Taxis in Bulgaria are all painted bright yellow and are usually branded to a particular company. They charge by the kilometre, with an initial fee of anywhere up to 1 lev. A cap on the price per kilometre has recently been imposed and will be around 60-70 stotinki daytime and slightly higher at night. 

Despite this, taxis are well known for ripping off tourists, either by improperly displayed prices which then turn out to be ten or twenty times higher or by claiming their meter is not working and then demanding an outrageous fee at the end of the journey.
