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 Kunichina Gora — Pskov transfer costs ₽3,000 per car, up to four passengers with luggage. About an hour on the road, roughly 55 km. The reverse direction, Pskov — Kunichina Gora, is the same price.
This is a road crossing, so there are two different cases. If you are driving your own car, you only need a GoSwift queue booking, not a transfer. If you cross on foot or were dropped at the barrier, you need a car onwards: there is practically no scheduled transport from the checkpoint to Pskov.
The Estonian car does not cross the border. We drive you to Koidula, you go through control yourself, and a separate car waits on the Russian side.
Price
Taxi Kunichina Gora — Pskov: what ₽3,000 covers
The price is for the whole car and known before the trip. Taxis hardly ever wait at the checkpoint, and if one turns up it will run on the meter with no guarantee it will even take such a trip.
| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Kunichina Gora — Pskov | ₽3,000 | the whole car, up to 4 passengers with luggage |
| Pskov — Kunichina Gora | ₽3,000 | the reverse direction, the same price |

Paying. In roubles; the sum is confirmed by message before the trip. Give your address in Pskov in advance — the station, the bus station, a hotel or a house; the price does not change.
How the trip works
An hour from the border to Pskov
- 01
We agree the time
Tell us the date and roughly when you expect to leave the checkpoint. The queue at control is unpredictable, so the driver waits for your message rather than following a timetable.
- 02
Meeting at the barrier
The car stands at the exit from the Russian side of the crossing. No need to look for a taxi or negotiate on the spot.
- 03
The road via Pechory
About 55 kilometres: first past Pechory, then on to Pskov. The drive takes about an hour, a little more in winter.
- 04
Drop-off in Pskov
We drive you to an address: the railway station, the bus station, a hotel or a house. If you continue by train, tell us the time — we will set the departure to match.
Comparison
Transfer, taxi or bus to Pskov
The key feature of this crossing: there is no scheduled transport straight from the checkpoint. Buses cross the border in transit and do not pick up passengers at the barrier.
| Way | Price | Time | What matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booked transfer | ₽3,000 per car | ≈ 1 h | the car waits at the checkpoint exit |
| Taxi on the spot | by the meter | ≈ 1 h | hardly ever waits at the crossing, do not count on it in the evening |
| Transit bus | the carrier's fare | depends on the service | crosses the border straight through, does not pick up at the barrier |
Who needs this. Those who crossed on foot, or came by transfer to Koidula and were left without a car on the Russian side. If you cross in your own car, you need not a car but a GoSwift slot.
