Taxi and transfer Saint Petersburg — Tallinn
A taxi from Petersburg cannot reach Tallinn in one car: the bridge between Ivangorod and Narva is closed to vehicles and the border is crossed on foot. So the journey is a car from Petersburg to Ivangorod, a walk across, and a car from Narva to Tallinn. We put it together as one trip for €200 per car: no hunting for a taxi at the border with suitcases, no dealing with two drivers.

Ivangorod — Narva is crossed on foot only
Cars are not let across the bridge — not your own, not a taxi. The checkpoint works from 7:00 to 19:00 and is closed at night. The queue is unpredictable, so reach the border early. The hours have changed several times — check politsei.ee before you travel.
In short. The transfer from Saint Petersburg to Tallinn is €200 for the whole trip: both cars and the walk between them, up to four passengers. Petersburg — Ivangorod — about 150 km and 2 h 30 min. The border — on foot across the bridge, from half an hour to several hours. Narva — Tallinn — 210 km and about 2 h 30 min, drop-off at an address, the airport or the port.
The departure time is what matters. The crossing works from 7:00 to 19:00. Leave Petersburg so that you reach the border with time for the queue: miss the closing and you spend the night in Ivangorod. We work out the departure with you, counting back from your flight or ferry in Tallinn.
Other ways. The Baltic Shuttle and Lux Express through coaches run from Petersburg to Tallinn on a timetable; their passengers also cross on foot and the coach waits on the Estonian side. Cheapest if you travel light and the departure time suits you.

How the trip works
Petersburg to Tallinn step by step
- 01
Leaving Petersburg
A car collects you from an address in Petersburg. We agree the departure in advance so that you reach the border with time for the queue — the crossing closes at 19:00.
- 02
150 kilometres to Ivangorod
About two and a half hours on the highway. Drop-off at the checkpoint where the pedestrian crossing over the bridge begins.
- 03
You cross the border yourself
First Russian control, then on foot across the bridge, then Estonian passport and customs control in Narva. However long the queue takes, the price stays the same.
- 04
Our car at the exit in Narva
The driver waits at the exit from the Narva-1 checkpoint and drives you to Tallinn: 210 km, about two and a half hours. Drop-off at an address, the airport terminal or the port. This is already part of the €200 through trip — nothing extra to pay.
The car
What you travel in from Narva to Tallinn
2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid: four passenger seats, climate control, a boot for two large suitcases and hand luggage. After walking across the border with your bags it is the first place where you can simply sit down.
It is the driver's own car. Kirill is at the wheel and answers WhatsApp and Telegram himself, so one message is enough if the border holds you up. He speaks Russian and English.
