1. The Chisinau Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Chisinau taxi rate was officially set on January 1, 2024. In the Republic of Moldova (Moldova), cab fares are set by the individual cab companies and are not subject to state regulation. There are no fixed fares, so prices can vary depending on the company. The Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure of the Republic of Moldova is responsible for supervising cab traffic.

How the fare is made up under the Chisinau taxi rate:

The Chisinau taxi tariff sets out how the cost of a taxi ride is calculated for passengers in Chisinau. When you start a ride, you pay a base fare of 35.00 MDL. This charge is applied as soon as you enter the taxi and start your journey.

For the distance you travel, the cost is 4.50 MDL for each kilometre. This means that each additional kilometre covered during your journey is added to the total fare according to this rate. The distance is usually measured using the taxi’s meter.

If you need the taxi to wait, there is a waiting time fee. The waiting time is charged at a rate of 90.00 MDL per hour. This applies when the vehicle is stopped or moving very slowly, for example, during heavy traffic or if you ask the driver to wait.

To calculate the fare under the Chisinau taxi tariff, add together the base fare, the total for the distance travelled, and any waiting time charges that may apply. The final price you pay is the sum of these amounts. Passengers are encouraged to check that the taxi meter is used for transparency and accuracy.
