Private Airport Transfers in Batumi

Batumi is Georgia's Black Sea jewel — a city of palm-lined boulevards, Soviet mosaics, modern sculptural architecture and some of the warmest sea in the region. Batumi International Airport (BUS) is one of the most unusually situated airports in Europe, sitting just 3 km from the city centre and practically on the seafront. Despite the short distance, a private transfer with LocalsRide means you arrive at your hotel without the chaos of the small terminal's taxi area — fixed price, English-speaking driver, name in arrivals.

Transfers start from €10 — fixed price, confirmed at booking. No meter, no hidden fees, no surge pricing.

Why Batumi Is Worth the Transfer

Batumi Airport is small, busy in summer, and the taxi situation outside can be chaotic — particularly during peak Black Sea season when flights from Istanbul, Kyiv and European hubs all land within close intervals. With LocalsRide your driver is inside when you land, your price was fixed before you flew, and the short ride to your hotel is the most relaxed part of your arrival.
