Get around with local ride-hailing apps, curated for travelers visiting Georgia.
Uber does not operate in Georgia. Bolt is the easiest first download for visitors and officially lists service in Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi, Gori, Poti, Telavi, Zugdidi, Bakuriani and the Gudauri and Stepantsminda area.
Visitor-friendly ride booking in Georgia's main cities, airports and several mountain resort areas.
Optional ride app for comparing price and nearby vehicle supply in Tbilisi and other supported Georgian cities.
Coverage does not guarantee a nearby driver, especially in resort areas, late at night or outside a city. Yandex Go is the useful price and wait-time comparison in supported locations and can be cheaper, but some travelers prefer not to use it because of its ownership or data-handling concerns. Both services show an app estimate and support cash or card in relevant markets, although foreign-card processing can fail. Keep lari as a fallback and compare the live total rather than assuming one service is always cheaper.
At Tbilisi, Kutaisi and Batumi airports, order only through the official app or use the official taxi arrangement. Ignore people soliciting rides inside or outside the terminal, and reject any fake app screen, unrecorded fare or request to cancel and pay off-platform. Match the driver, plate and vehicle before entering, use the in-app pickup pin and share the trip when helpful. Recent local reports describe drivers waiting at the wrong point, starting a waiting timer or asking passengers to walk to an easier pickup.
Correct the pin before confirming and use in-app support if the recorded trip does not match what occurred. For a critical early flight, rural destination or mountain route, arrange a licensed transfer or guesthouse driver in advance and confirm the complete price, vehicle and return plan.
