Baku Airport GYD: planning a rental car pick-up

Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is about 20 km east of central Baku. If you plan to collect a rental car after landing, account for the terminal exit, bags and the exact meeting point as well as your scheduled arrival time.

01 / ARRIVAL / GYD

Confirm the terminal and meeting point

The airport advises passengers to check their terminal against their flight details in advance. For a rental, “at the airport” might mean a desk, a parking area or another meeting point, depending on the operator.

CarTime offers airport collection. Share your flight number and agree on the exact meeting point, time and any extra fee in advance.

02 / ARRIVAL / GYD

Allow time after landing

Passport control, baggage collection and the walk out can take different amounts of time. Share your flight number when arranging a meeting and ask what happens if your flight is delayed. For a late arrival, check collection hours and a contact method.

Before driving away, save your first destination and check parking at your accommodation. The airport also lists AeroExpress as a city connection.

03 / ARRIVAL / GYD

Return before departure

Agree on the return point, inspection time and fuel requirement in advance. Do not assume that collection and return automatically happen at the same spot.

Airport guidance distinguishes designated areas for operators based at the airport from general parking for other vehicles. Your rental operator must confirm the exact return location.

Five questions before confirming

  • Where exactly is the meeting point: terminal, exit, parking or city office?
  • Who do I contact if my flight is delayed?
  • Is there an airport or late-hour charge?
  • Where and when should I return the car before flying?
  • Which documents and rental terms must be confirmed first?
