Freelance English Speaking Drivers in Moscow, Russia
Why hire us     

Better than one, better than too many

A single driver isn't enough to provide reliable transportation support. One driver will often be unavailable, have car breakdowns, scheduling conflicts. The solution is going with a big company, but these are typically slow to respond to individual needs.

Thus us, a small, loosely structured, dynamic, and informal coop.

No agents, no dispatchers, no long communication lines, no misunderstandings

You will correspond via e-mail (or talk on the phone) with the very person who'll meet you and otherwise look after your needs.  See our Driver List for contacts details of individual drivers. Not sure whom to pick? Then write to me, and I'll recommend a suitable driver/guide/assistant.

We all speak at least some English! 

Have you ever tried playing poker in a Russian free poker site? It can be quite confusing, specially if you don't know how to speak Russian. This isn't different from trying to work with a driver who doesn't know how to speak English.

Or, is rare cases your driver is not yet fluent in English, there will be someone who is easily available over the phone. While we don't try to compete in terms of price, hiring us may be considerably cheaper than engaging a driver and an interpreter separately. Tell us your needs and your budget and we'll recommend the most suitable person to help you get the most out of your trip to Moscow.

While of course advance arrangements are best,

we can often act at a moment's notice.

Safety is our first concern

We practice a conservative and defensive driving style. Those familiar with the Moscow road situation will appreciate being with us. Unlike taxi drivers, we receive fair rates and are not under financial pressure to save seconds by exposing you to risk.

Our inconspicuous cars attract no undesirable attention

Those who have travelled here before and know how annoying document checks can be will appreciate our humble vehicles. We often go for WEEKS between police checks!

We will answer your questions,

discuss your special needs and address any concerns you may have on the way to or from the airport. Your ride can very easily be turned into an entertaining and informative tour!

We provide help with buying tickets at domestic prices,

cell phone purchase or rental, errands, etc. - pretty much anything and everything to make your trip easy and budget-effective.

Accommodation is no problem

We will advise you of the best hostel, hotel, apartment or room for you. One of us (Pasha, the one who developed the concept, wrote text, and somehow moved this site to Top 10 without really doing a thing) is an expert on the budget end of the accommodation market and in most cases will be able to recommend decent lodging arrangements starting at $25/night for a room or $70 for a private apartment.

A simple straightforward fee structure:

$80 [valid as of September 2009; expected to remain at this level for the next few months] for a ride from Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo or any other airport to the city center at any time of day or night. Parking included. No surcharges for waiting or night-time rides. There is no extra charge for, say, stopping at a bank to exchange money and, whilst we neither claim nor aim to be the cheapest, our prices are in no way out of line. Our competitors often advertise lower prices but charge you for waiting time, parking, stopping etc. And, yes, we can issue an official receipt with a round Russian-style seal if you are travelling on business.

We have excellent references
