135 km and a shade under two hours from the terminal, joining the western road without entering the city; Shamakhi itself, the Juma mosque and Diri Baba are on the Baku to Shamakhi page. Of the airport runs this is the shortest into the mountains, which makes it one of the few worth doing straight off a late flight.

One vehicle carries a published fare on this direction; the others are quoted on request. That is not an oversight — the airport variants are booked far less often than the runs from the city, so rather than publish figures nobody has checked recently, the owner prices what he is sure of and quotes the rest. Tell us the group and the luggage and you get a number for the car that actually fits. The alternative remains a night in Baku and a bus in the morning: this corridor is served from the city, not from the terminal.

What each car costs on this road

Prices are per car, not per seat — which is why four people usually pay less each than four bus tickets plus the taxi at the far end. There is no separate one-way rate: a day trip comes back the same day, and if the car stays with you longer, the nights are added on the booking form.

  • Fuel, road tolls and parking — nothing added at the end
  • A price agreed before you set off, with no meter running

Frequently asked questions

How long is the airport to Shamakhi?
Just under two hours for 135 km. It is the shortest of the airport runs into the mountains.
Why is only one car priced?
Because the airport variants are booked far less often than the runs from Baku. Rather than publish a figure that has not been checked recently, we price what we are sure of and quote the rest on request.
Is it worth doing after a late landing?
More than the longer runs. Two hours is manageable; you would arrive tired rather than wrecked. Beyond that, a night in the city first is usually the better trade.
Can we stop at Diri Baba on the way?
It is on this road, about fifteen minutes short of the town. Twenty minutes there and back is enough — say so when you book and it is priced in.
