Georgia is one of the easiest places to rent a car in Europe — visa-free for most travellers, low deposits, and a country that genuinely opens up only with a car. Most rentals start at Tbilisi, Kutaisi or Batumi airport, run 5–7 days and cover Kakheti, Kazbegi, Svaneti and the Black Sea coast.
Choosing the right car for Georgia
Georgia is one of the few European-adjacent destinations where a week behind the wheel takes you through alpine mountains, Black Sea beaches, wine valleys and mediaeval architecture — without the paperwork. Most European passport holders enter visa-free for up to a year, which makes Georgia an unusually easy first-time drive abroad.
The people who come here are rarely package tourists — there is barely a package-tour industry in Georgia at all. These are independent travellers who booked their own flights and want to decide on the day where they drive next. Couples and solo travellers dominate; families with young children are the minority because mountain logistics and long drives don't always suit toddlers.
In Georgia there is almost no ready-made tourism. People who arrive here are the kind who want to pick their own route over breakfast. Without a car the country shrinks to central Tbilisi; with one, it opens all the way to remote mountain villages.
The average rental in Georgia lasts five to seven days, and nine out of ten travellers pick up the car straight at Tbilisi International Airport. Kutaisi is the second gateway, served by European low-cost carriers, and Batumi is the sea-and-mountains finale on the Black Sea coast. Between these three points, the country is genuinely accessible only by car.
A week is enough to see Kakheti's vineyards, the Caucasus ridge at Kazbegi and the Black Sea at Batumi — but only if you drive. Buses and trains cover the cities, not the bits in between that make Georgia worth the trip.
The unofficial national car of Georgia is the Subaru Forester. It is imported in volume from US auction sites, arrives by container at the port of Batumi and then prepared for resale locally. The Forester handles mountain switchbacks, rough tarmac and bad weather confidently, and it is one of the few countries where you can rent one easily — prices start from around $30 per day.
Petrol or diesel is the other question every renter asks. In Georgia, choose petrol. Diesel quality is noticeably poor compared to Western Europe and punishes older engines. Hybrid economy cars (Toyota Prius, Toyota Aqua) require 95-octane petrol only — using 92 will flag a dashboard error immediately.
Around ninety per cent of our fleet comes from American auctions. New cars exist in Georgia, but they are the exception. If you want a recent Camry or fresh Jeep, book a few weeks ahead rather than hoping to find one on arrival.
A quirk of the Georgian market: some Japanese imports arrived right-hand drive and were converted to left-hand drive locally. The conversion isn't factory work and you can spot one by the small mirror on the left-hand bumper — it belonged there when the steering wheel was on the right. Driveability is fine, but the detail is worth knowing.
Automatic gearboxes dominate the market, roughly seventy per cent of the fleet. For serious mountain routes — Kazbegi, the Military Road, Svaneti — an automatic is less tiring on long descents, and most renters choose it over manual even when the price difference is five dollars a day.
One of our suppliers keeps a fleet of fifty-plus vehicles, and almost every one of them is a Forester. That tells you everything about what works in Georgia: a reliable 4x4 in a landscape that changes from motorway to gravel in an hour.

When to book and what to pay
The cheapest months are March and November. In low season an economy car starts at $22 per day, a mid-size saloon at $28, a crossover from $29.
July and August are the opposite: prices rise 40–80% and availability evaporates. Book four to eight weeks ahead in peak — you won't always get your first choice on a two-week notice.
In the shoulder season we often upgrade a booked economy car to a crossover at no cost, because the booked unit has already left and a better one is free. In July that generosity disappears — there are no spare cars at all.
Deposits in Georgia are low by European standards. Economy cars often have none, saloons ask for $100–300, crossovers $300–500. Cash in US dollars or lari is standard, and refunds happen on the spot at drop-off.
A booking four weeks in advance versus the day before in high season is a different world — not only price, but choice. The best cars go first, and by the last week you are picking from whatever remains.
Subaru Forester en Georgia
Un servicio estupendo: una de las soluciones más fáciles y cómodas, sin burocracia innecesaria. Todo es muy rápido y fácil - ni siquiera puedo creer que sea tan fácil. Bonito coche, grande y cómodo. A altas velocidades en la autopista la controlabilidad del coche disminuye ligeramente, pero es un pequeño inconveniente. El aire acondicionado es ruidoso, pero te acostumbras y enfría bastante bien. Todo está muy bien, me ha gustado. Intentaré utilizar este servicio en el futuro.
Chevrolet Cruze en Georgia
Todo ha ido muy bien. Hacia el final del contrato de arrendamiento se encendió la comprobación de aceite, he comprobado era un pequeño nivel de aceite, pero este problema se resolvió rápidamente en el maletero era aceite. Las vacaciones fueron bien. Muchas gracias.
Subaru Forester Limited en Georgia
El servicio fue increíble, ¡sólo puedo elogiarlo! La gente era muy amable, todo estaba en la fecha prevista, todo era según lo acordado en el sitio web (precio, lugar y hora, coche como en la foto / descrito), coche estaba completamente limpio (por dentro y por fuera), etc. ¡No dudaré en utilizar sus servicios de nuevo cuando vuelva a Georgia! Un punto menor - el coche necesita mantenimiento, ya que fue importado de los EE.UU., y Subarus necesita ser conectado a un ordenador si lo remolca.Debido a que (probablemente) no lo hicieron, algunos de los componentes electrónicos en el coche no funcionaba como debería - control de crucero, asistente de carril y la alineación automática de luces no funcionaba (todo lo demás estaba en su lugar!). Pero, como ya he dicho, son nimiedades - todas las cosas más importantes del coche funcionaban como debían (cambio de marchas automático, motor, acpp, frenos, ninguna luz extraña en el salpicadero, etc.), ningún sonido extraño de debajo del fondo al golpear baches (a veces es imposible evitarlos), etc. Así que el coche ¡ES! Lo dicho, volvería a utilizar sus servicios sin pensármelo dos veces.

