Almaty railway station transfer by minibus
A transfer from Almaty railway station with AlaGo is a 13-seat Toyota Hiace minibus with a driver. We meet you off the train, help with your luggage and take the whole group to your address in one vehicle. While you walk from the platform, the driver is already waiting at the exit.
Meeting at Almaty-1 and Almaty-2 stations
Almaty has two railway stations, and we work with both. Almaty-2 station is closer to the city center and handles most passenger trains. Almaty-1 station is in the northern part of the city and also serves long-distance trains. When you book, just tell us where your train arrives. The driver will come to that very station.
How the station pickup works
The driver arrives early and meets you with a name sign at the platform exit or at an agreed station exit. He’ll help carry your suitcases and bags to the minibus, stow the luggage in a separate compartment and drive you to your address. We stay in touch on WhatsApp and move the pickup to the train’s actual arrival. If the train is late, the driver will wait for you, with no extra charge for reasonable waiting.
Who a station transfer suits
A minibus pays off especially when there are many people and a lot of luggage. One Toyota Hiace replaces three or four taxis, and the whole group rides together:
- Large families with children and bulky luggage
- Tourist groups who came by train for a vacation or sightseeing
- Sports teams and performing groups with their equipment
- Delegations and corporate guests who need to be met in an organized way
What a railway station transfer costs
The price is fixed and covers the whole minibus: split it across your group. The guide price within the city is from 20,000 ₸, and we quote the exact amount for your address. There’s no meter and no surcharge for traffic jams, so you know the amount in advance. An airport transfer is from 25,000 ₸, and reference prices for other trips are on the prices and rates page.
How to book a transfer from an Almaty railway station
The easiest way to book a railway station transfer is on WhatsApp or by phone at +7 707 510 17 05: the station, the date, your train’s arrival time and the number of passengers. That’s enough for us to quote the price. We work around the clock, including weekends and holidays.
If you need a trip further on, we drive intercity (to Lake Balkhash, Lake Alakol, Chundzha and other destinations) and also offer minibus hire with a driver for any period. If a group needs to be met in an organized way and under a contract, see our minibus for a corporate event.
