Transfers from Sankt Peterburg (Pulkovo): routes & booking

Meet at airports and railway stations

We arrange meet & greet at railway stations as well, help with luggage, and confirm arrival details in advance.

Who Is the St. Petersburg Transfer Service For?

The transfer service from St. Petersburg is intended for clients who require individual transportation with pre-agreed trip parameters: pickup location, destination address, route, time window, allowable waiting time, and additional conditions (luggage, stops along the way, etc.). This format is suitable for both city trips and interregional trips in the Leningrad Region, Karelia, and neighboring regions.

Typical use cases:

• Air travelers (Pulkovo Airport, LED): pickup at actual arrival time, transfer “terminal → address/city”.
• Rail passengers: vehicle delivered to the station or even directly to the platform, providing a one-segment trip with no transfers or reliance on public transport schedules.
• Family trips and groups: transportation with higher requirements for luggage and boarding, with the option for planned stops along the route.
• Tourist and out-of-town routes: delivery to vacation resorts, hotels, private addresses; direct intercity travel without needing any connections.
• Corporate and business trips: fixed pickup time, priority on punctuality, predictable route and cost calculation.
• Nighttime or early departures: transfer during hours when alternatives (carsharing or public transport) are unreliable or unavailable.
• One-way trips: when a direct route is required without return logistics and without needing to purchase return tickets.

Where We Provide Transfers from St. Petersburg

We carry out individual and group trips from St. Petersburg and Pulkovo Airport along a pre-agreed route. Destinations include the Leningrad Region, Karelia, and neighboring regions of Northwest Russia, as well as long-distance interregional routes — depending on the task, group composition, and type of transport.

Leningrad Region

Suitable for short and medium routes (suburban or intercity) and trips to natural attractions and cultural heritage sites in the Leningrad Region.

Frequent destinations: Vyborg (historic center, castle), Priozersk, Kingisepp, Luga, Tikhvin, Volkhov, Sosnovy Bor; the resort coast of the Gulf of Finland (Sestroretsk, Repino, Komarovo, Zelenogorsk).

Transfer from St. Petersburg to the Republic of Karelia

Routes to Karelia can be either point-to-point (to a specific address) or “tourist” with stops along the way. Popular destinations: Sortavala, Lahdenpohja, Pitkyaranta, Petrozavodsk.

By agreement, we can also arrange trips to natural attractions: mountain parks, waterfalls, lakes, and to the starting points of tourist routes or excursions.

Neighboring Regions and Nearby Areas

If needed, we organize transfers from St. Petersburg and Pulkovo Airport to neighboring regions and nearby areas of Russia:

• Novgorod Region (Veliky Novgorod – historic architecture);
• Pskov Region (Pskov, Izborsk, Pechory – fortresses and monasteries);
• Vologda Region (including Cherepovets; for tourist routes – by agreement);
• Tver Region;
• Murmansk Region (long routes, popular for tourist trips);
• Arkhangelsk Region (long routes);

Tourist Routes and Sightseeing Trips

In addition to a standard “point A to point B” transfer, you can organize a trip in a sightseeing format: including natural locations, architectural landmarks, and planned stops.

A group trip on a tourist bus with a guide is also available. In this case, a bit more time is required to coordinate the route and stops, the duration of the program, the type and capacity of the bus, and the final cost (as it depends on the distance traveled and the working time of the vehicle and guide).

Vehicle Pickup Location

We arrange vehicle pickup in St. Petersburg and the nearby suburbs with a fixed pickup point and time window. The car can be brought to a specific address or to transport hubs (airport or train station). If necessary, we will arrange waiting, meet-and-greet with a sign, and additional pickup points.

Pulkovo Airport (LED)

• Vehicle delivery to the terminal at the agreed time (or at actual arrival time by arrangement).
• Meet-and-greet in the arrivals area is possible, including assistance with navigation and luggage (if provided by the trip format).
• In case of a flight delay, waiting conditions and pickup time adjustments are discussed in advance.

Saint Petersburg Railway Stations

Pickup at the main train stations of the city (Moskovsky, Ladozhsky, Finlyandsky, Vitebsky, Baltiysky), taking into account possible access restrictions and boarding/disembarking conditions.

Any Address in the City

We can also arrange pickup at any address within the city: hotel, apartment, business center, private house. If needed, we can pick up passengers from multiple points – with the route and pickup times planned in advance.

Suburbs and Nearby Towns

Pickup is also possible in the nearest localities around St. Petersburg (with prior arrangement of place and time).

