Arrival Transfers in St Petersburg
The situation at St Petersburg Airport and at the railway station can be chaotic - and taxi drivers fight for business. A few recent cases have highlighted the need for vigilance - make sure you agree the fare BEFORE you enter a private car or an official taxi or you can be overcharged. St Petersburg does not have a rail link to the city centre. A bus does run to transfer you to the metro station some 4kn away, but Russian language is a major advantage and if you have luggage it can be a bit tricky!
We do offer a low-cost transfer service where a driver will meet you with a name board and transfer you safely to your destination - check out prices online or chat with out local team, or call or email us - we would be delighted to assure you of a dedicated low-cost transfer. Our drivers wait for up to 2 hours after scheduled arrival time and our local team is available by phone if you have any problem meeting up with the driver. A bad start to your visit can ruin the trip to this great city - so book your transfer in advance!
