Taxis
Bolt, Yandex Go and Maxim: what a ride across town costs and why you should not flag a car down.
checked in August 2026Three taxi apps work in Batumi and all three actually have cars: Bolt, Yandex Go and Maxim. A car arrives in three to five minutes, the price is known in advance, and you can pay by card or cash.
💰 What it costs
| Route | Through an app |
|---|---|
| Around the centre | 6–10 ₾ |
| Across the city | up to 18–20 ₾ |
| Airport → centre | 10–20 ₾ |
| Railway station (Makhinjauri) → centre | about 10 ₾ |
| To the Sarpi border | 20–30 ₾ |
🚕 The three apps
🟡 Yandex Go
Familiar to anyone arriving from Russia. Sometimes cheaper than Bolt at rush hour — keep both and compare.
Maxim
Often the cheapest, but there are fewer cars and longer waits. Useful when the others surge.