Toyota Prius en Georgia
Yo vivo en Chipre y tuve que ir a Georgia para asuntos personales. He buscado durante mucho tiempo en Internet para alquilar por una semana y por menos de $ 340 y más $ 200 un depósito, no pude encontrar. Me topé con el sitio LocalCarHires.com y después de intercambiar varios mensajes en watsup, me puse de acuerdo con ellos por $ 250. Un hombre nos recibió en el aeropuerto de Kutaisi a tiempo y fue muy amable y educado con nosotros. En general, quedé muy satisfecho con el coche y, por supuesto, con el propietario. Si otra vez tengo que ir a Georgia, voy a tomar el coche de ellos de nuevo. ¡Gracias por el servicio!
Subaru Forester en Georgia
Me quedé muy satisfecho con el alquiler del coche. El coche está en muy buenas condiciones. El encuentro con el representante fue en el lugar indicado y a la hora correcta. Para el futuro: todos los que alquilen el coche deben comprobar el nivel de aceite y refrigerante en el radiador. Muchas gracias a todos por los servicios prestados. La máquina que cogí SUBARU FORESTER 4 × 4 en blanco.

Toyota Prius en Georgia

Subaru Crosstrek en Georgia
No muy contentos - El aire acondicionado del primer coche se rompió, el arrendatario no nos ayudó a traer el coche, tuvimos que ir a Kutaisi para cambiarlo, incluso tuvimos que pagar para lavar el coche (entiendo el lavado cuando se devuelve, pero el problema era el coche, así que esperábamos una venta y no un aumento del precio). - el arrendatario tomó un depósito más alto, pero se olvidó y tuvimos una conversación un poco incómoda cuando le pedimos que lo devolviera. Al final lo hizo, pero esto no es profesional - no nos ofrecieron nada, ya que tuvimos que cambiar un poco los planes para alquilar un coche con aire acondicionado y tuvimos que conducir a 33 grados en un coche negro sin aire acondicionado... Bueno, no 5 * revisión en absoluto

Kakheti wine country
A classic day trip from Tbilisi: Sighnaghi, Telavi, Bodbe monastery. Tarmac the whole way, any saloon or crossover will manage. If the itinerary includes hillside monasteries, a car with an automatic gearbox is more relaxing on the short steep approaches.
-
Military Road to Kazbegi
The Georgian Military Highway runs all the way to Stepantsminda and the Gergeti Trinity viewpoint on sealed road — a Toyota Prius will make it. From December to March winter tyres are mandatory on the pass; reputable suppliers fit them free of charge during the season.
-
Svaneti, Tusheti, Khevsureti
Serious mountain logistics. Tusheti and upper Khevsureti are 4x4-only on high-clearance vehicles. Sanveti is paved to Mestia but gravel to Ushguli. Most standard contracts prohibit gravel roads — you need a specific off-road package from the supplier.
Documents, deposit, insurance and payment — how it really works
Licence and age
A national driving licence from any country using Latin or Cyrillic script is accepted in Georgia for up to 12 months from entry — no international driving permit required. EU, UK, Swiss, US and Canadian licences all qualify. For licences in Arabic, Hindi or Chinese characters an IDP is needed. Minimum age is 21 with at least one year of driving experience. A second driver can be added for $3–7 per day, sometimes free of charge, and must be present at pickup.
The international driving permit is the single biggest unnecessary worry for European visitors to Georgia. Your national licence is enough — we process European and North American licences every day without any paperwork issues.
Deposit
Georgia is unusual for the region: on economy cars the deposit is often zero. Saloons require $100–300, crossovers $300–500, premium cars $1,000 and above. Cash in US dollars or Georgian lari is the common format, and deposits are refunded immediately at drop-off if there are no fines or damage.
More than half our economy fleet in Georgia goes out with no deposit at all. It's not carelessness on the supplier's side — it is a deliberate compromise: you take an older car, but you aren't tying up several hundred dollars on your card.
Payment and cards
Deposits for online bookings can be paid by any standard Visa or Mastercard. The balance is typically settled on arrival in cash (US dollars or lari) or by card. Most local suppliers accept debit and credit cards; international chains (Europcar, Hertz, Avis, Sixt) require a credit card in the lead driver's name. Official supplier currency is Georgian lari — if someone demands payment only in USD without any paperwork, that's a reason to walk away.
We accept standard European cards for the deposit so the customer can arrive relaxed. The balance is settled on the ground — cash or card, whatever works for the renter. This is the standard pattern across the Georgian market.
Insurance — what is actually covered
Georgian law requires only TPL (Third Party Liability) insurance to be included in every rental. CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) is an optional add-on at $5–15 per day — it covers bodywork and mechanical damage but excludes windscreen, wheels and undercarriage. Super CDW (Full Coverage with zero deductible) removes the excess and usually adds glass, tyres and undercarriage to the cover.
No Georgian insurance policy covers off-road driving — this is stated in every contract. Tyre punctures are also normally excluded; dedicated tyre cover is offered as a separate line item. From 1 January 2026, all visitors to Georgia must hold valid travel medical insurance with minimum cover of 30,000 GEL (around $11,000) — this is unrelated to the rental insurance and must be arranged separately.
The single biggest renter mistake is seeing the word 'insurance' on the voucher and relaxing. Basic CDW leaves an excess that often matches the deposit. The price gap between basic CDW and Full Coverage is $7–10 per day. The peace-of-mind gap is much bigger.
We recommend Super CDW to anyone renting in Georgia for the first time. Hand the car back, let the supplier check it, drive to the airport — and you never need to worry about a kerb in Old Tbilisi or a stone on a mountain road.
Where to pick up your car in Georgia
Most Georgia trips start in one of three cities. Car hire in Tbilisi is the largest market, with the main airport, the widest choice of vehicles and the most competitive pricing. Car hire in Kutaisi suits travellers arriving on European low-cost flights — Wizz Air and others. Car hire in Batumi is the right option for a Black Sea finish, or for exploring Adjara and the coast.

