Transfer Ivangorod — Kunichina Gora: into Estonia bypassing the Narva crossing
From Ivangorod you can enter Estonia not only over the bridge into Narva but also further south — through Kunichina Gora, the Russian side of the crossing opposite Estonia's Koidula. The Narva crossing is pedestrian only, its queue can be long and its hours change; if it does not suit you, we drive you to Kunichina Gora: about 295 kilometres along Lake Peipus, roughly five hours. The price is ₽25,000 for the whole car, up to four passengers with luggage.

What the price covers
- The fare is fixed before departure: traffic and night trips do not change it
- Pickup at the airport and cruise port — the driver waits with a name board
- If your flight is delayed we wait as long as needed, at no extra cost
- A child seat on request, and no surcharge for luggage
- Pay in cash, by card or by bank transfer; no prepayment required
In short. The Ivangorod — Kunichina Gora transfer costs ₽25,000 per car, not per seat: one passenger or four, the sum is the same. The road is about 295 km and five hours via Kingisepp, Slantsy, Gdov, Pskov and Pechory. The return trip, from the crossing to Ivangorod, is priced on request.
What comes next. We drop you at the checkpoint and you go through control yourself. On the Estonian side, at Koidula, you can book our car: to Narva €200, to Tallinn €160. The Estonian car does not cross the border, so the way from Ivangorod to Narva or Tallinn is two trips in different cars — both can be arranged in one conversation.
How long it takes. Reaching Narva via Koidula takes a whole day: about five hours in Russia, control, then about 270 km more in Estonia. Ivangorod and Narva are separated only by a river, so people take this route when the Narva crossing does not suit them.

Comparison
How to get from Ivangorod to Kunichina Gora
The shortest way from Ivangorod into Estonia is on foot over the bridge into Narva. If that is ruled out, Kunichina Gora is reached either by car or by piecing the trip together from scheduled services with changes.
| Way | Price | Time | What matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booked transfer | ₽25,000 per car | ≈ 5 h to the crossing | met in Ivangorod, dropped at the checkpoint, price known in advance |
| Scheduled services with changes | carriers' fares | longer, depends on connections | to Pskov with a change, for example via Petersburg: a bus there, then a Lastochka train or bus; from Pskov to the crossing about another hour |
| Taxi on the spot | negotiable | ≈ 5 h to the crossing | there are few cars in Ivangorod, and a long run has to be negotiated on the spot |
| On foot via the Narva crossing | — | depends on the queue | the shortest way, if the queue and the crossing's hours suit you |
Why public transport is awkward. The scheduled route takes several changes, and there is practically no scheduled transport from Pskov or Pechory to the checkpoint itself. With suitcases such a day gets very long.
