A private transfer from Baku to Gabala — about 225 km through Shamakhi and the foothills, roughly three and a quarter hours of driving.

This is the journey that makes the least sense in a metered taxi and the most sense in a fixed-price car: it is a long leg, the return is empty if you are staying overnight, and the price should reflect the distance rather than the meter. One-way is priced for one-way; a round trip costs less than booking two separate transfers.

Prices are per vehicle for the whole journey, not per passenger. A round trip and driver waiting time can be added on the booking form.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the drive to Gabala?
Around three and a quarter hours in normal conditions, covering about 225 km. Stops in Shamakhi or at the Zernava bridge add to that, so tell us if you want them and we will build the timing around it.
Should I book one-way or a return?
If you are staying a night or more in Gabala, one-way each way is usually cleaner. If you are going up and back in a day, book the round trip — it is priced below two one-way transfers because the driver stays with you.
Can the driver wait while we use the Tufandag cable car?
Yes. Add waiting hours on the booking form. Most people find three to four hours enough for the cable car and the Seven Beauties waterfall together.
Will we see Nohur Lake?
Lakeside access at Nohur is restricted at present, so we do not promise a stop at the shoreline. The valley, the waterfall and the cable car are all unaffected.
Is a transfer better than your Gabala tour?
It depends what you want. A transfer is the car and driver, on your schedule, with no guide. Our <a href="/tours/gabala-shamakhi-day-tour-from-baku/">Gabala and Shamakhi day tour</a> covers the same region with a guide and a fixed itinerary.
