Yes — both Uber and Bolt are available at Vienna International Airport (VIE), and here’s how to use them:
Bolt at Vienna Airport #
-
Bolt is fully operational at VIE: just open the app, specify your destination, and follow the app’s instructions for picking up your driver at the designated airport zone.
-
The app provides upfront pricing and multiple ride options—from economy and standard to XL and eco-friendly vehicles.
-
Pickup points vary, so double-check the location in your app—you’ll be guided there. Make sure the vehicle and driver details match what’s shown in your app.
-
Bolt is generally seen as more reliable by locals, with shorter wait times and fewer cancellations than Uber.
Uber at Vienna Airport #
-
Uber also works at VIE, with 24/7 availability via the app. You choose your ride and follow app guidance to the pickup point near Terminal 3 (departures level), but watch for changes in the location.
-
Pricing is transparent via the app and comparable to taxis—expect around €30–€40 for a ride to the city center, depending on traffic and demand.
-
Some travelers have shared mixed experiences: occasionally drivers cancel or wait times stretch, especially at odd hours.
