Travel / Car rental and driving it abroad (outside EU, to Kaliningrad) [19]

Hello all,

I'm curious about rental companies in Gdansk. I'm flying to gdansk in a while and wondered if rented cars allow you to cross the border into Russia to Kaliningrad! Can anyone help me with getting a car rental agency who supplies that service?

Thank you!

Oh and I wondered if you need special papers (next to paspoort, international driverslicense and a visa) to cross the border with a (rented) car.

Thanks again!

Travel / Crossing Poland - Green Card Car Insurance for Kaliningrad, Russia [8]

Tris,

I want to cross the border to Russia at the same point you did but really wonder about the queues because I will have a flight to catch on my way back. Do you think the queues were there because it was the Summer period? Or will the queues be there whenever you want to cross the border? Did you have any troubles with your visa when crossing the border?

Thank you!

Thanks, it will be a real problem, because the websites I looked at so far wouldn't let me. Tonight I will start calling companies, maybe that works better! Any hints on companies? Maybe smaller companies will let rentals go outside EU.

I have indeed, but since we arrive at about 18.30 in the evening on saturday there is no way to catch a train or bus that evening. The busses don't ride on sunday so we would have to take the train at 8.35 which arrives at 15h in Kaliningrad. The bus back would be on tuesdays at 6.30, that would be OK. Since it's only for three days, we would have more kaliningrad-time when we rent a car. (but indeed our first idea was to go by train).

Or do you have other bus services tips that do leave on saturday evening (or sunday morning)?

It sounds like that would be really expensive:P My idea now is to take the train on sunday and the bus on tuesday to get back, but if we can get to kaliningrad by car for max 150-200euro's we would do that to get the extra day.

Update : we = two of us.
