The drive from Kutaisi International Airport to Batumi covers 124 km and takes about two hours. You start in the flatlands around Kutaisi, then head west through the countryside of Imereti and Guria. The route passes the turn for Kutaisi old town, then continues toward the coast. Many drivers stop at Ureki, known for its magnetic-sand beach, and at Kobuleti, a seaside town with a long beach. The landscape shifts from fields and low hills to the Black Sea coast. With a private car, you avoid waiting for buses or trains, and you can stop where you like. Your driver helps with luggage and takes you door-to-door, whether to a hotel in Batumi or an address in the old town. It is a straightforward, comfortable ride.
Leave in the morning to avoid arriving after dark, especially if you want to stop at Ureki or Kobuleti. The route is flat, so no mountain gear is needed. Bring some cash for small cafes along the way, as not all take cards. If you are traveling with children, tell the driver in advance so a child seat can be arranged. Luggage fits easily in a private car. There is no border crossing on this route, so no passport is required beyond your normal ID. The road is open year-round, but summer weekends can be busy near the coast.
| Option | Door-to-door | Price | Time | Luggage / group |

| Taxi (street / app) | yes | metered or negotiated at pick-up | about 2 h 0 min | limited for long routes; luggage space varies |
| Bus / marshrutka | no — station to station | ticket per person | timetable-bound, slower with stops | limited luggage, no seat guarantee |
Third-party options are listed for orientation only — OrbiTrip books private transfers. A per-car transfer is usually the cheapest door-to-door option for 2+ people with luggage; for a solo traveller on a budget the train or marshrutka may cost less.
