The route

Your driver meets you inside the arrivals hall of Heydar Aliyev International Airport with a name sign, tracks your flight in case of delays, and waits for free for 60 minutes after landing. From the terminal, it is a straight 25 km highway run to the city — around 30 minutes to Icherisheher, the Flame Towers area, or any hotel or apartment address in Baku. The same fixed price applies at 3 PM or 3 AM.

The airport express bus is cheap but runs to one drop-off point on a timetable, and airport taxi queues mean negotiating after a long flight. With a booked transfer, the price is agreed before you fly, the car is air-conditioned, and child seats are available on request — useful for families landing late.

Why Baku Center

What to expect

Baku's center packs the medieval walled old city of Icherisheher — with the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs — the Flame Towers, and the long seaside boulevard into a few walkable kilometers. Zaha Hadid's Heydar Aliyev Center and the carpet museum are short rides away.

We also run the route in reverse: book a pickup from any Baku address to the airport, and your driver arrives early, helps with luggage, and gets you to departures with time to spare. For a guided day around the city's highlights, see our Baku city tour option on the booking page.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the drive from Baku Airport to Baku Center?

~30 min for 25 km, depending on traffic leaving Baku and conditions on the way.

How much does a taxi from Baku Airport to Baku Center cost?

A private transfer with BakuTransfer costs a fixed $20 for a sedan (up to 3 passengers) or $40 for a minivan (up to 6). The price is per car and agreed before you travel — no meter, no negotiating, tolls included.

Is the price per person or per car?

Per car. A $20 sedan costs $20 total regardless of how many of you travel. Tolls included; no hidden fees.

Can you pick me up directly from the airport?

Yes — your driver tracks your flight, waits at arrivals with a name sign, and waiting is free for 60 minutes after landing.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes — $10 per seat. Select the number of child seats during booking and tell us the children's ages.

Is there a bus from Baku Airport to the city center?

Yes — the H1 Airport Express runs 24/7, every 15 minutes, between the airport, the Koroglu interchange and 28 May metro station, for 1.30 AZN paid by card or contactless. It's a good budget option, but it ends at a station — you still cross the city to your hotel with your luggage. A private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name sign and takes you door to door for a fixed price.

Is there an official taxi at Baku Airport?

Yes — the state Baku Taxi service (London-style cabs) has a booth at the Terminal 1 exit. It charges by the meter per kilometer, with paid waiting after 15 minutes, so the final fare depends on traffic and your address. With a pre-booked transfer the price is fixed before you land.

Do you operate at night?

Yes — many flights land in Baku between midnight and 5 am, and we run 24/7 at the same fixed price. Your driver tracks the flight and waits inside arrivals whenever you land, with 60 minutes of free waiting.
