Bus: There are services to most cities and towns. One of the most modern and comfortable fleets of buses is operated by Autolux (tel: (44) 536 0055; website: www.autolux.com.ua). The company runs coaches to all the major cities and publishes its website in English.
Taxi: Hiring a driver for a long-distance journey is a realistic and affordable option.
Car hire: Self-drive hire cars are gradually becoming more available, with both local and international car hire operators renting cars in major towns.
Regulations: Speed limits are 60kph (37mph) in built-up areas, 90kph (55mph) in outside areas and 130kph (80mph) on the motorways. The DAI road police are very likely to stop foreign cars and ask for small bribes.
Documentation: An International Driving Permit is necessary.
