Car Extract in Escape from Tarkov: Every V-Ex, Fee and Rules

A car extract, written V-Ex on the map, is a vehicle exit in Escape from Tarkov that costs roubles. Only PMCs can use it, it works once per raid and four players can ride (five on Shoreline and Lighthouse). Paying for the ride makes it popular after a raid in which the other exits look risky.

Numbers and the map list follow the official Escape from Tarkov wiki map pages, checked on 2 November 2026 against patch 1.3.0.

All vehicle extracts

Map	Name	Always available	Single use
Ground Zero	Police Cordon V-Ex	Yes	Yes
Customs	Dorms V-Ex	No	Yes
Interchange	Power Station V-Ex	No	Yes
Shoreline	Road to North V-Ex	Yes	Yes
Woods	Bridge V-Ex	No	Yes
Lighthouse	Road to Military Base V-Ex	No	Yes
Streets of Tarkov	Primorsky Ave Taxi V-Ex	No	Yes

Factory, Reserve, The Lab, The Labyrinth, Terminal and Icebreaker have no V-Ex on the wiki. Every row is PMC only with a fee "per player". The group limit is 4 players on five maps and 5 on Shoreline and Lighthouse, and every map except Customs notes border snipers beyond the vehicle. The wiki marks all seven as single use, so there is one departure per raid. Only Ground Zero and Shoreline are flagged as always available; on the other five maps the vehicle may be absent from a given raid.

The fee and Scav karma

The map pages show a fee of 5,000 roubles per player. The wiki notes that the amount depends on your Scav karma, and the Scavs page lists the car extract fee as one of the things karma changes. The wiki's own numbers do not agree everywhere: the quest pages for Burning Rubber and the retired quest Dangerous Road describe the default fee as 20,000 roubles. The changelog shows no fee change in the 1.x patches, so the figure shown in the game before departure is the one to trust: carry more than 5,000 and check the prompt. Using a car also raises karma: the wiki lists +0.2 for the first vehicle extraction on a map, with smaller gains for each later one there.

In patch 1.0.4.0 (27 March 2026) a bug that blocked payment when the roubles were split across several stacks was fixed. A group of four with a 5,000 rouble fee needs 20,000 roubles in total; if a run falls short, the shop lists Tarkov roubles.

Quests that use it

• Burning Rubber (Skier, Ground Zero, loyalty level 1): extract through Police Cordon V-Ex with the Survived or Run-Through status. The quest hands over 20,000 roubles to pay the driver and pays +3,000 experience and 450 euros.
• Dangerous Road (Therapist, Streets): extract through Primorsky Ave Taxi V-Ex. The wiki marks it as retired.

Mistakes to avoid

• Forgetting that the fee is charged per player, not per car.
• Waiting for a car that may never appear. Only Police Cordon and Road to North are always available.
• Running out of roubles after an expensive loadout.
• Ignoring the snipers: the road beyond the car is a border zone.
• Confusing it with the BTR Driver, which is a separate service that also depends on Scav karma.

Four on most maps. The wiki lists five for Road to North V-Ex on Shoreline and Road to Military Base V-Ex on Lighthouse.
