Travelling by Car in Kiev (Kyiv) Ukraine
Ukraine operates a zero tolerance policy on drink driving. The road infrastructure is improving, travel to and from the airports is pretty good. But try to avoid driving into urban areas as the roads can be in a very poor state of repair. Driving standards are not always great, there are a high number of road accidents so take care
Standards of Taxi's in Kiev (Kyiv) vary enormously. Most problems arise when catching a private taxi in the street and not agreeing a price beforehand. Always agree the price before you get into the taxi and walk away from taxi drivers who shout and intimidate.
Generally Taxi and car travel in Kiev (Kyiv) is very affordable, quick and reliable.
Many taxi drivers do not speak English. Keep the name and address of your destination on a piece of paper to show your driver. And remember, taxi prices are negotiable so do not accept a fare if you think you are being ripped-off.
