How much time to allow

For the direct road journey, 3–3.5 hours is a planning estimate, not an arrival guarantee. City traffic, rain, fog and comfort stops can extend it. Airport passengers also need time for passport control and bags. For a same-day visit, reserve time for both road legs before deciding how many attractions fit.

Flight changes and airport waiting

The landing time is not the time you will be outside the terminal. Send the flight number so the driver can follow arrival information, and report a rebooking or cancellation yourself. Agree the waiting arrangement in writing. If a delay changes the onward itinerary, reconfirm hotel access and the driver’s availability before travelling.

Same-day return is a defined booking

Confirm both pickup addresses, the return date and the latest agreed departure from Gabala. A same-day return is not unlimited driver hire or an open-ended tour. Write down the included stops and waiting before accepting the total. A later date or a substantial itinerary change requires a new confirmation and may change the fare.
