The short version
Uzhhorod is closer to Košice than Bratislava is to Vienna, yet the border turns a simple drive into something worth delegating. We do this run several times a week: the driver knows which lane moves, which hours to avoid and what the officers will ask.
You are picked up at your address or at Košice Airport, driven to the crossing at Vyšné Nemecké, taken through it, and delivered to your hotel, office or meeting in Uzhhorod. Return transfers and same-day round trips are booked the same way.
Door to door
Pickup at your address, hotel or Košice Airport, drop-off anywhere in Uzhhorod.
Border assistance
Your driver handles the queue, the forms and the questions on both sides.
Tolls & vignettes
Slovak and Ukrainian road charges are already in the price.
Waiting time
Sixty minutes of free waiting at the airport, thirty at other pickups.
