Question 1

What is the "Fake Taxi Companies" scam in Sofia?

Accepted Answer

Unlicensed taxis mimic reputable companies (OK Supertrans, Yellow Taxi) with slightly altered logos and phone numbers. Fares can be 3–5x the correct rate. Book via the Bolt or Uber app, or call OK Supertrans directly. Check the license plate matches what the app shows.

Question 2

What is the "Overpriced Airport Transfers" scam in Sofia?

Accepted Answer

Unmarked cars at Sofia Airport offer "cheap" transfers but charge $50–$100 for a ride that should cost $10–$15 via Bolt. Pre-book a taxi from your hotel or use the Bolt app. Walk past the people calling out to you inside arrivals.
