How much is a taxi in Kutaisi, and how do you call one?
Apps, city rides and airport trips.
Short answer
In Kutaisi it's easiest to book a taxi through apps such as Bolt, which show the fare upfront, and city rides are inexpensive. The airport is about 20 kilometres from the centre, 20-30 minutes away, and costs noticeably more than a city ride. Street drivers often quote higher prices, so agree the fare before getting in.
Why
- You need mobile data or a local SIM for the app.
- For caves and canyons, a taxi with waiting time is convenient; agree the price first.
- Fewer cars are available at night, especially near the airport.
Details
If you land at night, book a transfer in advance. Save your address in Latin letters to help the driver.
Tip
For trips to canyons and caves, agree a price with waiting time with the driver; it's cheaper than two separate rides.
What may differ
Few app cars are available for night arrivals, so book a transfer in advance.
