A trip to Chisinau isn’t just the transfer — it’s food, hotels, and activities too. Seven real tips from NextAirBus regulars to cut costs without sacrificing comfort.
1. Travel as a group — split the price
Scheduled service — 50 € per seat. Minibus up to 8 seats — from 100 € per vehicle. Six people pay around €17 each on a private transfer.
2. Book 2–3 days ahead
Orders 48+ hours in advance let us plan better. We sometimes offer 5–10% off — especially in the off-season.
3. Book round trip together
Booking both directions at once gives 5% off the total. Route: 450 km, border at Porubne–Mamaliiga.
4. Exchange currency at Moldovan banks
ATM rates in Chisinau are 3–5% better than street exchangers. Withdraw lei from your card.
5. Eat where locals eat
Avoid tourist restaurants on Stefan cel Mare Boulevard. Courtyard cafés and markets serve great meals for €3–5.
6. Bring your own drinks
NextAirBus provides water, but coffee and snacks are on you. A thermos saves money over 6 hours on the road.
7. Avoid pre-holiday border queues
Before long weekends, queues at Porubne–Mamaliiga can reach 3–4 hours. Plan for Wednesday–Thursday or travel after holidays.
