Car Hire in the Caucasus

There are taxis always available at the Mineralnye Vody airport or railway station as well as at the Nalchik railway station. Be sure to fix the price – 60-90 Euro from Mineralnye Vody and 40-60 Euro from Nalchik.

You will be invited by many of taxi drivers and demand to drive you to any destination. Ensure it is a licensed taxi. Be very careful choosing the driver. Some of them might be criminals. They look for single passengers to drive them just few kilometers away and rob them. Do not trust the most active drivers. Do not trust if someone (a stranger) offers you to drive together and shear the taxi cost.

We strongly recommend advanced booking of a taxi with the travel companies offering services in the Elbrus area. Especially if you are a single traveler. Travel companies provide only reliable cars and helpful drivers.
