Giurgiu Port to Bucharest Private Transfer: Hotel Pickup Included

Skip the taxi queue and arrive at your cruise port on time

A private transfer connects your Bucharest hotel to Giurgiu Port or Portul Oltenița in about 1.5 hours, with hotel pickup included and an English or French-speaking driver. The sedan or van is air-conditioned and carries your luggage. Bottled water is provided. Book ahead to confirm your hotel location and preferred departure time, and arrange any special needs like a baby car seat at checkout.

The experience

Giurgiu Port and Portul Oltenița are the main cruise embarkation points for Danube sailings, and getting there from central Bucharest means either renting a car or relying on taxis that may not show up on time. This transfer solves that: a private driver picks you up at your hotel (or at a central meeting point like Unirii Square or University Square if your accommodation is outside the center) and takes you straight to whichever port your cruise departs from. The route takes about 1.5 hours, and the driver knows the fastest way there.

The vehicle is an air-conditioned sedan or van with an experienced driver who speaks English or French. Fuel surcharges and road taxes are included in the price, so there are no surprise fees at the end. Bottled water is provided during the ride. If you're traveling with a baby, a car seat is available free of charge. Let the operator know when you book. The service runs every day except major holidays, and you can arrange it the other way around too, from the port back to your hotel after your cruise ends.

To book, you'll need to provide your hotel details and the time you want to be at the port. The operator will set your pickup time from there. If you have large suitcases, mention that when you reserve so the driver can confirm the van has enough space. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available, and the service suits all fitness levels.
