How do you call a taxi in Batumi, and get one from the airport?
The app, airport rides and tips.
Short answer
In Batumi it is easiest to book a taxi through the Bolt app: you can order rides across the city and to or from the airport, and cars come in several categories such as Economy, Bolt, Premium and XL. Check the fare in the app before you order. Street taxi drivers often quote higher prices, so agree the fare before getting in.
Why
- Fares in an app can differ when demand is high, for example in the evening, so check the price before ordering.
- Check the payment options in the app when you order.
- For Gonio and Sarpi, confirm the price in advance, as for any trip out of town.
Details
To use a taxi app you need a local SIM or mobile data. Save your accommodation address in Latin letters on your phone to help drivers find it.
Tip
Check the car's plate against the app and don't take taxis offering rides without a booking.
What may differ
Demand is higher in summer and on holidays, and cars can be scarce at rush hour.
