Private Airport Transfers in Georgia
Georgia is one of the world's oldest civilisations and one of its most underrated destinations: the Caucasus mountains, 8,000 years of winemaking, ancient cave cities, and a capital that mixes Soviet-era grandeur with a lively modern food and arts scene. Arrive in Tbilisi for the old town and sulphur baths, head to Batumi for the Black Sea, or make for the mountains of Kazbegi, and a LocalsRide driver is waiting at arrivals with the fare already agreed.
Fares start at €10, set when you book. No meter, no hidden fees, no surge pricing.
Georgia's Main Airports
- Tbilisi International Airport (TBS): the country's main hub, 17 km from the capital, serving Europe, the Middle East and the CIS.
- Batumi International Airport (BUS): the Black Sea gateway, just 3 km from central Batumi.
- Kutaisi International Airport (KUT): the low-cost hub for western Georgia, 23 km from Kutaisi.
Why Book a Private Transfer in Georgia?
- The language barrier, handled: Georgian uses its own script and few local taxi drivers speak English, whereas your LocalsRide driver does and knows exactly where you are going.
- Price agreed upfront: no haggling with unmetered taxis outside arrivals and no surprise fares.
- Flight monitoring and 60 minutes of free wait: your driver tracks the flight and waits after landing at no extra charge.
- Long-distance routes covered: TBS to Kazbegi, TBS to the Gudauri ski resort, Batumi to Tbilisi and more, all at a price agreed beforehand.
- Meet and greet in arrivals: a driver with your name, not one of the touts competing outside.

Frequently asked questions
Are prices fixed for long-distance transfers in Georgia?
Yes. From a 17 km hop between TBS and central Tbilisi to the 360 km run from Batumi to Tbilisi, the price is agreed at booking and does not move. No meters, no negotiation, no surprises.
Do your drivers speak English in Georgia?
Yes. Every LocalsRide driver is vetted and English-speaking, which matters a great deal here, where local taxi drivers often speak only Georgian or Russian.
Can I book a transfer from TBS directly to Kazbegi?
Yes. TBS or central Tbilisi to Kazbegi, roughly 160 km and 3 hours 45 minutes, is one of our most popular Georgian routes. The drive along the Georgian Military Highway and past the Zhinvali reservoir is spectacular, and a morning departure gives you the best mountain light.
