A 24/7 transfer in Estonia is a pre-booked private ride with a driver who is available at any hour, and who adjusts to your real flight, ferry or train time instead of a fixed timetable. You book it ahead, agree the price, and the driver meets you on arrival. That matters most when your plane lands at 2 a.m., your meeting ends late, or you are crossing the country with luggage, a group or a pet.
Below you will find what “24/7” should actually mean, how Tallinn Airport handles pickups, what our routes cost, and how to book without surprises.
TL;DR
- A real 24/7 transfer is pre-booked, tracks your flight and waits for you if you are delayed. Round-the-clock availability alone is not enough.
- Estonian law does not regulate taxi rates, so a fixed price agreed in advance is the safest way to avoid a surprise fare.
- At Solidride, Tallinn airport city transfers run from €33 per hour (Mercedes-Benz E-Class) to €70 per hour (S-Class). Intercity trips start at €170 (Tallinn to Hiiumaa).
- Give us your flight number, passenger count, luggage and any pets when you book, and we handle the rest.

What 24/7 should mean for a transfer
Many providers print “24/7” on their site. The useful question is what happens at 3 a.m. when you actually need them. A genuine round-the-clock service has four things in place:
- A driver who is awake and assigned. Not a call center that promises to find someone in the morning.
- Flight monitoring. The driver follows your flight number, so an early landing or a two-hour delay does not leave you standing at an empty arrivals hall.
- A confirmed price. The fare is agreed before the trip, not calculated on the meter after a night flight.
- A named meeting point. You know where the driver will be and how to recognize them.
We operate around the clock with real-time flight monitoring and a personal meet-and-greet, so late arrivals and early departures that public transport does not cover are part of normal work for us. If you mainly travel at night, our guide to booking an overnight airport transfer in Estonia goes deeper on that scenario.
Why pre-booking beats hailing at night
Tallinn Airport served 3.49 million passengers in 2025, the same level as the year before, and the airport expects 3.69 million in 2026. Statistics Estonia reports the same near-3.5-million total. Many of those flights land outside office hours, and every one of those passengers needs to get to town.
The airport’s own guidance explains the pricing risk. Taxi rates in Estonia are not set by law, so fares vary between providers, and the airport recommends its partner taxis at the rank in front of the terminal to avoid unexpected costs. Ride-hailing apps are also available there. Those are fine options for a short, unhurried trip with light luggage.
A pre-booked transfer solves different problems:
- Price certainty. You know the amount before you leave home.
- No waiting. The vehicle is assigned to you, not to the next person in the queue.
- Luggage and assistance. The driver helps with bags, which matters after a long-haul flight.
- Coordination. If you are organizing a visit for a client, executive or delegation, one booking replaces several phone calls.
How pickups work at Tallinn Airport
Tallinn Airport is about 4 km from the city centre, so the ride itself is short. The friction is in the details around it.
According to the airport, non-partner taxis are limited to the Kiss & Fly area inside the parking garage, not the main zone in front of the terminal. For a private transfer, this is why the meeting point is agreed in advance: we meet you in the arrivals hall, take your luggage and walk you to the car, so you do not drag bags through a parking structure.
If you are sending a larger vehicle, check the height. The main garage has a 2.4 meter height limit, and bigger vehicles such as minibuses must use the A2 long-stay lot. Tell us your group size at booking and we will plan the pickup point accordingly.
For guests who need help moving through the airport, the airport offers free assistance on request, arranged in advance with the airline and by phone at +372 605 8788. Passengers with reduced mobility can also get free parking for up to 2 hours in the multi-storey car park, provided the ticket is registered at the airport information desk before exiting. If you are arranging a transfer for such a guest, combine both: airport assistance inside the terminal, and our driver at the curb.

What a 24/7 transfer costs in Estonia
Our published prices are listed on the price list. Here are the figures as of today.
