What to do before the queue
- Fill up in advance. The last kilometres are stop-and-go with the engine running, and fuel goes faster than you think.
- Water and snacks for everyone, with extra for children: you cannot leave the queue and get your place back.
- Some złoty in cash for the first fuel stop or toll section: card terminals do not always work.
- Power bank. Navigation and the queue app drain your phone quickly, and you need it at the checkpoint.
- Keep documents at hand, not in the boot: passport, driving licence, vehicle registration, Green Card, medical insurance; for someone else's car, a power of attorney.

Why do queue figures differ between sources?
The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine counts vehicles in front of the crossing on the Ukrainian side, the Polish Border Guard gives the approximate waiting time for entry to Ukraine on the Polish side, and the eCherha queue system only sees registered vehicles. These are different measures, so we show them separately, each with its update time.
Where the figures come from
Ukrainian side: the State Border Guard Service map, showing how many vehicles are waiting in front of the crossing and how fast they are processed. Polish side: Straż Graniczna, the approximate waiting time for entry to Ukraine, updated up to 8 times a day. These are different measures, so we do not add them up, and next to every figure we show when it was updated. «Usually» and the tables come from our own measurements over the last 8 weeks, and «how long you waited» comes from drivers' reports on this page.
