Compare JET Sharing scooters, Bolt, conventional taxis and the metro — with airport transfers and a family cost calculator.
Updated on 19 October 2026 · All prices in AZN (₼)₼1.30
Per person to 28 May. Add ₼0.60 if continuing by metro to Sahil, then walk to Nizami Street.
Price the whole group.
Three metro rides cost ₼1.80. Compare this with one car quote, not three car fares. Scooter rentals are charged per scooter.
01 / AIRPORT TO NIZAMI STREET
Arrive with a plan.
Times begin after you are ready to leave the terminal; immigration and baggage collection are excluded. Road times below are planning allowances, not live traffic forecasts.
| Option | Cost | Time to Nizami Street area | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bolt | Published airport → Sahil benchmark: ₼13.60 Bolt / ₼16.10 Comfort / ₼20 XL per car. Live quote controls. | Allow 35–60 min after pickup, including final walk; operator benchmark is 32 min driving to Sahil. Add pickup wait. | These are web estimates to Sahil, not a live quote to your hotel. The same page also quotes ₼10.60 for a different cash category; do not treat it as the Bolt-category price. |
| Official / conventional taxi | Request the meter basis or total quote. A reliable current airport-to-Nizami fixed tariff was not available in the official page checked. | Allow 35–60 min after pickup, plus any queue. | Use the official taxi desk / pickup area. Confirm the complete charge, vehicle capacity and luggage before departure. |
| H1 bus + metro | ₼1.90 per person = ₼1.30 H1 + ₼0.60 metro; physical card purchase extra. | Allow 50–75 min travelling/connecting/walking, plus bus wait. | H1 to 28 May → metro one stop to Sahil → walk to Nizami Street. Metro is not available before 06:00 or after midnight. |
| H1 bus + walk | ₼1.30 per person; physical card purchase extra if needed. | Allow 55–80 min including the walk, plus bus wait. | H1 to 28 May, then roughly 25–35 min walking to Fountains Square; less comfortable with heavy bags. |
| Metro only | Not available | — | No direct airport metro. Use H1 or a car for the airport leg. |
| JET Sharing scooter | Not recommended for this transfer | — | Not a practical airport transfer with luggage or on airport access roads. |
H1 operates around the clock: the airport lists 20-minute intervals from 06:00 to 23:15 and 45-minute intervals overnight. The published bus travel time to 28 May is about 30 minutes, traffic permitting. Check the stop display on arrival.
For three travellers: H1 + metro is ₼5.70 in fares, versus ₼3.90 for H1 + walking. Add any card purchase. Bolt lists an airport entry fee in its fee guidance; check the final app breakdown rather than adding or paying a fee twice.
02 / YOUR TOURIST ROUTES
From Fountains Square / Nizami Street
All times are editorial planning estimates, including approximate station/attraction walks for metro trips. Car times exclude pickup wait. They are not measured live routes. Traffic, station exits, road closures and your exact hotel change the result. Attraction admission is excluded.
Why some prices say “quote”: no verified live Bolt, taxi or JET price was obtained for these individual journeys. We show the published metro fare and give you a calculator below to compare the actual quotes, rather than invent route prices.
| Destination | Walk | Bolt | Taxi | Metro / public transport | JET Sharing / practical choice |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old City & Maiden Tower Route map ↗ | 10–20 min ₼0 | 10–20 min Live app quote per car | 10–20 min Meter / agreed quote per car | Sahil → Icherisheher, then walk; 20–30 min. Walking is usually simpler. ₼0.60 per person | Walk; cobbles and pedestrian areas make scooters inconvenient. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
| Boulevard & Park Bulvar Route map ↗ | 15–25 min ₼0 | 10–20 min Live app quote per car | 10–20 min Meter / agreed quote per car | Walk to the waterfront; taking a train adds little value. ₼0 walking per person | JET may suit a short permitted route; check ride/parking zones. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
| Carpet Museum & Little Venice Route map ↗ | 25–35 min ₼0 | 10–20 min Live app quote per car | 10–20 min Meter / agreed quote per car | Sahil → Icherisheher, then walk; 30–40 min. ₼0.60 per person | Walk or car; scooter only where the app permits. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
| Highland Park & Flame Towers Route map ↗ | 40–55 min, uphill ₼0 | 15–25 min Live app quote per car | 15–25 min Meter / agreed quote per car | Sahil → Icherisheher, then uphill walk; 40–55 min. Funicular is extra if used. ₼0.60 + optional funicular per person | Car is easier for the climb; avoid budgeting a scooter hill route. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
| Heydar Aliyev Center Route map ↗ | 70–90 min ₼0 | 20–35 min Live app quote per car | 20–35 min Meter / agreed quote per car | Walk to Sahil → Nariman Narimanov, then walk; 40–55 min. ₼0.60 per person | Metro plus walking or car; JET is not our default for this road route. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
| Baku Zoo Route map ↗ | 45–65 min ₼0 | 15–30 min Live app quote per car | 15–30 min Meter / agreed quote per car | Sahil → Ganjlik, then walk; 35–50 min. ₼0.60 per person | Car or metro plus walking. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
| Ganjlik Mall Route map ↗ | 65–85 min ₼0 | 20–35 min Live app quote per car | 20–35 min Meter / agreed quote per car | Sahil → Ganjlik, then walk; 30–45 min. ₼0.60 per person | Metro is a useful direct option. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
| Ateshgah Fire Temple Route map ↗ | Not a practical walk ₼0 | 35–60 min Live app quote per car | 35–60 min Meter / agreed quote per car | No direct metro to the temple; a bus/taxi connection is needed. Allow 75–110 min for mixed public transport. ₼0.60 metro + unverified connection fare per person | Arrange the return car/driver; no scooter recommendation. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
| Yanar Dag Route map ↗ | Not a practical walk ₼0 | 35–60 min Live app quote per car | 35–60 min Meter / agreed quote per car | No direct metro. A suburban connection is required; allow 75–110 min for mixed public transport. ₼0.60 metro + unverified connection fare per person | Car/driver with return arrangement; no scooter recommendation. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
| Gobustan rock-art reserve Route map ↗ | Not a practical walk ₼0 | 60–90 min Live app quote per car | 60–90 min Meter / agreed quote per car | No metro to the reserve; independent bus travel needs a final connection. Through fare not verified per person | Book a return driver/tour; mud volcano access is a separate journey. Tariff and permitted route: check JET app. |
Metro routing is a planning suggestion: confirm train direction and station access in the official route planner. For Ateshgah, Yanar Dag and Gobustan, agree waiting time and the return leg with a driver; a one-way app ride does not guarantee a return pickup.
03 / JETSHR = JET SHARING
A scooter for short permitted trips.
- JET is available in Baku through its own app and through Yango’s Scooters section.
- Tap the scooter in the app to see the current tariff, unlock fee, any extras, riding area and approved parking. A public October 2026 Baku tariff was not verified.
- For a short, permitted waterfront-area route, allow roughly 10–20 riding minutes as a planning example, plus finding/parking the scooter. This is not a verified JET route or travel-time promise.
- For a family, each rider needs a separate scooter. Check the operator’s current age eligibility before including a teenager; the app-store age rating does not establish rider eligibility.
- Pedestrian Nizami Street, Old City cobbles, steep hills, wind and app no-ride zones can make walking or a car easier. Follow current local rules and the app map; do not assume a pedestrian area permits riding.
04 / GROUP COST COMPARISON
Compare the quotes on your phone.
Enter current app/counter prices. Blank fields stay unknown; no unverified tariff is pre-filled. Values are for one-way travel, except any optional card purchase. This tool does not book transport.
Choose enough vehicles for everyone and their bags. The calculator uses your vehicle count; it does not check availability. JET totals cover only the eligible riders entered, which may be fewer than the whole group. A physical BakıKart costs ₼2 per card purchased, separately from displayed fares.
