Taxi companies in Lugansk. Phone numbers and names.
First of all, remember, catching a taxi on a street at night is the worst thing to do. There is a big difference
between using a regular taxi service and taking taxi on a street. There are many taxi companies in Lugansk, so the
competition is high and the cost for the taxi is cheap because of that. So if you need to get from A to B it's better
to call one of the taxi companies using your mobile phone. Before sending a car to pick you up they will give you
exact price for the ride and they will call you back when the taxi is downstairs. The operators of the taxi companies
and the drivers usually don't speak much English, in this case ask your Russian-speaking
friends to make a phone call for you. Check the list of the taxi companies, I just put few that I usually use myself. There over 20 of them in total
driving around the city. |

Best taxi to get to Lugansk airport and to Donetsk airport. When I need to go to the airport I usually use Econom or Euro-Taxi. The price for a taxi
ride from the city center to Lugansk airport is about $10-$13. It takes about 20-30
minutes to get there. Usually the flight from Lugansk to Kiev is early in the morning,
so there is no traffic and it's easy to drive. Sometimes if you have a lot of luggage
better use Euro-Taxi and ask them to send a bigger car, they have some big ones. One
time we were traveling 3 people and each of us had 2-3 pretty heavy bags, and we
could put all of them no problem, just ask for bigger Citroen car. The taxi ride from Lugansk to Donetsk airport would cost about $65-$80, the
round trip would be about $100-$120. It would take about 2
hours to drive one way. The road from Lugansk to Donetsk is OK, but there are some
parts of the road that are very narrow, one car one way and another car another
way, so if there is some truck stuck in the middle, it can get longer to get to
the airport. The distance
from Lugansk to Donetsk airport is about 160km. |
Taxi from Lugansk to Kiev. That's about 900km distance to drive from Lugansk to Kiev by taxi and the road would
take about 11-15 hours. The price for the taxi to Kiev is 3 UAH per kilometer, so
that's going to be about 2700 UAH one way, that's about $335 for a taxi ride to
Kiev from Lugansk. That would be cheaper just to take a flight from Lugansk to Kiev,

Getting a taxi at the train station or bus station in Lugansk. Please, be careful picking up a taxi waiting near train station or bus station.
Those are usually drivers who don't work for any taxi company and they often has
little knowledge about the city and their cars are pretty old. And for sure their
prices will be super high. So as I said before, ask someone to call for a taxi using
one of the phone numbers of the taxi companies. The normal price for a ride from
train station or bus station to the city center is about $3. Train station is only
10-15 minutes walking distance to the city center and the bus station is about 20
minutes walking to the center. That is really close. If you don't have too much
of luggage with you, you can just use a bus for transportation, the price for a
bus ride is just 30 cents or 2.5 UAH |
Cost for the taxi to drive around Lugansk. Most of the taxi companies are not using any meters. There is flat rate to drive
from one part of town to another. Lugansk is divided into few areas such as Center,
South, East and other two areas called Kambrod and Yubileyniy. The South is the
area that covers few blocks and the price to get there from the center is around
$3, travel time is about 15 minutes. The price from the Center to the East part
of town is about $4 and it takes up to 20 minutes. Yubileiniy is an area that was
a separate settlement before, but now it became part of Lugansk, it's located on
the way from Lugansk to Donetsk, to get there from the center would cost about $4-$5.
Kambrod is another part of town that was a separate settlement in past and the price
to get there is also about $4-$5. Lugansk is really very compact city and you can
get to any part of town for 20 minutes maximum! |
