Transfer Ivangorod — Saint Petersburg
You have walked across the border at Narva and you are in Ivangorod — the Russian part of the journey begins here. The car waits at the exit from the checkpoint and drives you to Petersburg: about 150 kilometres and two and a half hours. The price is ₽6,500 for the whole car, not per passenger.

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 — Saint Petersburg transfer costs ₽6,500 per car — up to four passengers with luggage. About 2 hours 30 minutes on the road. The reverse direction, Saint Petersburg — Ivangorod, costs the same.
About the car. The Estonian car does not cross the border: we drive you to the checkpoint in Narva, you walk across the bridge, and a separate car takes you through Russia. So this trip is booked as a continuation of the route, not as one uninterrupted ride.
The driver waits at the exit from the checkpoint, not in town — no need to walk around the Ivangorod border zone looking for a taxi. The rules for staying in this zone have changed; check them before you travel.
Price
Transfer Ivangorod — Petersburg: what ₽6,500 covers
The fare is for the whole car: one person or four, the sum is the same. An ordinary taxi at the border runs on the meter and names no price in advance; here you know it before departure.
| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Ivangorod — Saint Petersburg | ₽6,500 | the whole car, up to 4 passengers with luggage |
| Saint Petersburg — Ivangorod | ₽6,500 | the reverse direction at the same price |
| Meeting at the checkpoint | ₽0 | the driver waits at the exit, no need to look for a car in town |
| Waiting at the border | ₽0 | the queue at control is unpredictable, you pay nothing for the delay |
Paying. In roubles; we confirm the sum by message before the trip. Give the exact address in Petersburg in advance: the price is the same for the whole city, but the route through it is worth planning.
Why this is a separate trip, not a continuation of the Estonian one
The Narva checkpoint is pedestrian: cars do not use it at all. So the route has three parts — the transfer to the border in Estonia, the walk across the bridge and the transfer in Russia. Each part is paid separately, but on each the price is known in advance.
How the trip works
From the checkpoint to Petersburg
- 01
We arrange it in advance
Tell us the date and roughly when you expect to clear the border. The queue cannot be predicted, so the driver goes by your message and waits rather than leaving on a schedule.
- 02
Meeting in Ivangorod
The car stands at the exit from the checkpoint. No need to look for a taxi in the border zone — there are almost none, especially in the evening.
- 03
The road to Petersburg
About 150 kilometres on the highway through Kingisepp. Usually two and a half hours, longer on Fridays and in the dacha season.
- 04
Drop-off at your address
We drive you to an address in Petersburg: Pulkovo airport, a station, a hotel or a house. The price does not depend on the point in the city.
Comparison
Transfer, a taxi at the border or a bus
From Ivangorod to Petersburg you can also take a scheduled bus or catch a taxi on the spot. The difference is predictability: a transfer waits for you specifically, at a known price.
| Way | Price | Time | What matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booked transfer | ₽6,500 per car | ≈ 2 h 30 min | the driver waits at the checkpoint, the price is known before the trip |
| Taxi on the spot | by the meter, unknown in advance | ≈ 2 h 30 min | few cars at the border, in the evening there may be none |
| Scheduled bus | the carrier's fare | longer, with stops | on a timetable and from the bus station, awkward with luggage and children |
When a transfer pays off. An evening crossing, a trip with children or suitcases, a connection with a train or plane in Petersburg — in all these cases it matters that the car is already there.
