Transport in Mongolia
by Trekking Mongolia
Mongolia is a huge country and public transport, even in and around Ulaanbaatar, is very limited. There are regular bus services from Ulaanbaatar to the aimag (province) centres and back, but no public transport will bring you any further into the countryside or to worth seeing spots. Often organised transport is the only way to get where you want.
We offer following transport facilities:
2. Rent a car (in and around Ulaanbaatar)
3. Be picket up at the airport or railways station
1. Rent a jeep or minivan
You don't want to book a tour through a travel company, you want to enjoy the freedom to go wherever you want and to see what you want. Rent a vehicle and discover the natural and cultural wonders of Mongolia. For more details on how to travel at less costs, see or chapter "Budget Travel".
We offer following jeep and minivan rental prices:
-
Russian Military Jeep with driver: 65 Euro
-
Russian Military Jeep with driver and Fuel: 95 Euro
-

2. Rent a car (in and around Ulaanbaatar)
You want to explore Ulaanbaatar and its surroundings. The best way is to rent a car with driver for the day. Our prices are:
70 € per day per car, driver and fuel included.
3. Be picket up at the airport or railways station
After a long journey, you arrive tired at Ulaanbaatar's airport or railways station. You don't know the town and you want to be sure to get quickly and safely at your hotel or guest house.
The staff of "Mongolia Trekking" will be glad to come and pick you up at your arrival.
Prices are:
- 5 € per group (maximum 3 people) from Ulaanbaatar's railway station to any place in town.
- 20 € per group (maximum 3 people) from Ulaanbaatar's airport to any place in town.
4. Book a train or bus ticket (national and international)
Whether you need a national or international train ticket, the staff of "Mongolia Trekking" will be glad to arrange all your ticket orders.
To be sure to get a seat during summer time, international train tickets have to be booked a long time in advance!
