Why come from Otopeni if Craiova has an airport?

For the flights Craiova does not have. The airport at Pielești serves around eighteen European cities, among them London, Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Brussels and Athens, and if you land there the transfer into town is 11 kilometres. For anything long-haul, or a destination outside that list, the drive from Otopeni stays the simplest option.

Do you serve the rest of Oltenia, not just Craiova?

Yes. Slatina, Râmnicu Vâlcea, Târgu Jiu and Drobeta-Turnu Severin are booked the same way, and the price is calculated on the real route to the address you give, not to Craiova and onward.

Private transfer

Aeroport Otopeni (OTP) - Craiova

Transfer from Otopeni Airport to Craiova: 243 km on the A1 and DN65, a fixed price settled before you travel, for the flights Craiova does not have.

Craiova has its own airport, 11 kilometres from the centre, with direct flights to around eighteen European cities. What it does not have is long-haul, or anywhere outside that list, so for many journeys the road still starts at Otopeni: 243 kilometres, around two and three quarter hours. The first stretch, as far as Pitești, is motorway and passes quickly; the rest, on the DN65 through Slatina, carries everyday traffic and lorries, and that is where the time is won or lost. The price depends on none of it: it is set when you book and stays there.

Questions about this route

The A1 as far as Pitești, then the DN65 through Slatina. The motorway covers roughly the first hundred kilometres; the rest is national road, with towns and heavy traffic. That is why the time varies more than on a run that is motorway throughout.
