Orhei → Chișinău Airport Transfer: Complete Guide

Chișinău International Airport (IATA code: KIV) is about 50 km from Orhei, in the south-eastern part of the capital. The ride normally takes 45 to 60 minutes, but the real time depends heavily on Chișinău traffic, especially at the city entrance and on the ring road.

Because the airport is located beyond the city center, part of the route runs through the capital’s urban traffic. So for an airport transfer, never rely on the minimum time — always plan a safety margin.

The basic rule: be at the airport at least 2 hours before a flight, and 3 hours before a flight in peak season or at busy times. Adding the ~60 minutes of driving and a margin for traffic means that for a morning flight, departure from Orhei often falls in the middle of the night.

Taxi Select works non-stop precisely for these early departures. Our drivers check the estimated flight time when you book and agree with you on a departure time from Orhei that leaves room for check-in and security, with no last-minute rush.

The fare for the Orhei — Chișinău Airport transfer starts from 500 MDL, a guideline amount stated clearly when you book. The price includes pickup from your address in Orhei and direct transport to the departures terminal, with plenty of room for luggage.

We charge no hidden costs for night hours or reasonable waiting times. Payment is in cash, directly to the driver. We also offer a return transfer, from the airport to Orhei — useful when you land and want a car waiting, without looking for a taxi on arrival.

When you call to book a transfer, have three details ready: the flight time, the number of passengers and the exact pickup address in Orhei. If you have bulky luggage or travel with many passengers, mention it so we send a suitable vehicle.

We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance for airport transfers, especially in the holiday season. For the return transfer, give the flight number on landing so the driver waits for you even if the plane is delayed.
