Route overview

Door-to-door transfer Warsaw to Riga, the capital of Latvia, at about 600 km. The route is the Via Baltica: the S8 to Bialystok, the S61 via Suwalki to the Budzisko crossing, then on through Kaunas and Panevezys on the A5 and E67 into Riga. The entire overland route runs through Schengen (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia), with no border checks and no queues, on an EU ID card alone. The plan is 7–8 h same-day with breaks every 2–3 h, optionally with a longer stop in Kaunas. Riga means the UNESCO Old Town of Baroque and Art Nouveau, the world's largest concentration of Art Nouveau architecture (Alberta iela), the House of the Blackheads, the Riga Central Market and RIX, the largest airport in the Baltics. We match the car to the party: a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class for a couple or business travel, a V-Class for 4–6 passengers with no luggage limit. A fixed price confirmed at booking, one chauffeur and one number for the whole route, 24/7.

Warsaw to Tallinn Private Transfer

Door-to-door transfer Warsaw to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia and the farthest of the Baltic destinations at about 920 km. The route is the Via Baltica along the whole Baltic spine: the S8 and S61 to the Budzisko crossing, then on through Kaunas, Riga and Parnu into Tallinn. The entire overland route runs through Schengen (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), with no border checks, no queues and no ferries, on an EU ID card alone. Given the distance we recommend a two-day plan with an overnight in Riga, which splits the drive into two comfortable 7–8 h legs; a same-day 11–13 h option is available on request. Tallinn is the best-preserved medieval Old Town in Northern Europe (UNESCO), Toompea hill, Town Hall Square, the Kadriorg district and the ferry to Helsinki (about 2 h). It is also Europe's digital capital — e-residency and the origin of companies like Skype and Wise. Vehicle: a Mercedes V-Class for 4–6 passengers with luggage, or an S-Class for executive travel. A fixed price confirmed at booking, one chauffeur and one number for the whole route, 24/7.

Warsaw to Vilnius Private Transfer

Door-to-door transfer Warsaw to Vilnius for guests who prefer a private car over a flight or train. About 430 km on the Via Baltica: the S8 from Warsaw to Bialystok, then the S61 via Lomza and Suwalki to the Budzisko crossing, and the Lithuanian A5 via Marijampole and Kaunas into Vilnius. The Polish-Lithuanian border is a Schengen crossing, so we pass it with no checks, no queue and an EU ID card alone. The whole route is motorway and expressway, and the same-day 5–6 h plan with breaks every 2–3 h is the standard choice. Vilnius was a Polish city until 1939 and still carries that heritage: the Gate of Dawn with Our Lady of Vilnius, Rasos Cemetery where the heart of Marshal Pilsudski rests, the Baroque UNESCO Old Town, Cathedral Square and Gediminas Hill. We match the car to the party: a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class for a couple or business travel, a V-Class for 4–6 passengers with no luggage limit. A fixed price confirmed at booking, one chauffeur and one number for the whole route, 24/7.
