Why choose a private transfer
A private transfer gives you more flexibility than a bus or a shared taxi — there's no fixed departure schedule and no strangers sharing your ride. If there's a viewpoint, historic site or local restaurant along the way, you can simply ask your driver to stop.
What to know before you travel
Travel times in Georgia vary with the season, traffic and road conditions — mountain routes can take longer in winter or bad weather, so the 3h 12m estimate is a guide rather than a guaranteed arrival time. Travelling with a lot of luggage, children or a larger group? Mention it when booking so we can arrange a vehicle with enough space.
Booking your transfer
Booking is simple — enter your travel date, pickup location and passenger details, plus anything that helps us prepare, such as your hotel name or luggage requirements. Booking in advance is especially useful for early departures and late arrivals, and it means your price and pickup details are confirmed before the trip.
Stops along the way
A private transfer can be more than point-to-point travel. You can ask your driver to stop at a viewpoint, village, church or other interesting spot along the route — just mention it when booking or discuss it with your driver, keeping in mind that extra stops add to the total travel time.
Try Georgian food on the way
If your route allows a stop, it's worth trying Georgian cuisine along the way — khinkali (dumplings filled with meat and broth), the regional varieties of khachapuri, and dishes like lobio, mtsvadi and pkhali are all worth tasting.
