The right form when you want to scale
Real scalability
With an SRL you can hire other drivers and manage a fleet — impossible as a PFA. Ideal if you plan to grow.
Limited liability
Personal assets are separate from company assets. Your liability is limited to the share capital of the SRL.
External manager possible
You don't need to personally hold the transport manager certificate. You can designate an authorized external manager through our service.
7 steps from zero to ARR-authorized SRL
Choose CAEN code 4933
Day 1Alternative transport activity (Uber, Bolt) is registered under CAEN code 4933 (Rev.3) — Passenger land transport with driver, on demand. Without this code you cannot obtain the ARR authorization.
Prepare the articles of association
Day 1–2The articles of association define the shareholders, administrator, business activity and share capital. The minimum share capital is 500 RON (Law 239/2025). If turnover exceeds 400,000 RON, the minimum increases to 5,000 RON.
Submit your file to ONRC
Day 2–3Online at portal.onrc.ro or in person. The file includes: application form, articles of association, proof of registered address, proof of share capital deposit and administrator's signature specimen.
Receive your CIF (tax ID)
Day 5–7Within 3–5 working days you receive the registration certificate with your company tax ID (CIF). Your SRL legally exists from this point and you can open a bank account.
Open a company bank account
Day 7A dedicated company bank account is mandatory for an SRL. You deposit the share capital and obtain the bank statement needed for the ONRC file.
Obtain the transport manager certificate
Day 8–15The SRL must have a transport manager holding a valid professional competency certificate (taxi/rental regime) issued by ARR. The manager can be a shareholder or an externally appointed person.
Obtain the ARR authorization
Day 15–20The final step: the complete alternative transport authorization file at ARR. ARR processes the file within a maximum of 15 working days. We prepare the entire file and all required Annexes.

SRL alternative transport questions answered
State ONRC fees for an SRL are roughly 150–200 RON (registration + publication in the Official Gazette), and less if you file online. Registration was free until 2026; from 2026 ONRC introduced fees. With full ONRC + ARR file guidance, everything is included in our SRL Ready package.
Under Law 239/2025, the minimum share capital for new SRLs is 500 RON (previously there was no minimum — you could set up with just a few RON), effective December 2025. If net turnover exceeds 400,000 RON, the minimum share capital increases to 5,000 RON.
A transport manager is a person holding a valid professional competency certificate issued by ARR for the taxi/rental regime. For SRLs, ARR requires a designated transport manager — unlike PFA where the driver handles the authorization directly. The manager can be one of the shareholders or an externally contracted person.
PFA is simpler and cheaper to run — no mandatory transport manager, no share capital, no mandatory external accounting. SRL becomes advantageous if you want to hire other drivers, manage a fleet, or if you don't hold the personal driver attestation. Note: the micro-enterprise SRL threshold drops from 250,000 EUR (2025) to 100,000 EUR from 2026. We help you choose correctly for your situation.
ONRC issues the registration certificate in 3–5 working days. The ARR file is processed within a maximum of 15 working days from complete submission. Total estimated time: 10–20 working days, depending on how quickly all documents are gathered (criminal records, medical clearance, transport manager certificate).
Yes, accounting is mandatory for an SRL — unlike a PFA. An SRL must maintain full double-entry bookkeeping and file annual financial statements with ANAF. Working with a licensed accountant is required.
An SRL that qualifies as a micro-enterprise pays 1% income tax, provided it has at least one employee. From 2026 the micro-enterprise threshold drops to 100,000 EUR and the former 3% rate is abolished. Above the threshold, 16% profit tax applies. Dividends are taxed at 16% from 2026 (10% in 2025). Tax figures change frequently — we recommend confirming your exact situation with an accountant.
Because you receive commission invoices from Uber/Bolt (EU companies), you must register for special VAT purposes under art. 317 of the Tax Code (form D700) and obtain a VAT number valid in the VIES system. This code does NOT make you a normal VAT payer — it is used to declare and pay VAT on the commission retained by the platform. The obligation applies regardless of income. We walk you through the steps in our guide.
