Private Transfer Tbilisi - Batumi
Batumi awaits. We'll get you there with care.
Imagine this: you step out of Tbilisi airport, and a clean, cool car is already waiting for you. Inside – a bottle of water, a phone charger, and a friendly driver who speaks fluent English. Ahead lies 380 kilometres of road, but you barely notice it: smooth suspension, air conditioning, your favourite music playing softly in the background.
A stop in Kutaisi – to grab a coffee and breathe the air of ancient Colchis, where myths of the Golden Fleece were born. And in just 4.5 hours, you're stepping onto the Batumi boulevard, where palm trees sway and the waves of the Black Sea greet you with their eternal rhythm.
This isn't just a transfer. It's the beginning of your Georgian story.
Batumi is Georgia's vibrant Black Sea capital and summer hotspot, blending subtropical parks, modern architecture, and a bustling seaside boulevard.

Private Transfer vs Marshrutka vs Street Taxi
Three ways to reach Batumi from Tbilisi. Here's an honest comparison:
| Option | Price | Time | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marshrutka from Didube bus station | ~€10–12 | 5–6 hrs | Overcrowded, limited luggage, uncomfortable for long distance. Drops you at the central station, not your hotel. |
| Street taxi negotiated on the spot | €90–120 | 4.5–5 hrs | Unreliable — no fixed price, may ask for more mid-trip. Often old cars without air-conditioning. Driver may not speak English. |
| Elite Transfer private booked in advance | from €200 | ~4.5 hrs | Fixed price, modern vehicles with A/C, door-to-door service, English-speaking driver, free Wi-Fi, water, child seats, and flight tracking. |
For a stress-free journey to the Black Sea coast — especially with family or heavy luggage — a pre-booked private transfer is the clear winner.
