When flying into St Petersburg, you’ll land at Pulkovo airport (LED), a small airport on the outskirts of town.  Make sure after you land you have your passport and visa ready, as these will be checked by immigration agents before the baggage collection area.

Once outside, there are dozens of taxis.  However, these taxis charge a lot more than normal, and the drivers will try to take advantage of you if you don’t speak Russian.  (The same is the case throughout the city).  Rather than hailing a taxi on the street, book online with the taxi service on sntpeters.com and you’ll typically save at least half of the fare.  Our website monitors all of the city’s taxi fares and will find you the best price to get from Pulkovo airport to anywhere (and we mean, anywhere!).  Just let us know the time and date of your arrival by filling out our online form, and we will find and book the best taxi for you—guaranteed. 

After you book a taxi, and shortly after you arrive and turn on your phone (eg when you’re going through passport control), we’ll send you an sms with detailed information about your taxi, including where it’s waiting, what kind of car it is, and the taxi’s number.  We can also arrange for the driver to wait for you with a sign in the airport arrival hall—just let us know! 

Be assured that staff at sntpeters.com all speak fluent English and can help you out in any situation with just a phone call or email.  If your flight schedule has unexpectedly changed, you have missed your flight and need to cancel the booking, or just can’t find the driver, simply give us a call on +7 904 516 15 15 or email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  Most if not all of the drivers in St Petersburg cannot speak English, so we will help you to find your way to your destination by communicating with drivers and with you, to let you know of any traffic jams or other incidents that might occur. 

Last but certainly not least, we can arrange for you a free ride to or from the airport.  If you book a room for at least four nights via our website, then we will arrange for the taxi for you for FREE.  After you’ve made your hotel booking, simply fill in our taxi form as usual and put the dates of your booked nights in the ‘additional information’ section, and let us know whether you would like your free taxi to or from the airport.  Our friendly website staff will then send you a confirmation.

So, with our ability to get you the cheapest taxis to and from Pulkovo (LED) with our ongoing and helpful support in English, make sure you use sntpeters.com—the fastest and easiest site for all your needs while in St Petersburg!
