How to get a taxi in Cluj

Though you might not find a black cab in Cluj, white cabs are easy to find. These four-seater taxis are available to hail on the street, or you can find them at designated taxi stands. However, it’s important to be cautious as unlicenced drivers are common. 

Alternatively, you can hire a Cluj private transfer or call one of the following Cluj taxi numbers:
Napoca Taxi: +004 (026) 4953

Taxi apps also exist. Bolt taxi in Cluj may save you a little money but comes with its own drawbacks. Firstly, Bolt drivers aren’t professionally trained, which leads to inconsistent service. During busy periods, you may be waiting a while for an available taxi and may be victim to surge charging. If you do manage to book a Bolt taxi, you’ll be charged for every minute the taxi waits.
