Full Description
Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Borjomi is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Tbilisi Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
How far is Borjomi from Tbilisi Airport?
The distance from Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi is about 180 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 2 hours 55 minutes. Journey time depends on the time of day: early mornings and late evenings are quickest, weekday rush hours and holiday weekends add time. Because the Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi transfer price is fixed in advance, a slow drive never costs you more, which is the first difference from an airport taxi on the meter.
The fastest road route runs via the ს 1 and ს 8, and your driver adjusts it on the day for traffic and roadworks.
The route follows the E60 highway west to Khashuri, then turns south into the forested Borjomi gorge along the river.
For planning, count on 2 hours 55 minutes plus the time to collect your luggage and clear passport control at Tbilisi Airport; up to 60 minutes of waiting (90 at some airports) is included.
Arriving at Tbilisi Airport (TBS)
Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is about 17 km east of the old town along the Kakheti highway, a single terminal that many night flights from the Gulf arrive at in the small hours.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Tbilisi Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "TBS to Borjomi" or "TBS airport transfer" land here for a reason: TBS is the airport code for Tbilisi Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Borjomi.
Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi, door to door. Route: about 180 km, around 2 hours 55 minutes depending on traffic. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Tbilisi Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi?
An airport taxi from Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Borjomi involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Borjomi, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport to Borjomi: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Tbilisi Airport runs mainly into Tbilisi itself: bus 337 links the airport with the city centre and a railway shuttle runs a few times a day; both work for a light traveller, but a hotel in the old town's steep lanes is far easier reached by car, especially on arrival at night. Reaching Borjomi from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Borjomi once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Borjomi
Borjomi is a spa town in a forested gorge of the Mtkvari river, about 160 km west of Tbilisi. Borjomi is famous across the former Soviet world for its naturally carbonated mineral water, which visitors can taste straight from the springs in the Central Park. The town was a favourite retreat of the Russian royal family, and the Romanov summer palace at Likani stands on the river just outside town. A cable car climbs from the park to a plateau with views over the valley, and the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park offers some of the best hiking in the Caucasus. The drive from Tbilisi follows the main highway west before turning into the green, steep-sided gorge.
Things to do in Borjomi
Once you have checked in, Borjomi is worth exploring: Mineral water springs in Central Park, Borjomi Central Park and cable car, Likani Romanov palace, Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park and The narrow-gauge railway to Bakuriani. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.
Tbilisi itself is within reach for a day: Narikala Fortress and the cable car, the Abanotubani sulphur baths and the Bridge of Peace - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Borjomi
Where you stay in Borjomi makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Near Central Park, Along the Mtkvari river and Likani on the edge of town - and any other address is fine too.
The town stretches along the river, so give your driver the exact hotel name; the parks are best visited early in the day before crowds arrive.
Meeting your driver at Tbilisi Airport
Every airport is laid out differently, and Tbilisi Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Tbilisi Airport to Borjomi transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Tbilisi Airport.
Our vehicles for the Borjomi transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
All vehicles are insured and driven by professional, licensed drivers who know the Borjomi road. Child seats are provided on request, and there is no extra charge for reasonable luggage.
Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Borjomi and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.
Who books the Borjomi transfer
Who uses a private transfer to Borjomi? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Borjomi and the ride back to Tbilisi Airport are arranged in the same conversation.
How to book your Borjomi transfer
To book the Borjomi transfer, send us your flight details, your date, how many are travelling and where you are staying in Borjomi - through the form here or straight on WhatsApp. We confirm the fixed price and the meeting arrangement in writing within minutes, and the same chat stays open for any change of plan before or during your trip.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at Tbilisi Airport
Many guests continue to Gudauri, Kazbegi, Kakheti or Batumi - ask when you book, because the same desk arranges the onward drive with a mountain-experienced driver.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Tbilisi Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.
Let us know the driver language you would prefer; it depends on the country, the city and the hour, so we cannot promise it, but we do our best to match it and the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.
Borjomi to Tbilisi Airport: the return transfer
Heading back to Tbilisi Airport at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Borjomi; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.
The Borjomi to Tbilisi Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Borjomi transfers
What guests tell us they value about the Borjomi transfer is the absence of surprises. The price they were quoted is the price they pay. The driver is where the confirmation said. The car is clean and the right size. And the WhatsApp desk that made the booking is still there, in Arabic and English, for the whole trip - for the return, a day out, or a question about Borjomi at any hour.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Per person, yes for most groups: the transfer is priced for the vehicle, so a couple pays about what a taxi would and a family pays less, with no meter, no night tariff and no surprise at the door.
