Service and stops on the Cologne – Poltava route

The KLR Bus carrier renews its fleet every year, so passengers travel on modern scheduled Beulas Jewel, Van Hool, Neoplan, and Setra buses with a full range of amenities:
  • Comfortable XXL seats with a distance of 80 cm — plenty of legroom and the backrest can be reclined;
  • Starlink on board — stable internet even after crossing the border;
  • 230V power sockets and USB ports near each seat;
  • working toilets and a smart air-conditioning system;
  • complimentary drinks and, upon request, child seats and a carrier for your pet.
A convenient transfer from small towns to our terminals in Lviv and Khmelnytskyi is organised — from there, passengers continue travelling abroad. On average, the bus stops every 2–3 hours. The exact number depends on the number of settlements along the way, and the full list of stops is available on the map above. The schedule on the Cologne – Poltava route takes into account the working and rest time regulations for drivers under the rules of the transit countries: a break is mandatory at least after 4.5 hours of continuous driving. Stops take place at specially equipped parking areas, bus stations, or petrol stations, where there is usually everything needed on the road: toilets, shops, as well as fast-food establishments such as McDonald’s. The routes are planned so that, after arriving in Poltava, you can quickly reach the main stations and comfortably continue your journey.

Documents and specifics of crossing the border

You will be able to cross the border if you have the following package of documents:
  1. a biometric international passport with a chip, the validity period of which must cover at least three months after the end of the trip;
  2. medical insurance — it can be arranged through the KLR contact centre;
  3. confirmation of the purpose of the visit: accommodation booking, an invitation, or a return ticket;
  4. for passengers under 16 years of age — an international passport together with a birth certificate. During martial law, the consent of the second parent may not be required; however, the final requirements are established by the border guard service, so it is still better to have such a document with you. Check the current rules before departure;
  5. a military registration document, either a paper version or the “Reserve+” application, containing up-to-date information — this requirement also applies to men aged 18–22.
To arrange insurance, you will need:
  1. The first page of the international passport. If you use “Diia”, prepare screenshots of the opened passport.
  2. A tax identification number, which is mandatory for adults but not for children. If there is no identification number, add the first and second pages of the Ukrainian passport, the page confirming refusal of a tax identification number, and photos of both sides of the ID card.
At customs control, the team usually works with two drivers. One hands over the package of documents for the bus and the permits to the customs officers, while the other coordinates the passengers: communicates the border guards’ instructions and explains which documents must be kept ready. At his instruction, or at the instruction of the border guards, passengers leave the bus for passport control. If something at customs does not go according to plan, the drivers will suggest the optimal solution.
