Samarkand Transfers: Airport, Station and Intercity Routes
Updated:
Available daily on request · airport and train station · Bukhara · Shakhrisabz · Jartepa / Sarazm · car with driver · from USD 30
Book a private airport or train-station pickup to your hotel, an intercity drive to Bukhara, a vehicle to Shakhrisabz, or transport to the Jartepa / Sarazm border. We match a sedan, SUV, minivan or minibus to your party size and luggage.
Send your route, date, time and luggage details. Before travel, CAJ.UZ confirms the vehicle class, meeting point, price and driver contact in writing, so you do not have to find transport after arrival or negotiate a new fare on the spot.
Important: submitting a request does not yet reserve a vehicle. The service is confirmed only after CAJ.UZ sends the route, price and pickup details in writing.
In brief: transfers can be requested for any date, subject to confirmation. A city pickup starts at USD 30, Samarkand → Bukhara at USD 80, a standard return trip to Shakhrisabz at USD 100, and Samarkand → Jartepa / Sarazm at USD 60. The final price depends on vehicle, time, luggage, waiting and extra stops.
