Public transport in Georgia is limited outside Tbilisi, and taxis between cities get expensive fast. A rental car is the easiest way to reach mountain villages, wine regions, and Black Sea beaches on your own schedule.
Why rent a car in Georgia with TakeCars
TakeCars connects you directly with verified local car owners across Georgia. Unlike large rental chains, our suppliers are independent businesses — they keep their cars in top condition because their livelihood depends on good reviews. Every listing shows real photos taken by the owner, not stock images.
- No hidden fees: The price you see includes insurance, delivery, and all taxes. The full cost is locked in before you book.
- Rental by contract: Every booking is secured by a written rental agreement that protects both you and the owner.
- Flexible pickup: Get your car delivered to Tbilisi Airport, your hotel, or any location in Georgia — most owners offer free delivery within city limits.
- 24/7 support: Our team speaks English. We're available around the clock if anything comes up during your trip.
""Most of my customers are first-time visitors to Georgia. I always send them a short guide with my personal tips — best fuel stations, which mountain roads to avoid, where to eat along the way."" — Tamaz, car owner in Tbilisi
What you need to rent a car in Georgia
Georgia has straightforward requirements for foreign drivers. You need a valid passport, a driver's license in Latin characters (no international permit required), and a standard category B license. Minimum age is typically 21 with at least 2 years of driving experience, though some economy cars are available from age 19.
Where you can and can't drive
You're free to explore most of Georgia by car, including the Georgian Military Highway to Kazbegi, the wine roads of Kakheti, and the coast from Batumi to Poti. However, rental cars cannot be taken to South Ossetia or Abkhazia (uncontrolled territories where insurance is void), and most suppliers restrict the Ushguli–Lentekhi mountain road unless you book a vehicle with special off-road authorization. Cross-border travel to Armenia or Azerbaijan may be possible with advance arrangement — ask the owner before booking.
Where to rent a car in Georgia
Georgia's main tourist routes connect three hubs: Tbilisi in the east, Kutaisi in the center, and Batumi on the Black Sea coast. The new east–west highway (completed December 2025) has cut driving time between Tbilisi and Kutaisi to under 3 hours, and Tbilisi to Batumi to about 4.5 hours.
Most visitors pick up their car at one of Georgia's three airports — Tbilisi (TBS), Kutaisi (KUT), or Batumi (BUS) — or in the city center. One-way rentals between cities are available from many suppliers on TakeCars.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class in Georgia
We rented a Mercedes B200 for 4 days. Very competent support resources throughout the process (selection, reserve, use, delivery cars). Drove 800 km across beautiful Georgia. As agreed, the car was waiting at the airport with a friendly and polite employee. The car has excelled in comfort, dynamics and efficiency (7.5 l / 100km, taking into account the traffic jams in Tbilisi). I will use the local car hires service in other countries on the next trips. RECOMMEND 100%

Why you need a car in Georgia
Buses and marshrutkas don't reach Kazbegi, Tusheti, or Kakheti wineries on your schedule. A rental car lets you cover more of Georgia in one week than two weeks on public transport.
-
Book online, pick up on arrival
Reserve your car before you fly. Your owner delivers it to the airport or hotel — keys, contract, and a full tank waiting at arrivals. No queues, no paperwork at a counter.
-
Drive it, return it, review it
Return the car at any agreed location in Georgia. Leave an honest review to help the next traveler choose the right car and owner.
Driving tips for Georgia
Georgia drives on the right. Speed limits are 60 km/h in cities, 90 km/h on open roads, and 110 km/h on highways. The blood alcohol limit is strict at 0.03% — effectively zero tolerance. Speed cameras are common on main highways, and fines are issued automatically.
Main roads between major cities are in good condition, especially after the new highway opened. Mountain roads (Gudauri, Mestia, Stepantsminda) are paved but narrow with sharp turns — drive cautiously and keep headlights on. Winter tires are mandatory on mountain passes from December 1 through March 1.
"The road to Kazbegi is beautiful but busy in summer. I always tell my renters to leave Tbilisi early in the morning to avoid the traffic and catch the best light at Gergeti Trinity Church." — Georgy, car owner in Tbilisi
Fuel and parking
Fuel stations are plentiful along main routes. Stick to major chains like Wissol, Gulf, or Socar for consistent quality. Most stations are full-service — an attendant fills your tank. Expect to pay around 3.0–3.5 GEL per liter for gasoline. Paid parking operates in Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi through city parking apps; everywhere else parking is free.
Insurance options on TakeCars
Every car comes with mandatory Third Party Liability (TPL) at no extra cost. For broader protection, look for these options when browsing cars:
- CDW — covers damage to the rental car, excluding windscreen, tires, and underside.
- Super CDW (SCDW) — covers all damage including windscreen, wheels, and undercarriage.
- FDW — full damage waiver with zero liability. The most comprehensive option.
Cars with CDW or higher typically require no deposit at all — look for the "Deposit ₾0" label in listings.
Title
Car rental prices in Georgia follow a clear seasonal pattern. Winter months (January–March) offer the lowest rates, making it an affordable time for ski trips to Gudauri or Bakuriani. Prices climb from May through August as tourism peaks, especially during July and August when Batumi and the mountain regions are most popular. September and October — the wine harvest season in Kakheti — remain busy but slightly cheaper than midsummer.
Booking 2–4 weeks in advance typically saves 10–15% compared to last-minute searches, especially in high season when popular models sell out fast.