Frequently asked questions
In low season (March, November) economy cars start from $22 per day, a mid-size saloon like a Toyota Camry from $28, and a crossover from $29. Peak season (July–August) adds 40–80% to these rates, and availability drops sharply. Premium cars start at $120 per day, with rare exotics at several hundred per day.
No, not if your licence is written in Latin or Cyrillic script. EU, UK, US, Canadian, Swiss and most Balkan licences are accepted directly for up to 12 months from your date of entry. An IDP is required only for licences in Arabic, Hindi, Chinese or similar non-Latin scripts.
Yes. EU, EFTA and UK national driving licences are accepted directly for up to 12 months from your date of entry to Georgia. Plastic card format and the older paper format are both fine. No IDP required. Make sure the licence is still within its validity — Georgia does not honour expired documents even if they've been renewed elsewhere.
Economy cars in Georgia frequently come with no deposit at all — a regional peculiarity. Saloons require $100–300, crossovers $300–500, and premium cars $1,000 or more. Deposits can be taken as a card pre-authorisation or cash in USD/GEL, and are refunded on the spot at return if no fines or damage are found.
For Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) — no: the Georgian Military Highway is sealed to the village. Winter tyres are mandatory in winter. Svaneti is paved to Mestia but gravel to Ushguli, which requires 4x4. Tusheti is 4x4-only — the road to Omalo includes one of the most exposed mountain passes in Europe.
CDW covers bodywork and mechanical damage but keeps an excess — often equal to the deposit ($100–500) — and excludes windscreen, wheels and undercarriage. Super CDW (or 'Full Coverage' / 'Zero Deductible') removes the excess and adds glass, tyres and undercarriage to the cover. Daily price gap: $7–10.
Yes. From 1 January 2026 every foreign tourist entering Georgia must hold valid travel medical insurance with minimum cover of 30,000 GEL (approximately $11,000). It is separate from the car insurance and is checked at entry. Buy online before flying or at one of the insurance desks at the airport.
Yes, from 1 December to 1 March on mountain roads (Kazbegi, Bakuriani, Gudauri, Goderdzi). It is not just a recommendation — police turn back vehicles on summer tyres. Reputable suppliers fit winter tyres free of charge during the season, but confirm at booking. Snow chains are useful for Tusheti and higher Svaneti.
No. Georgia has no toll motorways, no vignettes and no electronic tags. You can drive the entire country freely, including the Tbilisi–Batumi expressway and the Military Highway. The only road-related costs are paid parking in Tbilisi and Batumi and fuel — around $1 per litre for 95-octane petrol.
Yes, one-way hire between major cities is a standard option. The drop-off fee is typically $30–80 depending on route and supplier. The busiest legs are Tbilisi → Batumi and Tbilisi → Kutaisi airport. With us, the one-way surcharge is shown on the car card before you confirm the booking.
Call 112 first — a police protocol is mandatory for any insurance claim. Then call the supplier. Do not move the car before the report is filed. Do not settle on the spot in cash with the other party or the officer — this voids the insurance and in Georgia is treated as bribery, which is a criminal offence.
All three international airports: Tbilisi (Shota Rustaveli), Kutaisi (David the Builder) and Batumi (Alexander Kartveli). Each has international chains (Europcar, Hertz, Sixt) and local suppliers. Meeting by flight number, no shuttle buses. Local fleets in Kutaisi and Batumi are smaller than Tbilisi — some cars are driven in from the capital to match your flight.
