Two-Vehicle Border Service
This transfer uses two dedicated vehicles — one on each side of the border. Your first driver takes you to the border crossing, where you complete passport and customs formalities on foot. A second driver with a fresh vehicle is waiting on the other side to take you to your destination. This ensures full compliance with cross-border vehicle regulations and a seamless experience for you.
