Comfortable trip from Riga to St. Petersburg with ArtSanTaxi
One of the most popular routes today is the Riga – St. Petersburg route. The distance between these cities is 575 kilometers. Our company ArtSanTaxi offers comfortable transfers that will take any number of passengers to the specified address. We have cars for 1-3 people (Sedan) and for larger groups (minibus).
Since many passengers fly to Riga by plane, ArtSanTaxi drivers always meet them at the airport. If the flight is delayed, we never charge for parking, and we do not ask for prepayment. Our drivers wait for passengers as long as necessary. ArtSanTaxi employees monitor all flights, so we are always ready for unforeseen situations and force majeure.
What travel options from Riga to St. Petersburg does ArtSanTaxi offer
You can get from one city to another through three different borders. The most popular road today is the one that runs through the Luhamaa-Shumilkino border. The distance from Riga to Luhamaa is 240 kilometers.
The send route is located above this border. The checkpoint is also located on the territory of Estonia. We are talking about the border crossing Koidula-Kunichina Gora.co
The third option is a trip through Latvia. Namely, through the pedestrian crossing in Grebnevo-Ubylinka.
The manager always offers all three options, since each passenger has individual requests. Also, when clients arrive directly at the departure point, our employees once again monitor the borders using cameras and tell clients where the situation with the speed of passing the control is the best. And then, the client can choose a new route or not change their original decision. We try to choose the option that will not have to stand in line for a long time. Because for everyone who crosses the border, this is the biggest problem. All borders are in open areas, there are no canopies, so it is very important for people to spend a minimum of time there.
Most often, we suggest going through Luhamaa. If there are too many people there, then we have an option with Koidula. By the way, the distance between these cities is only 40 kilometers, so in case of some unforeseen situation and delays at the border, the driver can quickly transport passengers from one point to another.
To make the border crossing as fast as possible, it is important to remember that you cannot bring equipment worth more than 300 euros, and it must be for personal use. And in no case can you bring euros in any quantity. As for dollars, you can freely carry them in quantities of up to 10 thousand without declaring.
Also now the Russian Federation is starting to introduce restrictions on the import of products of animal origin. Therefore, it is not recommended to take cheeses, sausages, dairy products. Because in case of confiscation of goods, a protocol will be drawn up and the person will be added to the list. Everyone who is on such a list is always carefully inspected when crossing the border.
If passengers want to save money, our second transfer, which meets them from the Russian Federation, can take them not to St. Petersburg, but to Pskov. And from there they can get there by train. Trains depart daily at: 06:05 (arrival 09:39), 12:44 (arrival 16:18), 14:12 (arrival 18:08), 19:34 (arrival 23:08), 22:50 (arrival 02:24).
