Getting to Uman is the easy half. Going home you are working against a desk that closes, on the same two days as everyone else who came for Rosh Hashana. This page is the seventeen routes out of Uman side by side, with how long each one really takes once check-in and the border are counted.

How long to allow, route by route

The allowance is the slow end of the drive plus three hours for check-in — never the average, because the two mistakes do not cost the same. The last column is worked in Uman's own clock for a 10:00 departure, which is why most of the western airports start the night before.

The queue going out is not the queue coming in

Traffic at a crossing is directional, and after Rosh Hashana it runs one way. A crossing that waved you through on the way in can be the slow one on the way out, so the table of live waits is worth a look the morning you leave rather than the memory of the journey down.

Everyone leaves inside the same two days

Which makes the ride home the easiest one of the year to share: the airport is the same, the day is the same, and the flights are usually a few hours apart. Tell us the flight and we look for somebody going your way.

Frequent questions about the journey home

How early should the driver collect me?
We work back from your flight: the drive at its slow end, plus three hours for check-in. Send us the flight number when you book the return and we set the pickup time for you — you do not have to do this arithmetic yourself.
Everyone leaves Uman on the same day. Can you still take me?
Yes, but book the return early. The two days after the festival are the busiest of our year, and cars going out are scarcer than cars coming in. Tell us your flight as soon as you have it, even if the date is still weeks away.
What happens if the border queue is long on the way out?
The allowance above already assumes a slow crossing. Check the live outbound queue before you leave and tell your driver what you see — if it is unusually bad, we bring the pickup forward or route you to a different crossing.
Can several of us share the car back?
Yes. A shared return costs each passenger a fraction of a private car, and after Rosh Hashana there are plenty of people leaving on similar flights. Ask about a shared ride when you book.
Do you pick up from anywhere in Uman?
Anywhere in the city, including Pushkina Street and the streets around the tziyun. Give us the address when you book and the driver will be there — being collected at your door matters more on the way out than on the way in.
