TL;DR
Easiest option is to arrange a taxi in advance directly with a driver or ask your hotel reception to call one for you; book the taxi about 20-30 minutes earlier than your actual departure time to have a buffer.
If you try to join a local carpool/ride-share service, your request sometimes needs admin approval which can take a while — if you need a ride urgently, it's more reliable to just call a regular taxi instead of waiting for approval.
The simplest way to get a taxi in Batumi is to arrange it directly with a driver in advance, or ask your hotel reception to call one for a specific time.
If your planned departure time is, say, 3:30 PM, it's better to call the taxi around 3:00 PM — this gives you a time buffer and lowers the risk of being late.
