Rent a car in Georgia

Yes. Third-Party Liability (TPL) — which covers damage you cause to other vehicles and people — is included in the price on virtually every car. About half of the catalogue additionally includes Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), and a large share has Super CDW, Full Damage Waiver (FDW — zero excess), Theft Protection (TP) and Personal Accident (PA) free. The exact coverage for each car is listed on the car card.

Standard rental insurance in our Georgia catalogue covers paved roads and light gravel roads (the kind you'll encounter heading to Kazbegi, Vashlovani or most Kakheti wine villages). Genuine off-road — deep mud, river crossings, sand, remote Tusheti tracks — is typically NOT covered, and damage to the underbody or tyres on such terrain can be charged to you. For Tusheti, Upper Svaneti and similar routes, rent a 4WD explicitly and confirm off-road coverage with the provider before departure.

Typically from around USD 200 for economy cars up to USD 1,500–2,000 for premium and SUVs. A large share of our Georgia catalogue — roughly two-thirds of cars — is offered with no deposit at all. Filter by 'No Deposit' or look for the badge on the car card.

21 years old with at least 1 year of driving experience for standard and mid-size cars; 23+ with 2+ years for SUVs and premium; 25+ with 3+ years for supercars. A young-driver fee may apply on a small share of the catalogue — the surcharge (if any) is shown on the car card before you book.

You'll need a passport with a valid Georgia entry stamp or visa, your national driving licence and — in most cases — an International Driving Permit (IDP). Originals are required at pickup; photos on a phone aren't accepted.

Not if your national licence is in Latin script and from an EU country, the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea or another Latin-alphabet country — the licence alone is enough. If your licence is in Cyrillic (RU, KZ, BY, UA, UZ and most CIS) or another non-Latin script, Georgia requires either a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) OR a notarised English/Georgian translation of the licence carried with the original. Without one or the other, most providers will refuse pickup.

Entry-level economy cars in our Georgia catalogue start from around USD 60/day. The typical rate across the catalogue is around USD 150–170/day. Premium SUVs and sedans sit at USD 300–700/day, and supercars start from roughly USD 1,500/day. Weekly and monthly rentals usually come with better daily rates.

Yes — a portion of our Georgia catalogue supports cross-border travel to Armenia (via Sadakhlo or Bagratashen), Turkey (via Sarpi) and Azerbaijan (via Red Bridge). Each cross-border route requires a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the car owner and an extended insurance policy — both are arranged by the provider. Filter cars by 'Cross-border allowed' and add the destination country at checkout.

Yes. The Georgia catalogue includes cars that accept cash, a debit card or a credit card for the deposit, plus a large share of cars that require no deposit at all. Use the 'Payment method' filter in search or check the 'Deposit' block on each car card to see which methods that specific car accepts.

Depends on the provider. Most hold the deposit in USD or EUR (the amount shown on the car card is usually in USD). A few hold it in GEL. For card blocks, your bank will convert at its own rate — check with the provider at pickup if you want the exact currency. Cash deposits (where supported) are typically accepted in USD, EUR or GEL; choose whichever you have on hand.

Between December and February, winter tyres are strongly recommended — and on mountain roads (Gudauri, Kazbegi, Bakuriani, Svaneti) they're effectively necessary. In the catalogue, a separate 'Winter tyres' equipment option is available on most cars during the season. Chains may also be required on some mountain passes.

Traffic fines in Georgia are registered against the car's number plate, so they go to the rental provider first. You'll receive the charge plus a small administrative fee (typically USD 15–30). Fines can appear 1–3 weeks after the rental ends, so keep your payment card valid for that period.

Driving in Georgia tends to be more assertive than in Western Europe: overtaking on blind curves, inconsistent use of indicators, and tailgating are common. Road fatality rates have been rising — drive defensively, keep extra distance, and start long trips early in the morning (before 09:00) when roads are quieter. Avoid night driving outside cities: many rural roads lack lighting and line markings fade.
