Marked municipal parking in Batumi is commonly treated as about 1 GEL per day. If a payment terminal takes 5 GEL, it usually means you prepaid several days rather than losing the money; payment can be made online or at the orange self-service terminals.
If you use cash at a self-service terminal, select the cash payment option and keep the receipt. In Batumi, these terminal payments and taxi fares are normally handled in GEL.
If the issue is a traffic or parking violation rather than regular parking, nobody may ask for it when you leave. In that case, you need the specific payment number or reference used to pay that fine.
