Licensed taxis in Sofia are usually yellow and display the company name and tariff information on a side window.
Read the tariff carefully before entering. Some vehicles use confusing decimal formatting or place the price sticker where it is difficult to see.
Use a licensed operator's official phone number, website or app rather than accepting an unsolicited ride. OK Supertrans is one established Sofia operator, but check current reviews and tariffs.
The number shown in the original article was 02 973 21 21. Confirm the current number on the operator's official website before calling.
FARES: CHECK CURRENT PRICES
- Day tariff: check the current price on the vehicle sticker or booking app;
- Night tariff: check the current price and applicable hours;
- Waiting charge: confirm before the journey;
- Booking fee: confirm with the operator.

Five Practical Taxi Safety Tips
At airports and stations, use an official taxi desk, rank or app. Make sure the meter is running. If the fare appears wrong, ask to stop in a safe public place and request a receipt.
Check the approximate route and journey time in advance. You can follow the trip on your phone without confronting the driver.
Read the displayed day and night rates and ask about booking, waiting and airport fees. Do not rely on historical per-kilometre prices.
Check that the meter starts correctly and that the applicable tariff matches the time of day. Keep the booking confirmation and request a receipt.
Prioritise your safety. Do not remain in the car to argue. Move to a safe public place, contact the operator, and call 112 if you feel threatened or unable to leave.
