Urgench to Khiva by train or private transfer?

By train
There is no convenient public link from Urgench airport to Khiva. A local taxi is possible, but you will need to agree the fare on arrival.
By private car Door to door
A pre-booked transfer means a fixed price agreed in advance and a driver who knows where your hotel is — easy after a late or early flight.