Tallinn airport city transfers
City transfers are charged per hour, and you choose the car:
| Vehicle | Price |
|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz E-Class | €33 per hour |
| Volvo S90 | €40 per hour |
| Mercedes-Benz V-Class | €45 per hour |
| Mercedes-Benz S-Class | €70 per hour |
The V-Class is the usual pick for families, groups of friends and travelers with a lot of luggage. The S-Class suits executives and VIP guests. The E-Class is the sensible choice for one or two passengers.
Intercity routes from Tallinn
| Route | Price |
|---|---|
| Tallinn to Hiiumaa | from €170 |
| Tallinn to Pärnu | from €190 |
| Tallinn to Saaremaa | from €210 |
| Tallinn to Tartu | from €270 |
| Tallinn to Narva | from €300 |
| Tallinn to Luhamaa | from €400 |
| Tallinn to Koidula | from €400 |
These are one-off prices per trip, and “from” means the final amount depends on the details of your booking. Luhamaa and Koidula are border crossings with Latvia and Russia respectively, which is why many clients ask about them for late-night or early-morning departures.
Wedding cars with a chauffeur start from €150. For the MB Sprinter, coach services, group travel and custom projects we give a personal quotation, since the price depends on the date, distance, duration and number of passengers.
Port and cruise transfers
If you are arriving by sea, port pickups follow the same logic: a driver tracking the ship and waiting at the agreed point. We cover the details in our guides to Tallinn port transfer prices and private transport for cruise passengers.
Who uses a round-the-clock transfer, and why
Business travelers and VIP guests
A delegation landing late needs a car, a driver who recognizes them and a known fare for the expense report. A Mercedes with a driver waiting with a name sign sets the tone before the first meeting. If you regularly hire drivers for clients, our article on hiring and vetting a professional driver service lists what to check.
Groups, teams and events
Groups are where the schedule gets complicated, with several flights, staggered arrivals and one venue. A single coordinated plan is more reliable than individual taxis. Read how a team airport pickup is organized, or how to build an event transportation plan. For larger parties, group airport transfers by coach show how minibus and coach options are structured for bigger numbers. We offer the MB Sprinter and coach services for these cases.
Travelers with pets
If you fly with an animal, the airport notes that pets are only allowed in the cabin if they fit in a suitable travel crate, within the carrier’s weight limit. After landing you will be managing a crate, luggage and a stressed animal. We offer a pet-friendly transfer service, so tell us the animal’s size when booking and we will prepare the vehicle.
Tourists
Visitors heading beyond Tallinn, for instance to Pärnu, Tartu or the islands, often find that public connections are sparse at night and on early mornings. A private ride from the airport straight to the destination removes the transfer in the middle.
Our perspective: what we have learned running 24/7
The most common mistake we see is treating a transfer as a last-minute detail. Travelers spend weeks on flights and hotels, then decide on the ride from the arrivals hall at midnight. That is exactly when prices are least predictable and choices are fewest.
What clients value most is not the car, although the Mercedes-Benz fleet matters. It is that nobody has to think. The driver already knows the flight number, is already in the hall, and has already dealt with the luggage. Flight monitoring is the backbone of this: if the plane is early we are early, and if it is late we are still there.
Our advice is simple. Book at least a day ahead when you can, send the flight number rather than just the arrival time, say honestly how many bags and people you have, and mention pets or mobility needs up front. Everything else we can fix on the day, but those details decide which vehicle we send.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Can I book a transfer in Estonia in the middle of the night?
Yes. We operate around the clock, so late and early flights, ferries and trains are part of normal operations. Book ahead with your flight number so the driver can follow the arrival time.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We monitor flights in real time, so the driver adjusts to your actual landing time. You do not need to call to reschedule. Send us the flight number when you book.
Is a pre-booked transfer more expensive than a taxi?
Not necessarily, and the price is known in advance. Estonia has no legally set taxi rates, so taxi fares can differ widely. Our city transfers start at €33 per hour and intercity routes from €170, depending on route and vehicle.
Can you take a pet or a large group?
Yes. We offer a pet-friendly transfer service, plus the MB Sprinter and coach services for groups. Group and custom trips are quoted individually, so send us the details.
