Transfer Tallinn — Narva
We pick you up at your flat, hotel, the airport or the cruise port and drive you straight to the checkpoint in Narva — 210 kilometres of highway, roughly two and a half hours. No meter: you know the fare before departure, and neither traffic nor the number of passengers changes it.

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 Tallinn to Narva transfer costs €130 for the whole car — up to four passengers with luggage. The distance is 210 km and the drive takes about 2 hours 30 minutes. We leave at any hour, including the middle of the night.
The fare covers the name-board pickup at Tallinn airport, waiting for your flight, loading the suitcases and a child seat. The only extra is a booked slot in the border queue — €50 on top.
The Narva checkpoint is for pedestrians only and works during the day, so we count the departure time backwards from its opening hours — that way you never arrive at a closed gate. Opening hours change; check them before you travel.

Private transfer to the Narva border: what €130 covers
The fare belongs to the car, not to the seat. One passenger or four, two suitcases or five, midday or three in the morning — the sum stays the same.
| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Tallinn — Narva | €130 | the whole car, up to 4 passengers with luggage |
| Narva — Tallinn | €130 | the return trip at the same price |
| A booked slot in the border queue | +€50 | we reserve the time in advance so you do not wait for hours |
| Airport or cruise port pickup | €0 | a name board in the arrivals hall; waiting for the flight is not billed |
| Luggage, child seat, night departure | €0 | no surcharge for the hour of the day or the number of bags |
Paying. Cash to the driver or a bank transfer, in euros. No prepayment — the ride first, the settlement after. We confirm the price by message before departure so you have it in writing.
Why the price is per car and not per person
It is fairer to the passenger. A bus or a train sells you a seat, so a family of three pays three times what one person pays. Here you pay for the road once: €130 is the cost of 210 kilometres, not of the seats taken. For two people it almost always beats a metered taxi, and for four it beats it clearly.
Airport and port
Transfer from Tallinn airport to Narva
You have landed in Tallinn and you need the border — on this route that is the most common story. Lennart Meri airport sits four kilometres from the centre, so the drive to Narva starts right at the terminal.
Name board in the arrivals hall
Leave your flight number when you book: the driver tracks the arrival and waits at the baggage-hall exit. No hunting for a parking spot, no phone calls explaining where you are standing.
If your flight is delayed
The meeting time moves with the actual landing — the price does not change and the booking is not cancelled. At night there are almost no free cars at the terminal, and few drivers take a two-hundred-kilometre run, which is exactly why this trip is booked in advance.
From the port, the stations and your door
The same terms if you arrive by cruise ship at the Old Port, by train or by coach: give us the flight number or the ship's name and we will meet you at the exit. We also collect from any address in Tallinn — Lasnamäe, Kristiine, Pirita, the Old Town.
How the trip works
From request to checkpoint
- 01
We agree the time
Send the date, the address and the hour that suits you. Flying or arriving by ship — the flight number or the vessel name. You get back a confirmation with the price and the exact departure time.
- 02
We leave Tallinn
Pickup from any district, from a hotel, the airport or the port. We load the suitcases ourselves and charge nothing for them. The driver arrives early rather than «in about fifteen minutes».
- 03
The road through Rakvere and Jõhvi
Two and a half hours of even highway. We can stop for coffee and a stretch on the way — that time is already in the plan and costs nothing extra.
- 04
Drop-off at the border
We stop at the Narva-1 checkpoint, where the pedestrian crossing to Ivangorod begins. You clear the border yourself: anything from half an hour to several hours, depending on the queue.
Comparison
Taxi Tallinn — Narva, bus, train or transfer
Honestly: if you travel alone and light, the bus is several times cheaper. People choose a transfer for the time and for being driven to the barrier itself.
| Way | Price | Time | What matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| EstoniaTransfer private car | €130 per car | ≈ 2 h 30 min | door to checkpoint, departure at any hour, price known in advance |
| Metered taxi | by the meter, unknown upfront | ≈ 2 h 30 min | drivers take long runs reluctantly: the empty way back is in the fare too |
| Lux Express coach | from €9 per person | ≈ 3 h | the cheapest option, but on a timetable and from bus station to bus station |
| Elron train | €13–23 per person | ≈ 2 h 50 min | a few departures a day, and a walk from Narva station to the crossing |
When nothing else will do. An early border crossing: the checkpoint opens at 7:00 and the first coach arrives later. A night landing. Travelling with a child, a pram or four suitcases. And the way back — catching a car at the Narva crossing is close to impossible.
The car
What you travel in and who drives
2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid: four passenger seats, climate control and a boot that swallows two large suitcases plus hand luggage. This is the driver's own car, not a rotating fleet vehicle, so the interior is clean. Winter tyres in winter, working air conditioning in summer — the road to Narva is long enough for both to matter.
Kirill is at the wheel, and he is the one answering WhatsApp and Telegram. You arrange things directly with the person who will drive you: no dispatcher, nothing lost in retelling. He speaks Russian and gets by in English.
