Why Should You Choose a Transfer Service? (Important!)
The road from Trabzon to the Sarp Border Crossing is a fully dual-carriageway coastal road. However, this distance of approximately 185 kilometers can be exhausting for those who do not want to get behind the wheel, especially after a flight.
Furthermore, the vast majority of rental cars cannot go abroad (due to insurance coverage requirements). Therefore, the most logical option is for us to drop you off at the "pedestrian entrance" of the border gate with our transfer vehicle and for you to cross to the Batumi side on foot. Advantages we provide to our customers:
- No Fatigue: Our drivers handle the 3-hour journey while you enjoy the scenery.
- No Luggage Trouble: Your suitcases are not a problem with our VIP vehicles with large luggage capacity (Vito etc.).

When the Trabzon Car Rental transfer team drops you off at the gate, you should pay attention to the following:
