Using your own car on tourist and business trips is sometimes the best option for travelling. This paper aims to propose a complex methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the organization of different types of transportation of passengers’ motorcars.  The research includes five ways of transportation: diesel car, petrol car, transportation vehicles with motorcar transporting wagons, transportation by bus or train and by rent a car at the final destination. In the paper we have defined four groups of criteria (environmental, economic, technological and social) with sub criteria, which are used to evaluate the variants and have proposed two strategies for evaluating the criteria - “real” that corresponds to the current situation of transportation and “optimistic” focuses on environmental protection. A combination of multi-criteria methods has been employed to determine the weights of criteria and rank the alternatives types of transport. The results show that the criteria with the greatest impact for “optimistic” strategy are:carbon dioxide (13%), pollutant emissions (25%), operating costs (16%), ticket price (14%), the time spent travelling (10%) and safety.The results indicate that transport by motorail trains is the best means of transport, which is also environmentally friendly.
