Book your transfer
Travel directly from Helsinki Airport (HEL) to Turku in a private, pre-booked car with an English-speaking driver. Your driver tracks your flight, meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, and takes you straight to your hotel or address in Turku — no taxi queue, no meter running in traffic, and a price that is fixed the moment you book. We have been driving international travellers across Finland since 2008.

Why pre-book a private transfer
A fixed price, not a running meter. A metered taxi from Helsinki Airport to Turku is unpredictable — you never know which car will turn up, the fare keeps climbing in traffic and at red lights, and a 170 km ride can easily run very high with no price certainty until you arrive. With us you see the full price before you book and pay exactly that, whatever the traffic.
Door-to-door, with your luggage. Reaching Turku by public transport means a train or bus from Helsinki city centre — but first you have to get from the airport into Helsinki, then change, then find a local taxi at the other end, all while handling your bags. A private transfer skips every change: one car, from the arrivals hall straight to your door in Turku.
A driver who waits for you. We track your flight in real time. If you land late, your driver is still there — with up to 60 minutes of free waiting time from the moment you land and a name sign in the arrivals hall.
The journey
The drive from Helsinki Airport to Turku is about 170 km and takes roughly two hours, almost entirely on the E18 motorway that links Finland's two oldest cities along the south-west coast. It is a smooth, modern road the whole way, and a comfortable car makes the distance easy — especially in winter, when daylight is short. You travel in a clean, modern car with a professional local driver who knows the route in every season.
We are a pre-booked service (book at least 24 hours ahead). After booking you receive an email confirmation with your booking reference and your driver's meeting instructions.
About Turku
Turku stands at the mouth of the Aura river on Finland's south-west coast, about 170 km from Helsinki. It is the oldest city in the country and was its capital until 1812, and that long history is written into everything from its medieval castle to its great riverside cathedral.
Turku Castle, founded in the late 13th century at the harbour, is one of the largest surviving medieval buildings in Finland and now a museum. At the other end of the city, Turku Cathedral — the mother church of Finnish Lutheranism — rises over the river and the old market square. Between them the river Aura is the heart of the city: lined with cafés, museum ships and restaurant boats, and crossed by the small Föri ferry that has carried people from bank to bank for over a century.
Turku was a European Capital of Culture and keeps a lively arts and student scene, with the riverside coming alive in summer. It is also the gateway to the Archipelago Sea and its thousands of islands, and to nearby Naantali with the Moomin World theme park — popular with families arriving through Helsinki.
Whether you are arriving for the castle and cathedral, a river cruise, the archipelago, a cruise ferry to Stockholm, or a business visit, we will get you there straight from the terminal.
Travelling for an event?
Turku's calendar fills the city — and these are the dates when local taxis are scarce and pre-booking pays off. The summer brings the Ruisrock festival (one of Europe's oldest), Down by the Laituri and a packed riverside season; the Medieval Market turns the old quarter back in time each summer; and the Christmas season opens with the Declaration of Christmas Peace, broadcast nationwide from the city. If you are flying in for a festival, a ferry, or a seasonal weekend, book your transfer early so your driver is confirmed.
