What the price covers Short hop; metered estimate. Ilidza is the closest district to the airport.

What you should actually pay

Most drivers in Bosnia are honest and prices are cheap and regulated. The thing to watch is a specific situation - a car waiting at the arrivals stand with the meter off, or a late-night flat quote - not drivers in general.

A fair metered ride here is about 12–20 KM (≈ 6–10 €)

If someone quotes a flat 40+ KM with no meter, it's fine to politely decline and call a dispatch company instead.

Three things you control

Insist on the meter before you set off - especially from the airport.
Know the fair range (above) so an inflated flat price is obvious.
Pay in BAM cash. Many cars take no card; if a driver accepts euros, confirm the rate first.

Booking by the Moj Taxi app gives you the driver name, plate and the regulated meter - but the apps often fail for foreigners (foreign cards rejected, “no taxi available”), so always keep a dispatch number as backup.

How to book & pay

Call a local taxi company, use the Moj Taxi app, or pre-book a private transfer (best for airports and long trips). Agree the price before you leave. For inter-city trips the meter is often not used. Bring cash in BAM; card is not guaranteed.
