I only have a short visit and I'm travelling on my own so I definitely want a car pick up, but it seems incredibly expensive! Am I paying too much? Thanks, Naomi

I e-mailed the hotel expressing my surprise at the price, and the concierge called me tonight very apologetic (apparently she had quoted for a different airport). The price is $130.00US, which I can live with. Thanks again, Naomi

Try contacting Elena Mikhaylova as she has arranged for my transfer travel in August a rate of about $50US. She'll even have her driver accept other "non ruble" forms of payment upon pickup at SVO. Here is her email: moscowguide@rambler.ru Her rate as a tour guide is quite reasonable as well. www.yourmoscowguide.com.

My girlfriend needed a taxi from SVO2 to SVO1 and at the end she only paid 350 RUB including the help of the taxidriver to get her luggage (4 suitcases/bags) into the terminal!! Happy travelling and don't forget to enjoy! Robert
