The short answer: very little. Pärnu Airport is about 6-7 km from the city centre (6 km per Pärnu's tourist board, 7 km per the airport operator), making this one of the cheapest airport-to-city transfers you will encounter.
Bus 24
The cheapest option is bus No. 24, which runs between Pärnu Airport and Pärnu bus station. The fare is 3 EUR, paid to the driver on boarding (Visit Pärnu, the city's official tourist board). Check the timetable against your flight — this is a small airport and the service is not frequent.

Bolt
The Bolt app works in Pärnu. The fare is calculated by the app and shown before you accept, so you see the price up front — but it moves with demand and time of day, which is why we won't print a figure here. Check the app when you land.
Local taxi companies
Visit Pärnu puts a taxi ride at roughly 7-10 EUR. Estonia has no national maximum taxi tariff — every company sets its own prices and must display them — so the exact fare depends on who you call and whether a dispatch fee applies. Pärnu Taxi (1222), Electric Taxi (1918), Go Taxi (1200), Bristol Taxi (1700) and E-Taxi (1300) all serve the city. Confirm the price or the price list before you set off.

Longer journeys
If Pärnu is not your final stop:
- Pärnu to Tallinn (130 km): Transfer 100-150 EUR, or a coach from Pärnu bus station — check the operator for the fare
- Pärnu to Tartu (170 km): Transfer see the current price in our search
- Pärnu to Kuressaare/Saaremaa (via ferry): Transfer to Virtsu port ~60-80 EUR, then ferry — check the ferry operator for the crossing fare
- Pärnu to Haapsalu (100 km): Transfer see the current price in our search
Currency and payment
Estonia uses the euro. Bolt handles payment through the app (card or cash). Local taxis accept both cash and card in most cases, and the bus fare is paid to the driver. There is no ATM at the airport, so have some euros on you or a working card.
Bottom line
For the short ride into Pärnu, you are looking at 3 EUR on bus 24, roughly 7-10 EUR by taxi, or 15-25 EUR for a pre-booked transfer. This is one of those airports where transport cost is essentially a non-issue — the fare is negligible compared to what you will spend on your holiday in Pärnu.
When a private transfer from EPU is the right choice
- Three or more people: a 4-seat car to Pärnu City Center is from €72, about €18 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.
- Going to a specific address rather than the main station: the car goes to the door, so the public-transport fare is not the whole cost of the trip.
- Arriving tired or late: the driver waits at arrivals with your name, included for 60 minutes after landing.
