Drive from the airport to Baku

Many tourists visiting Azerbaijan first find themselves at a magnificent airport near Baku, but usually they don’t fly to the country because of the airport, so the expected question immediately rises. How to get to the city center, avoiding trouble? There are several ways that will be described in detail below for different types of travel and budgets.

While preparing for the trip, I came across an article of an amateur tourist who survived severe stress, trying to refuse all obtrusive taxi drivers at a time, while they prevented him from getting on the bus, which the poor fellow eventually missed and went to wait for the next one. Many tourists will also opt for a bus to the city, because it is the most budget and simple. But if you are accustomed to ride in comfort or, for example, come to relax with family and children, this option is unlikely to suit you.

I thought the taxi drivers were not so annoying, but if you think you definitely would not want to dismiss them in anticipation of suitable public transport, take yourself an individual transfer. Its main difference from a taxi is that you book it in advance at any time during your journey and the driver will meet you with a name sign, escort you to the car, help you with your luggage and safely bring you to the hotel for the price set at the international transfer website. The cost of this service may vary depending on the class of car, but the average starts at $ 28. This method is ideal for family trips, as well as tourists who love comfort and avoid unnecessary problems and hassle.

It is also possible to move around the city in a rented car, it is quite suitable for independent freedom lovers who want to enjoy the views on the way to the hotel. There is a separate car dealer at the airport, but if possible, book a car in advance on the website to avoid unnecessary delays on the way. The cost of renting from $ 30, also varies greatly depending on the class of the car, and also in this case, the role of the rental period.

It is necessary to know for sure whether you are going on a trip across the country, or enjoy only rest in Baku itself. In any case, if you come to see something other than your hotel room and you are not fans of extreme sports and new sensations, it is better to choose a rented car rather than public transport for moving around the country, especially if you are traveling with children.
