Airport Transportation in Tallinn

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Airport transportation in Tallinn takes you from Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport to hotels and apartments in the Old Town and the Rotermann Quarter, to the Old City Harbour ferry terminals, to Kadriorg, Kalamaja and Pirita, and on to Pärnu and Tartu.

Tallinn Airport Transfers

Our Tallinn airport transfers start in the Arrivals hall of the passenger terminal, where your driver meets you after baggage claim and customs and walks with you to the car outside. Every flight uses the same terminal, and we track your flight so the pickup follows your real landing time.

Enter your hotel or address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route, from sedans and SUVs to minivans and minibuses for groups, priced per vehicle before you pay. Each Tallinn airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying in the Old Town, near the harbor or in Kadriorg, and unlike a taxi line at the curb, your car is already arranged when you land.

Tallinn Airport Shuttle

Our Tallinn airport shuttle is a private minivan or minibus for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through the Arrivals hall and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases, strollers and winter gear, so it suits families, business teams and groups arriving together.

Landing at Tallinn Airport

Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (TLL) is the airport of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, on the eastern shore of Lake Ülemiste southeast of the city, and one of the home bases of airBaltic. All passenger flights use one terminal, with separate Schengen and non-Schengen gate areas.

If you arrive from a Schengen country, there is no passport control and you walk straight to baggage claim. Flights from outside the Schengen Area go through passport control, where non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System and eligible EU and Schengen citizens can use e-gates. Collect your bags, pass customs and continue into the Arrivals hall.

Tallinn is on Eastern European Time (UTC+2), moving to UTC+3 from late March to late October.

Entry requirements and local notes

Schengen entry. Estonia is in the Schengen Area. Check whether your nationality needs a Schengen visa, and carry a passport valid for at least three months after you plan to leave the Schengen Area and issued within the last ten years.

Entry/Exit System. Non-EU travelers on short stays are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) on arrival from outside Schengen, with a facial image and fingerprints.

Customs. Arrivals from outside the EU are subject to EU customs limits on alcohol, tobacco and cash, and the Tax and Customs Board makes random checks. Check the limits before you fly.

Taxi pickup zones. Partner taxis wait in front of the terminal; taxis from other companies may only stop in the Kiss&Fly area of the parking house.

Euro. Estonia uses the euro, and cards and contactless payments are widely accepted.

Tallinn Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Tallinn Airport?

Your driver meets you in the Arrivals hall of the passenger terminal, after baggage claim and customs, and walks with you to the car outside. Every flight uses the same terminal, so all travelers come out into the same hall. Check the company name in your confirmation before you get in, and keep your phone on so the driver can reach you.

How far is Tallinn Airport from the city center?

Tallinn Airport is about 4 to 5 km southeast of the city center, on the shore of Lake Ülemiste. The drive to the Old Town or the city center usually takes 15 to 20 minutes, a little longer at weekday rush hours. The Old City Harbour, the Rotermann Quarter and Kadriorg are all a short ride across town.

Can you take me to a hotel in Tallinn Old Town?

Yes. We drive you to hotels, apartments and guesthouses in and around the Old Town, the Rotermann Quarter and the city center. Parts of the Old Town have narrow, cobbled streets with limited car access, so give us the full address or hotel name when you book and your driver will take you to the nearest point the car can reach.

Can you take me to the ferry terminals at the Old City Harbour?

Yes. If you are continuing by ferry to Helsinki or Stockholm, we can drive you from the airport to the Old City Harbour. Tell us your ferry company and departure time when you book, so your driver takes you to the right terminal building with time to check in.

Can you take me to Pärnu, Tartu or Riga?

Pärnu and Tartu are a longer drive from the airport, and Riga is across the border in Latvia. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay. If it does not, share the address when you book and we'll confirm.

Can you take me to Kadriorg, Pirita or Ülemiste City?

Yes. We drive door to door to hotels, homes and offices in Kadriorg, along the coast in Pirita, in Kalamaja and Telliskivi, and in the Ülemiste City business district next to the airport. Give us the full address, building name and any entrance details when you book, so your driver goes straight to the right door.

Is Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport the same as Tallinn Airport?

Yes. Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport is the official name of Tallinn Airport (TLL), the main airport of Estonia, named after the former Estonian president in 2009. It was earlier called Tallinn Ülemiste Airport. If your ticket shows the code TLL, this is the airport where your driver meets you.

Can you pick me up for a late-night or early-morning flight?

Yes. Book with your flight number and scheduled arrival time, whatever the hour, and your pickup is arranged around it. This helps when you land after the last tram or before public transport starts. For a departure, give us your flight time so the pickup leaves enough time for check-in and security.

What happens if my flight to Tallinn is delayed?

We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled or diverted, tell customer service as soon as you can so we can move your pickup to the new time.

Can I book a ride back to Tallinn Airport?

Yes. Book a return from your hotel, apartment or the ferry harbor to Tallinn Airport and give us your flight time, so your pickup leaves enough time for check-in and security. You can book it as a one-way departure or together with your arrival as a round trip.

Do I go through passport control when I land in Tallinn?

Only on flights from outside the Schengen Area, such as from the United Kingdom, Turkey or Egypt. Flights from Schengen countries arrive without passport control. Non-EU travelers on short stays are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) with a photo and fingerprints, which can add time before you reach your driver.

What time zone is Tallinn in?

Tallinn is on Eastern European Time, UTC+2, in winter and moves to UTC+3 from late March to late October. That is one hour ahead of Central European cities such as Berlin or Stockholm, so check that your pickup time is in local Tallinn time. Estonia uses the euro.

Where can I find more about Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport?
