Bucharest Airport to Brasov

The arrivals car park P2 is closed for works until 28 February 2027. Your carrier confirms the meeting point in the arrivals hall, and where the car waits, in the booking chat. Minibuses and vehicles with more than 7 seats may only park in P5. Give your carrier the flight number so it can track the landing.

Your carrier tracks the flight, so a late landing moves the pickup rather than losing it. By rail, a late arrival still means the airport train to București Nord, a change there, and about 3 to 4 hours in all.

In Romania winter tires are compulsory whenever the road is covered with snow, ice or black ice, on all wheels and marked M+S. There is no toll plaza on this drive; the national road vignette belongs to the vehicle, and the carrier's car carries it.

Since 23 April 2026 ride-share cars collect from the Departures level, not Arrivals. A pre-booked transfer meets you inside the arrivals hall.

Declare ski bags, board bags and boot bags when you book. The car is chosen for the bags as much as for the seats, so a family with skis may need a station wagon or a minivan rather than a sedan.

Child and booster seats are available on request. Put the ages in the booking notes, not just the number of children, because the ages decide the seat type.

About 2 hours 40 minutes in free-flowing traffic, for about 155 km on the DN1: north past Ploiești, up the Prahova Valley through Sinaia and Bușteni, and over the Predeal Pass. Sunday afternoons and school-holiday changeovers are slower, because the police report queues in the valley towns then.

On TransferBnB a private transfer starts from around €190 per vehicle for a sedan, €270 for a minivan and €365 for a minibus, one way. The price is per vehicle, not per person, so three people in a sedan pay about €63 each. Verified carriers send quotes for your date.

No. The airport train runs to București Nord (Gara de Nord) every 40 minutes in about 20 minutes, and you change there for Brașov. The whole trip takes about 3 to 4 hours with the change, up to 4h 40min on some departures. A private transfer takes about 2h 40min with no change and no luggage across a platform.

Not over the mountains. The A3 is open from Bucharest to Ploiești, and its Ploiești to Brașov section has no money in the 2026 budget. From Bucharest Airport the drive uses the DN1 the whole way, through the Prahova Valley and over the Predeal Pass.

There is no toll plaza on the drive; the national road vignette belongs to the vehicle, and on a private transfer the carrier's car carries it. Romanian law makes winter tires compulsory whenever the road is covered with snow, ice or black ice, which matters on the Predeal Pass at 1,033 m.

Yes. Brașov-Ghimbav (GHV) is about 9.5 km from the old town, with a short list of international routes. If your flight lands at Bucharest Henri Coandă, the transfer to Brașov is about 155 km and 2h 40min.

Yes. Peleș stands above Sinaia, about 111 km from the airport on the DN1, so it is on the way. Ask for the stop when you book, because it adds the visit to the drive. Peleș is closed from 2 November to 1 December 2026, and entry is first come, first served within the time slot on your ticket.

On Sunday afternoons, when the Prahova Valley empties toward Bucharest, and on school-holiday changeovers: the Romanian winter holiday runs from 23 December 2026 to 10 January 2027, and county ski weeks fall between 15 February and 7 March 2027. The police name the valley towns of Sinaia, Bușteni and Predeal as the stretches that queue; Comarnic has had a bypass since 1 October 2026.
