Travelling by Car in Kiev (Kyiv) Ukraine
Ukraine operates a zero tolerance policy on drink driving. The road infrastructure is improving, travel to and from the airports is pretty good.

Many taxi drivers do not speak English. Keep the name and address of your destination on a piece of paper to show your driver. And remember, taxi prices are negotiable so do not accept a fare if you think you are being ripped-off.
