Getting Around
How to get to and from Tbilisi International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at TBS
Tbilisi International Airport is connected to Tbilisi and the wider Georgia transport network by multiple ground transport options.
A small 'Airport' railway station sits right next to the terminal; a night train departs daily at 04:00 and reaches Tbilisi Central Railway Station in about 35 minutes for 0.50 GEL. Daytime train frequency isn't confirmed.
Bus #337 runs to Tbilisi Central Railway Station via Freedom Square and Rustaveli Avenue roughly every 15–20 minutes from about 7am to 11pm (no overnight service); the fare is 1 GEL with a 90-minute transfer window, paid with a tap card available from the Bank of Georgia counter in arrivals.
A metered taxi rank runs 24/7 outside arrivals; the metered fare downtown is typically 40–60 GEL for a 20–30 minute ride, though curbside drivers sometimes quote tourists more — confirm the meter is running, or agree a price up front.
Bolt and Yandex Go both operate 24/7 and are usually the cheapest door-to-door option, typically 15–35 GEL.
Rental desks — including Hertz, Sixt, Europcar, Avis, Alamo, Budget, Enterprise, Thrifty, Dollar, and local Georgian operators — are in the arrivals hall past baggage claim; Enterprise is confirmed to run a 24/7 in-terminal office.
The train and bus both undercut a taxi on price and run at similar speed outside rush hour; keep small GEL notes or a transport card handy since not every driver accepts cards.
