TL;DR

There's no dedicated carpool service in Batumi — travelers coordinate through Telegram travel chats, posting specific dates and routes (e.g., a trip to the Goderdzi plateau/Gomismta from Batumi or Ozurgeti).

Rather than booking a tour, travelers can arrange a trip with friends or acquaintances in Batumi who have a car.

One traveler posted a same-day request for carpool companions to the Goderdzi/Gomismta plateau, departing from either Batumi or Ozurgeti — this kind of ad-hoc request is typically posted directly in travel chats with the date and route.

For those with a 4x4, chat members recommend off-road routes around Batumi — mountain dirt roads toward Goderdzi, Machakhela, and Mtirala are popular offroad destinations.

When planning a Batumi trip in advance (e.g., for September), travelers often ask in chats whether there's a dedicated group for organizing shared car trips to sightseeing spots — usually it turns out there's no separate group and people just arrange it directly in the general travel chat.
