For many travellers, Palanga is the final destination of a holiday or weekend by the Baltic Sea. A private transfer makes the arrival simple: you leave from the agreed place in Kaunas and stay in the same vehicle until you reach your accommodation in Palanga. There is no need to move luggage between stations or arrange a second ride after reaching the coast.

The drive is approximately 240 km and normally takes around 2 hr 30 min. The route usually follows the A1 west from Kaunas towards Klaipėda and then continues north towards Palanga. Summer weekends, holiday periods and traffic near the coast can increase journey time, but normal traffic delays do not change a fare that has already been confirmed.

To arrange the journey, please send:

  • your travel date and preferred departure time;
  • the pickup address in Kaunas or your Kaunas Airport flight details;
  • the hotel, apartment, guest house or other destination in Palanga;
  • the number of passengers;
  • whether a child seat is required;
  • the number of large suitcases and smaller bags;
  • any timing requirements connected with check-in, an event or onward travel.

For summer journeys, booking in advance is particularly helpful because traffic and accommodation check-in times can make same-day planning less convenient. Once the route is agreed, you know the pickup point, departure time and fare before the trip begins.

Drop-off can be arranged at a hotel, apartment, guest house, private address, spa, event venue or another accessible location in Palanga. The standard service uses a Mercedes-Benz Comfort Class saloon for up to four passengers.

Kaunas Airport to Palanga: private transfer or public transport?

Palanga has no railway station, so train travel requires an onward connection. A private transfer keeps the journey in one vehicle from the airport to your accommodation.

Option Total journey time Price for 1 person Price for 4 people Journey setup
Private transfer ~2 hr 40 min. 199 € 199 € (~€50 per person) Meet at Kaunas Airport → luggage loaded → direct drive to your hotel, apartment or other address in Palanga.
Train ~4 hr 30 min. or more ~20–25 € ~80–100 € City bus from Kaunas Airport to Kaunas railway station → waiting → train towards the coast → onward bus or taxi connection to Palanga.
Buses ~4 hr 30 min. or more ~20–25 € ~80–100 € Bus from Kaunas Airport into Kaunas → waiting at the bus station → intercity bus to Palanga → walk or local ride to your final address if needed.
Rental car ~3 hr total ~45–80 € ~45–80 € Reserve → collect the car → drive to Palanga yourself → refuel as required → arrange parking at your accommodation or near the resort centre. (Returning a rental car in a different city is not always possible. Where this option is available, an additional one-way fee of €35–115 or more may apply, depending on the route and rental company.)

The €199 private transfer fare is for the whole car, so a group of four pays about €50 per person.

Public-transport times and prices are indicative and vary by timetable, season and connections. Transfer time depends on the exact pickup point, destination and traffic.

What to do in Palanga

Palanga is Lithuania's best-known seaside resort, with a long sandy beach, a lively pedestrian centre and green spaces close to the coast. A first visit often includes J. Basanavičiaus Street, the sea pier and Palanga Beach, while the quieter southern part of the resort is home to Palanga Botanical Park, Birutė Hill and the Palanga Amber Museum.

A private transfer from Kaunas to Palanga lets you begin the seaside stay at the place that matters most: your accommodation. The driver can collect you from Kaunas Airport or another agreed address and take you directly to a hotel, apartment, guest house, spa or private address in Palanga. The approximately 240 km journey normally takes around 2 hr 30 min.

This is particularly useful during the summer season, when luggage, busy public transport and traffic around the resort can make connections less convenient. With the drop-off arranged in advance, you can go straight to check-in or begin your visit close to the beach and town centre.

  • Walk along J. Basanavičiaus Street
  • Visit Palanga Pier
  • Relax on Palanga Beach
  • Explore Palanga Botanical Park
  • Visit the Palanga Amber Museum
  • Walk up Birutė Hill
  • See the Church of the Assumption
