Walk to the signed taxi rank outside arrivals. Official taxis show a company name and a roof sign. Ask for the meter with Molim, taxi metar before you get in. The ride to the centre is usually 15 to 20 minutes and costs about 11 to 13 EUR. Most drivers prefer cash in BAM. Many accept EUR for short rides. Cards are not guaranteed so ask first.

Late arrivals and delays
If you land after midnight the taxi rank can be quiet. Pre booked shared shuttles and private transfers wait for delayed flights. If there are no taxis present, ask airport information to call a licensed company.
