Getting a taxi in Baku
After disembarking a long flight, the last thing you want to do is join another queue and wait for your ride. Instead, you can enjoy a direct door-to-door journey to your hotel by taking a fast and reliable Baku Airport taxi.
The dark purple “London Cabs” are all metered and can be found outside the Arrivals Hall at the official Baku Airport taxi rank. These taxis offer journeys into the urban area of Baku and beyond. A trip into the city center will take around 30 minutes, whereas traveling to Gobustan to explore the natural wonders will take closer to 1 hour and 40 minutes.

What's the Baku Airport taxi price?
Baku Airport taxi rates aren’t fixed; instead, prices will be calculated using a taximeter. This means that the cost of your journey depends on the distance you travel and the traffic levels along the way. It’s important to note that prices may vary between the different companies and operators, but you can expect to pay an average Baku Airport taxi price of €0.80 (AZN 1.50) as a base fare and €0.50 (AZN 1) per km.
For example, the 21 km journey from Baku Airport to the city center costs around €16 (AZN 30), while a longer 4-hour and 20-minute journey to Gebele costs closer to €60 (AZN 116). We recommend negotiating the final fare with your driver before setting off to avoid overcharging.
*To avoid the uncertainty that comes with a metered journey, you can also pre-book your Baku Airport taxi services with a trusted company such as Welcome Pickups to enjoy pre-paid, fixed fares with no hidden extra costs.

Where is the Baku Airport taxi rank?
There are two terminals at Baku Airport: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. You can find the official Baku Airport taxi rank right outside the exit of Terminal 1. You will easily be able to spot the rank as soon as you exit the Arrivals Hall. There’s also a taxi booth inside the terminal near the meet and greet area. You can book your ride there, or by calling 1000.
Airport taxis in Baku are dark purple with a large orange “TAXI” sign on top. Although the rank is open 24/7, there can be up to a 10-minute wait for an available cab during peak travel times.
To avoid the unnecessary wait and enjoy a personalized meet-and-greet inside the airport instead, you can pre-book your Baku Airport taxi services with a trusted company like Welcome Pickups.
Baku Airport taxi tips

- Taking a Baku Airport taxi is safe, as long as you use one of the official “London Cabs” from the taxi rank.
- You can’t always pay for your Baku Airport taxi by card. Asking your driver before beginning your journey and carrying cash in the local currency (AZN) is wise.

How to get from Baku Airport to your hotel
Although it’s possible to take the bus from Baku Airport to the city, it only stops at “28 May Station”, which is at least a 20-minute walk from any hotel. Plus, the public transport can often be overcrowded with no luggage storage, making it hard to travel in groups or with large items.
Instead, you can take a private, direct, and relaxing Baku Airport taxi to your hotel in just 30 minutes. You won’t have to worry about dragging your luggage through the city streets or keeping your loved ones safe.
