When traveling to Russia, particularly Moscow as the most popular destination, most tourists prefer to allow for all possibilities and think how they can get from the airport to their hotel or apartment beforehand. One of the best ways is to book a transfer online in advance, when you have time to choose the right taxi-company providing English-speaking drivers.
You can catch a taxi upon your arrival right at the airport, but you should always beware of riding an unlicensed taxi. Illegal taxi-drivers seem to be living at the airports trying to find a credulous tourist. Remember, that riding an unlicensed taxi may be dangerous, besides, the prices asked before and after the ride may vary greatly. Moscow airports also have got their own official taxi service, but they often cannot cope with demand and tourists have to wait for their taxi.
Booking a transfer online is especially convenient if you have a late flight, as you may feel sure you'll not get stuck in a traffic jam at night. The ride from the airport, no matter Domodedovo or Sheremetyevo, to your hotel usually takes 30-40 minutes, but during the daytime the situation on the roads is unpredictable.
Russia-IC recommends Kiwi transfer service and transfers from/to the airport. Here you can make a booking and choose the car you like including the class of the car, standard or business.
All cars are equipped with GPS, and are constantly checked, all drivers are licensed. Most cars are equipped with terminals, so you can pay taxi with credit card (American Express, Visa, Master Card etc.)
