How much is a taxi in Batumi, and how do you call one?
Apps, city fares and airport rides.
Short answer
In Batumi it's easiest to book a taxi through apps such as Bolt, which show the fare upfront; a city ride usually costs 5-10 GEL. From the airport to the centre it's about 15-20 GEL. Street taxi drivers often quote higher prices, so agree the fare before getting in.
Why
- Fares in apps rise in season and in the evening due to demand.
- You can pay by card in the app or in cash to the driver.
- Taxis to Gonio and Sarpi are often cheaper than expected, but confirm the price first.
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
App prices are higher in summer and on holidays, and cars can be scarce at rush hour.
