About this route

Route overview

Door-to-door transfer Krakow to Lviv for clients needing a private vehicle to western Ukraine. 410 km on the A4 motorway to Korczowa, then the M11 road via Mostyska and Sambir to Lviv. The PL/UA border is the critical part of the plan — Lviv is outside the Schengen Area and a valid passport is required (an EU ID card is not enough). The standard wait at Korczowa/Medyka/Hrebenne crossings is 1-3 h, and 5 h in holiday peaks. The chauffeur tracks live queue times on granica.gov.pl and picks the best crossing dynamically before arrival. IMPORTANT: in 2026 the Russia-Ukraine war continues — Lviv in the west remains stable and safe for civilian transfers, but we only operate after written confirmation of the client's informed decision. Civilian flights to Ukraine have been suspended since February 2022, road transfer is the only option. Mercedes V-Class seating 4-6 passengers with room for 6-8 suitcases. Fixed price from EUR 950 one-way or EUR 1,750 round-trip including chauffeur hotel in Lviv. The service runs 24/7 with live route monitoring and one point of contact.

Common questions

FAQ

Is Lviv safe in 2026 despite the war in Ukraine?

Lviv sits in western Ukraine, more than 1000 km from the front line — the city is stable, restaurants, hotels and landmarks operate normally. Occasional air alerts (mostly at night) are part of daily life. We do not operate transfers east of Lviv. We require written confirmation of the client's informed decision and monitor the security situation through the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and local partners. The chauffeur is in 24/7 contact with base and follows emergency protocols.

How long is the PL/UA border check and what about passports?

A valid passport with at least 6 months validity is required — an EU ID card is not enough, Ukraine is outside Schengen. Standard wait at Korczowa/Medyka/Hrebenne is 1-3 h, up to 5 h on holiday weekends. The chauffeur checks live queue data on granica.gov.pl before arrival and picks the best crossing dynamically. A 1-3 h buffer is built into the route time — the final ETA is confirmed to the client en route.

How does a road transfer work when there are no civilian flights to Ukraine?

Civilian flights to Ukraine have been suspended since February 2022 — a road transfer from Poland is the only option for civilians. 410 km from Krakow is a relatively short run (comparable to Warsaw), via the A4 motorway to Korczowa plus the M11 road to Lviv. A Mercedes V-Class carries 4-6 passengers with luggage. We also operate humanitarian, business and family-support transfers after client profile confirmation. The standard plan is a morning departure from Krakow with afternoon arrival in Lviv.

Can I add a stop on route Krakow (hotel or KRK airport) -> Lviv (Львів, hotel or city address)?

Yes. Planned stops and waiting windows can be included within a single booking.

Will I receive route confirmation before pickup?

Yes. Core timing and operational details are confirmed before dispatch.
