Taxi & transfers in Georgia from airports and neighboring countries
Every year more and more tourists come to Georgia (not counting the pandemic). Most people arrive in the country by air through its 3 international airports:
- Tbilisi (TBS) named after Shota Rustaveli, which is 15 km away. from the center of the capital;
- Kutaisi (KUT), named after Dawaid Agmashenebeli, is located 36 km away. from Kutaisi;
- Batumi (BUS) is conveniently located just 2 km. from Batumi.
Prices for air travel here are quite flexible and very dependent on seasonality: in the summer and on New Year's holidays they rise. For example, for Russian citizens it is cheaper to fly to Vladikavkaz or Mineralnye Vody, and from there take a transfer to Georgia to the desired resort. People also come to this country on holiday by road from Turkey and Armenia.
Considering the remoteness of the country's airports from resort areas, as well as the presence of overland tourist traffic from neighboring countries, intercity taxi or transfer is a fairly popular service in Georgia. Of course, this country is no exception, and if you take a taxi on the spot upon arrival, there is a big risk of overpaying. Public transport runs, but it’s better and smarter to start your vacation by ordering an individual trip at a fixed price directly to the door of your hotel or apartment. Transfer to Tbilisi is in greatest demand.
You need to be careful when hiring a taxi in Georgia: there are frequent cases of money scams, the driver smoking in the cabin, dangerous/risky driving, saving on air conditioning and other troubles
If you need to get to point B within one locality, then, of course, it is better to order a taxi through an app or by phone, but be sure to check the final price before going. If you need an intercity trip or a full-day tour, the best option would be to order an individual transfer and here's why:
- very economical. The specificity of the region is that long-distance trips are more profitable than network taxis, sightseeing tours and even car rental. In the latter case, you must not forget about fuel costs, possible insurance and paid parking. You can easily check this by ordering a transfer here or in the car rental section in Georgia without a driver or with a driver;
- comfortable. While driving, you can stop at the places you like as many times as you like and completely free of charge! You don't need to be distracted by the road, delve into the route and worry about parking your car. Your driver will provide some minimum information to understand the attractions being visited. Of course, for trips to historical places you need a guide and a full-fledged excursion to get the full picture, but for contemplating simply natural features this is enough;
- practical. Not all places in the country and beyond are allowed to travel in a rented car, but with a driver-transfer there are no barriers for you. In addition, you will not get lost and will not worry about the condition of the car when driving on bad roads.
For the convenience of guests of the country, you can order a taxi on our portal by car, minivan or bus. Also from Vladikavkaz or Mineralnye Vody, in addition to individual transfers, a group (team) transfer is organized with payment per seat.
