Tbilisi airport → your hotel: all options and prices

Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is about 17 km from the city centre. Here is how to get to your hotel quickly, safely and without overpaying.

Quick answer: with family and luggage, book a private transfer or use the Bolt app (no Uber in Georgia). App rides usually cost about 15–40 GEL, official taxis about 30–60 GEL. Bus 337 costs just 1 GEL but is slow and not ideal with bags. Ignore drivers who approach you inside the terminal.

1. Private transfer: easiest with kids

Your driver waits in arrivals and takes you straight to the hotel, at a price fixed in advance. It is the calmest option for a late-night landing or a first trip to Georgia.

2. Bolt or Yandex Go: cheap and simple

Uber does not operate in Georgia. Use Bolt or Yandex Go: you see the price before the ride, usually about 15–40 GEL to the centre. Choose an XL car if you have a lot of luggage. Prices can rise at rush hour or in bad weather.

3. Taxi: use the official rank only

⚠️ Drivers sometimes approach travellers inside the terminal with inflated prices. Use the official taxi rank or the airport taxi desk, where prices are fixed, or book through an app.

4. Bus 337: 1 GEL

Bus 337 (formerly 37) runs from in front of arrivals to the city centre and the central railway station, about every 15–20 minutes, roughly 7 am to 11 pm. Cheap, but slow, with many stops: not ideal with suitcases or children.

Before you land

Install a Georgia eSIM at home so you can call your driver or order a Bolt the moment you land.
