Georgia ranked second among its neighboring countries in terms of taxi services cost. According to an updated study by the international database Numbeo, the average price per kilometer of a taxi ride in the country is 0.71 dollars.

In the global ranking, which covers 99 states, Georgia is in 76th position. At the same time, among its closest neighbors, higher tariffs are recorded only in Turkey – there the cost per kilometer of a trip reaches 0.85 dollars.

For comparison, in Azerbaijan, the average cost per kilometer by taxi is 0.59 dollars, in Russia – 0.45 dollars, and in Armenia – 0.43 dollars. Thus, Armenia remains the most affordable country among Georgia's neighbors in this indicator.

At the same time, European countries became the world leaders in expensive taxis. In Switzerland, the average cost per kilometer of a trip reaches 4.70 dollars, in Luxembourg – 4.06 dollars, and in Albania – 3.67 dollars.

Despite the fact that Georgia did not enter the list of the most expensive countries in the world, its positions within the region turned out to be unexpectedly high – taxi rides here are noticeably more expensive than in most of its neighbors.
