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.

Ce que nous avons aimé : Le prix nous a plu. Dans l'ensemble, l'expérience s'est révélée positive. Site web convivial avec navigation et sélection de véhicules. Disponibilité de l'assurance coque. Enregistrement pratique sur le site. La voiture ne m'a pas laissé tomber pendant tout le voyage, les 130 ch et la transmission automatique ont contribué à une conduite confortable. Ce que je n'ai pas aimé : 1. Lors de l'inspection de la voiture, celle-ci présentait un grand nombre de défauts de carrosserie, que l'employé n'a pas corrigés dans le document. Nous étions très méfiants à ce sujet et nous avons dû insister à plusieurs reprises pour qu'il marque tout, ce qui a provoqué des sentiments que nous voulons tromper - des sentiments désagréables. L'employé est parti sans tout inscrire correctement et nous avons inscrit nous-mêmes tous les défauts de l'état de la voiture. 2. Extérieurement, la voiture était poussiéreuse et n'était pas propre, ce n'était pas critique. 3) La voiture était sale : poussiéreuse à l'extérieur, pare-brise couvert de vieille poussière, dans le salon - petits déchets et saleté dans les coins. 4. l'état technique de la voiture était encore plus dérangeant. Louer une voiture dans un tel état, c'est mettre en danger le repos des clients, voire leur vie. Les suspensions claquaient beaucoup. Il est très inconfortable de conduire une voiture avec une telle suspension, on a l'impression qu'un amortisseur, une roue ou quelque chose d'autre est sur le point de tomber en plein mouvement. 5. Rien n'indique que localcars est un agrégateur, pas même la première fois que l'on a trouvé le bureau - aucun schéma spécifique de passage au bureau, c'était des minutes très perturbantes. 6. Il n'y avait pas de chargeur usb dans la voiture.

Lorsque nous avons récupéré la voiture, il était prévu que nous la ramenions à l'aéroport le 21 septembre à 18h00. Au lieu de cela, nous avons demandé s'il était possible de ramener la voiture le 20 septembre au matin. Cela réduirait de deux jours la durée de notre réservation. L'entreprise auprès de laquelle nous avions loué la voiture nous a répondu que ce n'était normalement pas possible, mais qu'elle ferait une exception. Il nous a promis un remboursement d'un jour. Ce remboursement inclurait également le paiement de la prise en charge à l'aéroport, car nous avions déposé la voiture ailleurs. Nous avons accepté. En fin de compte, il a même trouvé de nouveaux locataires, ce qui signifie qu'il a reçu le double de l'argent pour la même voiture, pendant deux jours. Nous les avons vus récupérer la voiture et nous disposons d'une vidéo de l'opération. Le tarif pour une journée, plus l'assurance, le chauffeur supplémentaire et la prise en charge à l'aéroport est de 160,50 lari. Au lieu de cela, lorsque nous avons ramené la voiture, un employé de la société de location a voulu nous donner 60 lari. Ce n'est pas ce que nous avions convenu. En fin de compte, l'employé ne nous a pas rendu l'argent, bien que le propriétaire de la société ait promis un remboursement. De plus, la voiture a été louée à d'autres personnes, de sorte que nous n'avons même pas pu récupérer la voiture pendant la durée de la location.

J'ai été extrêmement satisfait de notre choix. La voiture que nous avons choisie était très confortable, propre et le service à la clientèle était excellent. Le personnel s'est fait un plaisir de répondre à toutes nos questions avant et pendant la location et nous a même accompagnés pour un essai de conduite à notre demande afin de nous familiariser avec les aspects techniques de la conduite de la voiture, car nous n'avions jamais conduit de boîte de vitesses automatique auparavant. Je recommande vivement de faire appel à

Subaru Forester en Géorgie
Nous avons loué une Subaru forester à quatre roues motrices pendant 10 jours, et l'avons conduite dans presque toute la Géorgie (Tbilissi, Kazbegi, Zugdidi, Batumi). La voiture est excellente, le seul inconvénient étant que le système Aux ne fonctionnait pas. Les propriétaires, très sympathiques et amicaux, ont apporté gratuitement la voiture à l'hôtel à Tbilissi.

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.
