Essential Information for Tourists
For regular municipal parking spaces in Batumi, it is usually more convenient to purchase a parking permit for the entire period of your stay:
One-day permit: GEL 10
Seven-day permit: GEL 20
Thirty-day permit: GEL 30
For a stay of three to seven days, the weekly permit is normally the most practical option. For a stay of more than one week, the monthly permit may already be better value.
However, a municipal parking permit does not necessarily cover special hourly parking areas, Batumi Airport parking, or privately operated covered car parks. These facilities have separate payment systems and tariffs.
