Anyone know the price for a taxi from city center to the airport? I'm talking about if I call for a taxi by phone. What would be the average price?

You can prebook a taxi from this site for Piter and it is the best deal you are going to get if you do not know any Russian and look like you do not belong.

You will not need to call for a taxi, because there will be 30 "Vor" lined up to over charge you.
Prebook from here or the hotel will help you.

It depends on the city district. If you're booking a taxi the price would be in approx 500-1500.

My Russian is good enough to deal with taxi people. I was given a number to a taxi company 333-3233. Anyone know of this company?

And what district is the city center near Vladimirskaya metro station? Is that near the 500 or 1500 price range??

Vladimirskaya is in the center (you could see that on map http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Russia,+St.-Petersburg+Vladimirskiy&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=55.937499,135.263672&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr), so it'll be like 1000 rubles.
Taxi service you wrote about is good - I rode it a few times.

Hello, I will visit St. Petersburg in a couple days. I looked at this site for airport transfers, but it says it is disabled. The year for transfers end in 2006. Can you help me please? My Russian is limited. Is there a taxi company you recommend? I will need to go from Pulkovo 2 to Nevsky Grand Hotel.

Thank You

try these:
www.autoarendaspb.ru/index-eng.html
www.dailyexpress.ru/taxi-st-petersburg-russia.php

I do not know whether these are good and/or reliable - I've just found them Smile
In the worst case you'll be able to take a taxi from Pulkovo-2 itself - there's a taxi office to the left of the exit from the luggage retrieval room.
Though last time I used their services it was TWICE more expansive. But at least they are surely speaking English there.

One more variant you can try is to book a transfer from your hotel. I'm sure Nevskiy Grand Hotel has such service.