Vehicles and Trip Options

A transfer from St. Petersburg can be organized in various formats — from a standard individual trip to a group outing with extended logistics. The vehicle is selected according to specific parameters: number of passengers, amount of luggage, route duration, seasonality, and comfort requirements.

Trip Formats

• Individual transfer: “point A → point B” without transfers, with a pre-agreed route and pickup time.
• Group transfer: for a family or company; can include pickup from multiple points and stops along the route.
• One-way intercity transfer: direct trip with no reliance on schedules or transfers.
• Route with stops: includes stops along the way (fuel, meals, scenic viewpoints, additional addresses).
• Sightseeing format: a route including natural/architectural locations with timed stops (according to a pre-arranged program).

Types of Transport

• Passenger car: for individual trips (1–4 passengers).
• Minivan / microbus: optimal for groups, allows for bulky luggage and provides comfortable boarding.
• Tourist bus: for organized groups (a guide can be provided).

Ordering a bus or sightseeing program usually requires additional time to coordinate all details (route, duration, stops, transport requirements, and cost calculation).

Selecting the Right Vehicle

When placing an order, we consider key parameters:

• number of passengers and amount of luggage (including non-standard items);
• required level of comfort;
• season and road conditions;
• time constraints (pickup for a flight or train, night departure);
• need for waiting, stops, and additional points along the route.

Vehicle Classes and Capacity

• Passenger cars (up to 3 passengers / up to 3 suitcases):
  • Economy: basic class for city and intercity trips without extra cost. Examples: Volkswagen Polo, Nissan Almera.
  • Standard: a versatile option for most routes. Examples: Skoda Octavia, Toyota Corolla.
  • Comfort: a more spacious interior and a higher level of comfort for long distances. Examples: Toyota Camry, Kia Optima.
  • Business: for business trips and events when prestige and presentation are important. Examples: Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series.
  • Executive: the highest level of comfort and status. Examples: Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series.
• Minivan (up to 7 passengers / up to 5 suitcases): business class for family or team when a spacious interior and extra luggage space are needed. Examples: Mercedes Viano, Volkswagen Multivan.
• Microbuses:
  • 8–10 seats (up to 10 passengers / up to 8 suitcases). Examples: Toyota Hiace, Mercedes Sprinter.
  • 11–15 seats (up to 15 passengers / up to 12 suitcases). Examples: Toyota Hiace, Fiat Ducato.
  • 16–18 seats (up to 18 passengers / up to 14 suitcases). Examples: Ford Transit, Citroën Jumper.
  • 19–20 seats (up to 20 passengers / up to 14 suitcases). Examples: Mercedes Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter.
• Tourist bus (45+ seats): for large groups, corporate outings and sightseeing programs. Examples: Neoplan, Yutong.

A tourist bus with a guide can be ordered separately. In this case, more time is needed to coordinate the route, stops, and program, since the final cost depends on the duration, number of stops, and the working time of the vehicle and guide.

Price and What Influences It

The cost of a transfer from St. Petersburg is calculated individually based on the trip parameters, not “by template.” We fix the key trip parameters (route, type of vehicle, pickup time) and form the final price based on them. This approach allows you to understand the budget in advance and avoids disagreements during the trip.

Main factors in calculation:

• Route and distance: mileage, estimated travel time, specific road conditions, toll sections (if any).
• Type and class of vehicle: passenger car (economy, standard, comfort, business, executive), minivan, microbus (8–20 seats) or bus (45+ seats).
• Number of passengers and luggage: affects the choice of vehicle category, need for increased trunk space or a separate vehicle for the group.
• Pickup time: daytime or nighttime, early departure, peak period, seasonal demand (weekends, holidays).
• Waiting and meet-and-greet: basic waiting is included (for example, up to 20 minutes); additional waiting or meet-and-greet (e.g. with a sign) are calculated separately by agreement.
• Route with stops: detours along the way, multiple pickup/drop-off points, waiting at intermediate addresses.
• Special trip format: sightseeing route, vehicle working by time (rather than just point-to-point), need to coordinate a program.

How the Cost Is Calculated in Practice

We typically clarify 4–6 parameters and quickly provide a quote:

• from where and to where (address, city or district);
• date and time of pickup;
• number of passengers and suitcases;
• vehicle class (or “choose for me”);
• whether stops or multiple addresses are needed;
• whether a guide, bus or sightseeing format is needed.

Important for group trips and 45+ seat buses: for microbuses and tourist buses, the cost is often calculated taking into account the working time of the vehicle (pickup time + route + program/stops). If a tour guide is added, a bit more time is needed for coordination: the route, duration, stop points, and final “turnkey” price need to be approved.

