Key logistics areas in Bucharest
Useful information
Greece–Romania freight: the route
The Athens–Bucharest corridor (≈1,050 km) typically runs via the E75/E85 through Thessaloniki, the Greek-Bulgarian border at Promachonas/Kulata, and onwards via Sofia. Both Greece and Romania are EU members, so no customs clearance is needed — only a CMR.
Transit times from Greece to Romania
FTL: typically 2 days. LTL: 3–5 days depending on consolidation schedule. For time-critical freight, Haulx can connect you with express carriers that offer 48h door-to-door service.
How freight pricing works in Bucharest
Price depends mainly on volume/weight, floor access (elevator/stairs), loading constraints, date (month-end or weekend), and add-ons such as packing, tailgate lift, and assembly.
What to include for an accurate quote
Provide: pickup and delivery addresses, floor + elevator info, item list or cubic metres, any special handling needs (fragile, oversized), and your preferred date/window. The more detail you give, the fewer surprises on delivery day.
