Taxis
Taxis are numerous in Kiev. In the centre are many ranks and casual waiting spots for taxis and outside all clubs there are several waiting for business. Make sure you agree the fare before entering the car as taximen here are known for overcharging. It’s also possible to stretch out your arm and wave down a passing motorist who’ll more than likely be cheaper than a taxi. Again, agree the price in advance.

Public transport
Trains
Traveling by train in Ukraine is time consuming and not as comfortable as you might like. Cross country train schedules are “timed” so that the journey is an all-nighter allowing you sleep on your journey.
Trains are divided in to 3 classes, 1st class (2 beds in 1 cabin), coupe (4 beds in a cabin) and 3rd class (6 beds in an open compartment). If you bring your own toilet paper and plan well, then you can improve the experience. Tips: Bring food and drinks with you. Make sure you don’t travel 3rd class. Book a lower bed in 2nd class.
If there are 2 of you and you want to travel 1st class, then why not book all 4 beds in a 2nd class wagon. It adds up to half the price and the beds are the same size anyway.
You’ll be woken up a full hour before your destination.
Buses
Buses leave from the Train station and from the Central Coach Terminal
Moskovska ploshad 3, Kiev
It’s a really bad way to travel in Ukraine with journeys taking as long if not longer than the trains.
Car rentals
Kiev car rental
Car rental agencies have offices in both the Airport and downtown Kiev. You’ll need an international driving licence and credit card to rent a car.
