Chișinău International Airport is about 13 km from central Chișinău. Travel time depends on traffic, arrival time and your destination. The practical choices are public transport, app-based taxi or a rental car collected at a confirmed meeting point.
Public transport
This is usually the lowest-cost option when you travel light and stay near a convenient route. Check the current timetable after landing, especially at night or on public holidays.
Taxi
An app-based or officially dispatched taxi is convenient for a direct journey. Confirm the destination and displayed fare before departure.
Rental car
A rental car is useful when your itinerary includes several places in Chișinău or trips elsewhere in Moldova. OptimalRent can coordinate confirmed airport handover 24/7. The exact vehicle, meeting time, price, deposit and insurance terms are agreed before collection.
Choose by itinerary
For a short central stay, public transport or taxi may be enough. For luggage, late arrival or travel outside the capital, a rental car can reduce transfers. See airport rental details or check the fleet.
