Local transport: drivers, day trips & transfers

Get around Ulaanbaatar and beyond with a local driver: by the hour or day in the city, on day trips to Terelj and the Chinggis Khaan statue, or between towns.

Car with driver in Ulaanbaatar

≈ $60–100 per day (est.)

A driver who knows the city and waits while you visit Gandan Monastery, the museums and markets. Easier than taxis for a full day of sightseeing.

Day trips from the city

≈ $70–130 per car (est.)

Terelj National Park, Turtle Rock, the Chinggis Khaan statue complex and Hustai National Park are all doable in a day with a driver.

Transfers between towns

A private car to Kharkhorin, Darkhan, Erdenet or other towns, one way or with the driver waiting for you. For longer trips see Rent a car.

Buses

Long-distance buses are the cheapest way between towns; see Buses for routes and tickets.

Short rides in the city

For quick rides use a taxi app; see Taxis & ride apps.

Good to know

Traffic

Ulaanbaatar traffic is heavy at rush hour; plan city sightseeing for the middle of the day.