How to Order a Transfer

The process is simple: you send a preliminary request with a preferred contact method. We reach out to you (by phone or messenger) and agree on all trip parameters – route, time, vehicle, and cost. After that, we finalize the arrangements and confirm the vehicle pickup.

What to Include in the Preliminary Request

• Contact details and preferred communication channel (phone or messenger).
• From where and to where (address, Pulkovo Airport, train station, city or destination).
• Date and time (or time window).
• Number of passengers and amount of luggage.
• Preferred vehicle class (or a request to select the optimal one).
• Additional conditions: stops along the way, multiple addresses, waiting, meet-and-greet with a sign, sightseeing format.

How Coordination and Confirmation Works

1. We receive your request and clarify all initial data.
2. We get in touch (call or chat) and agree on the route, time, vehicle, and cost.
3. We confirm the order and fix the trip conditions.
4. At the appointed time, we dispatch the vehicle to the agreed place.
5. We carry out the trip along the route (with stops if they are planned).

If a microbus or tourist bus is required, or a sightseeing program needs to be organized, a bit more time may be needed for coordination (we will approve the program, stops, duration and calculate the final cost).

Meeting and Waiting

All details of meeting and waiting are decided in advance when coordinating the request: meeting point, pickup scenario, allowable waiting time, as well as actions in case of a delayed flight, train, or traffic jams. This avoids searching for each other on site and reduces the risk of disrupting the trip schedule.

Meeting at the Airport or Train Station

A meet-and-greet with a sign is available by prior arrangement. For pickups at the airport or train station, we consider any access restrictions and agree in advance on the specific meeting location (terminal, exit, parking or pickup area).

Waiting

Under standard conditions, up to 20 minutes of waiting is provided free of charge.

If a longer wait is needed (for example, due to lengthy baggage claim or a delayed group), this is discussed in advance — we will adjust the time and cost of the trip accordingly.

If a Flight or Train Is Delayed

When placing an order, you can provide the flight or train number. We will monitor the situation and agree in advance on how to act in case of a delay:

• adjust the pickup time within the agreed conditions;
• or switch the order to waiting/postponement mode as agreed.

Safety and Comfort on the Road

A transfer is not only about “getting there”, but also about a predictable and controlled process throughout the journey: from timely vehicle arrival to a steady pace of travel and proper communication en route. Therefore, we focus on the vehicle’s technical soundness, strict adherence to schedule, and passenger comfort at any distance.

Safety and Trip Control

• On-time pickup and execution of the route under the agreed conditions.
• Careful driving style and compliance with traffic rules – especially important on intercity routes, night departures, and in winter.
• Technically sound vehicles, ready for long trips (interregional routes, highways).

Comfort on the Route

• Working climate control or air conditioning; an interior suited to the number of passengers.
• Luggage: we select a vehicle for the required number of suitcases and any non-standard items.
• Stops on request: short breaks or detours are possible if agreed in advance (to avoid disrupting the schedule).
• Group trips: in minivans and microbuses, we consider seating arrangement and boarding comfort, especially on long journeys.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I order a transfer from Pulkovo Airport (LED)?

Yes. We arrange a car pickup at Pulkovo Airport and a meet-and-greet according to a pre-agreed scenario (including meeting with a sign if necessary). The meeting point and waiting conditions are fixed in advance.

Do you only operate in St. Petersburg, or are intercity trips possible?

Intercity trips are possible as well. We operate not only within St. Petersburg, but also in the Leningrad Region, Karelia, and neighboring regions. The route is agreed in advance; if necessary, we add intermediate stops.

Can we make several stops or detours along the way?

Yes, the route can be composite: multiple pickup/drop-off points, detours along the way, planned stops. It’s best to indicate this in the request right away – so we can properly plan the time and calculate the cost.

Is there transport for a group (minivan, microbus, bus)?

Yes. We have the full range of transport available – from passenger cars to minivans, microbuses (8–20 seats) and tourist buses (45+ seats). The choice of vehicle depends on the number of passengers and the volume of luggage.

Can I order a tourist bus with a guide?

Yes, this option is possible. However, it requires more time to coordinate: we need to confirm the route, schedule of stops, and final “turnkey” cost.

What about waiting if a flight or train is delayed?

These points are discussed in advance when booking. We can adjust the pickup time to the actual arrival (for example, upon flight arrival) and agree on an allowable waiting time.

How quickly is the order confirmed?

Very quickly. After receiving the preliminary request, we immediately contact you to clarify details (route, time, vehicle, cost). As soon as all conditions are agreed, we confirm the order and vehicle pickup.
