How do you pay for parking in Batumi?
Passes, where to pay and what happens if you don't.
Short answer
In Batumi, street parking is paid with a pass for a day, week, month or longer rather than by the hour. You can buy one at street payment terminals, at banks, via banking apps or on the Batumi Autotransport website, entering your plate number. Parking on marked spaces without a valid pass can result in a fine.
Why
- Parking in Batumi is managed by the municipal company Batumi Autotransport.
- The pass is linked to the plate number, so no ticket is needed behind the windscreen.
- Mall, airport and gated car parks are paid separately.
Details
In summer, spaces in the centre and by the sea are scarce, so it is easier to leave the car at your accommodation and walk or take taxis. Check current pass prices on the Batumi Autotransport website.
Tip
If you're in town for a few days, buy a pass for that period straight away; a fine for not paying costs more.
What may differ
Hotel, mall and private car parks have their own rates, and the city pass doesn't apply there.
