, a coffee or a currency exchange.
Transfer fares
All faresTransfers are counted by the road distance, at the outside-city rate. Three common routes, Bălți, Tiraspol and Bender, have a price for the whole ride.

The final fare is what the meter shows: the start fee, the kilometres and the waiting. Intercity rides are counted by the road distance. Fares valid from November 2026.
With luggage, with the family and through the checkpoints
After a long flight with cases and children, a direct transfer is simpler than the bus: you do not go into the centre to the bus station or wait for the next departure. For a family or a group ask for the 7-seat minivan, and for the north of the country see the Chișinău - Bălți ride.
On the way to Bender and Tiraspol the car passes checkpoints, so keep your passport or ID card at hand. The details are on the Chișinău - Tiraspol and Bender page. On the roads to Comrat, Cahul, Ungheni or Orhei there are no checkpoints. We also go to towns without a page of their own: Strășeni, Criuleni, Căușeni, Ceadîr-Lunga or Ocnița.
Questions
What happens if my flight is late?
From the flight number the dispatcher sees when you land and sends the car for the new time. If the driver has to wait longer, waiting is paid by the hour. If the flight is cancelled or moved to the next day, tell the dispatcher and the transfer moves to the new time.
Can you take me from the airport to Tiraspol?
Yes. At the checkpoints on the way you show your documents, and the driver takes you to the address in town. Foreigners fill in a migration card on entry, so keep your passport handy after landing.
Can I book a transfer to the airport too?
Yes, from any town in Moldova. Give the flight time, and the dispatcher tells you when the car leaves so you arrive in time. For a morning flight from Bălți or Cahul the car leaves during the night, so book a day ahead.
