How do you get a taxi from Batumi Airport at night, and how much does it cost to reach central Batumi?

Besides Yandex Go, you can also order a taxi from the airport via Bolt or Maxim apps — cash payment is available in all of them.

If you don't have cash on hand, you can ask the taxi driver to stop by a currency exchange office on the way instead of heading straight into the city.

One traveler reported that airport Wi-Fi worked fine and they ordered a Yandex taxi directly without needing a hotspot. There's also a 24/7 currency exchange at the airport with a rate around 26 (worse than ~31 in the city), useful for exchanging just enough cash for the taxi.

As an alternative to taxis, travelers suggest searching Telegram for ride-share/carpool groups using terms like 'Georgia carpool' or 'Batumi rideshare' to arrange transfers.

Yandex Go was mentioned as a workable late-night airport option, with an evening ride to the Alphabet Tower area costing about 10 GEL.

If you land at night, you need internet access to book in the app: travelers discussed using a hotspot from another phone before ordering a Yandex taxi from the airport.

Travelers were unsure whether a late-night app taxi would always accept a card-paid booking, so it’s wise to keep some cash as a backup for the airport transfer.
