By taxi

• 💳 Cost: from 1400 rubles

• 🎫 Working period: around the clock

Despite the availability of an easy way to get from the airport by direct buses, you are still advised to use a taxi. The fact is that the bus station in Bakhchisarai is located a little away from the tourist area, and you still have to get from it to your hotel by taxi or local buses. In addition, a taxi ride with a group or family will cost quite a bit more than by bus.

A taxi at the airport can be ordered at the counter in the arrivals hall or in the parking lot on the street. But keep in mind that in the parking lot you will have to bargain up to a real price of about 1400 rubles, because sometimes drivers take advantage of tourists' ignorance of the situation and immediately ask for a speculative price.

If you do not want to bargain, but want to go on vacation immediately without delay, you can book a personal tourist transfer via the search form below or order a taxi on the website of one of the local taxi companies. In this case, a driver with a sign will be waiting for you at the airport upon arrival. Payment is made online, Russian-language support is available. Payment is made for the car, not for each person, so that the company or family can save money. The transfer is available at least on the site intui.travel.
