For first-time visitors to Saint Petersburg, airport transfers typically include private car services, official taxis, and potentially bus connections to the city center (approximately 17km away). To find current prices, schedules, and available services, please use the booking widgets on this page or check with official airport information upon arrival.

Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers approach travelers in the arrivals area offering rides at inflated prices or without meters. Avoid by using official taxi stands, pre-booking through verified apps like Yandex Taxi or Gett, or using the airport's official taxi service. Never accept rides from people soliciting inside the terminal.

Currency Exchange Scams: Airport exchange counters and individuals may offer poor rates or use confusing calculations to shortchange travelers. Avoid by withdrawing rubles from official ATMs inside the terminal, using your bank card for payments, or exchanging only small amounts at the airport. Check current rates online before exchanging.

Overpriced 'Express' Services: Unofficial porters or 'helpers' may insist on carrying bags or providing unnecessary assistance, then demand excessive payment. Some may claim to offer 'fast-track' services that don't exist. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help, using official airport porter services if needed, and confirming any service fees upfront.
