Transfer to/from - Tallinn airport (TLL)

Transportation

Ride-sharing

A good way to get out of the airport is to request a ride using the Uber or Bolt apps. To find your driver, you must exit the Arrivals area on the ground floor. However, it is always advisable to follow the instructions directly from the app once your ride has been confirmed. Prices to the centre of Tallinn are around €8.00, depending on which option you choose.

Line 2 from Tallinna Linnatranspordi (Tel +372 643 4142) runs along Tartu highway, about 100 metres from the airport.

Rent a Car

Taxi

Taxi ranks are located directly in front of the terminal doors. The official airport operators are Forus Takso (Tel +372 612 0000) and Tallink Takso (Tel +372 640 8921). The ride to the city centre takes 10 minutes and can cost between €5.00-7.00. A fare should be agreed with the driver before departure. In addition, it is recommended to avoid taxi drivers who offer their services unsolicited at the airport and car park.

Further information

Although there are issues that seem more than obvious, it is always advisable to take them into account when moving to or from the airport, and especially if we go by public transport.  1- To the airport - It is convenient to leave with a little more anticipation than what is commonly suggested. If you choose a taxi or a private car service, always take into account peak traffic times, demonstrations, strikes or events that may delay the journey to the airport from where you are. It is always good to be informed about what is happening. If you contract a shared transfer service, have a contact telephone number handy in case of any delay by the company. In these cases they usually already have a scheduled collection time. If you use public transport (collective, train) take into account the schedules (weekends and holidays tend to have less frequency), if you have to change and also how to board (if you need a card or paying the driver or motorist at the moment ). These are details that seem obvious, but it is advisable to know so as not to have surprises and suffer a delay that could cause complications. If you rent a car to get to the airport, check where to leave the vehicle. At some airports, there is an exclusive parking lot for rental cars.  2 -From the airport- Here it is a little less stressful since you don't have the pressure of missing your flight. In the worst case, you will arrive later at the place where you are going to stay or at the meeting point where you are trying to arrive. Once you leave the plane, look for your suitcase and finish with the arrival procedures that are required. Then, follow the directions for public transportation or ask the airport staff. It is very useful to find out in advance the schedules of the buses or trains in case you arrive late at night. Not all work 24 hours. The same goes for taxis. In case of using an Uber-type service, have the mobile application handy to contact the driver. On the other hand, if you booked a private transport service, it is likely that they will have a person waiting for you, identified with a sign. If you rent a car to go from the airport to your final destination, for greater peace of mind it is advisable to book it in advance. Rental counters are usually available in the arrivals hall.
