Why rent a car in Georgia
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.
TakeCars connects you directly with verified local car owners across Georgia. Every listing shows real photos, and the price you see includes insurance, delivery, and all taxes — locked in before you book.
What travelers actually do with their rental cars
- Piotr 🇵🇱 drove from Kutaisi via Borjomi and Yerevan to the Iranian border, then back through Sevan, Tbilisi, and Gori. 1,500 km in 3 days. "It's not the same distance like in flat Europe, full of motorways."
- Maciej 🇵🇱 rented a 4x4 for two weeks. Drove to Ushguli, Omalo, and Vashlovani — all off-road, no problems. The owner gave him a SIM card and a gas cartridge on arrival.
- Virginie 🇳🇱 went from sunny Kutaisi to snow and ice near Mestia. "The car took us everywhere without any problems."
- Anant 🇹🇭 spent 10 days road-tripping in a Subaru Forester with photography gear. "The car was unexpectedly large enough for all the stuff we had to carry."
- Michal 🇨🇿 took a Jeep Renegade to the mountains in winter. Discovered you need AWD just to park at some hotels. "If it snows or you want to explore the area, forget about it with a regular car."
- Max 🇵🇱 did Kutaisi–Martvili–Mestia–Ushguli–Tbilisi in 4 days. Over 1,000 km in a Mitsubishi Outlander. No issues.
Where to rent
Georgia's main tourist routes connect three hubs: Tbilisi in the east, Kutaisi in the center, and Batumi on the Black Sea coast. Most visitors pick up at one of three airports — Tbilisi Airport (TBS), Kutaisi Airport (KUT), or Batumi Airport (BUS) — or in the city center. One-way rentals between cities are available from many owners on TakeCars.
Pick up at the airport, in the city, or at your hotel

🕐 24/7 support
Our team speaks English and is available around the clock. If anything comes up — a breakdown, a parking fine, a route question — you're not on your own.
What you should know before driving
🅿️ Download the parking app before you drive in Tbilisi. You'll get fined or towed if you don't pay through the app. One renter couldn't figure it out — his owner drove over and sorted the tickets himself.
📸 Watch out for speed cameras. They're everywhere on main highways, and fines are issued automatically. Andrej 🇨🇿 picked up two fines in 16 days — one for an illegal turn (20 GEL) and one for speeding (50 GEL). You may not even know until you return the car.
🛞 Check your tires before you leave. This is the most common issue in winter. Mismatched tires, worn tread, bald rubber on mountain roads — it all comes up. If you're heading to Mestia or Gudauri, inspect the tires at pickup and ask the owner to swap them if needed.
📍 Download offline maps. Google Maps and Maps.me don't always work well in Georgia — wrong pins, missing roads. Save your route offline and confirm the pickup point with your owner on WhatsApp before you land.
🚗 Pick the right car for your route. Going to Tusheti? You need a real 4x4 with low range — a Subaru won't cut it. Staying on highways between Tbilisi and Batumi? A Prius will save you a fortune on fuel. Heading to Svaneti on gravel roads? They're brutal, but a proper 4x4 handles them fine.

What owners have done for renters
This is the part that surprises most first-time renters on TakeCars. You're not dealing with a counter — you're dealing with a person.
- Elizaveta 🇷🇺 — her owner helped her get a SIM card and find a bank on day one.
- Henry 🇩🇪 — got stuck in Mestia due to a rockslide. His owner called the road department multiple times to keep him updated.
- Azlam 🇦🇪 — couldn't download the Tbilisi parking app. His owner drove over and sorted the tickets.
- Andrej 🇨🇿 — his owner helped him pay traffic fines at Kutaisi Airport minutes before his flight.
- Ivan 🇨🇾 — his owner met him at 4 AM at the airport for the return.
- Pablo 🇩🇪 — his owner helped pay the city parking fee through the local app.
Driving basics
Georgia drives on the right. Speed limits: 60 km/h in cities, 90 km/h on open roads, 110 km/h on highways. Blood alcohol limit is 0.03% — effectively zero tolerance.
Main roads between major cities are in good condition. Mountain roads (Gudauri, Mestia, Stepantsminda) are paved but narrow with sharp turns — 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
Fuel and parking
Fuel stations are plentiful along main routes. Stick to Wissol, Gulf, or Socar for consistent quality. Most are full-service — an attendant fills your tank. Expect 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 Third Party Liability at no extra cost. For broader protection:
- Collision Damage Waiver — covers damage to the rental car, excluding windscreen, tires, and underside.
- Super Collision Damage Waiver — covers all damage including windscreen, wheels, and undercarriage.
- Full Damage Waiver — zero liability. The most comprehensive option.
Cars with Collision Damage Waiver or higher typically require no deposit — look for the "Zero Deposit" label in listings.

在佐治亚州租车需要多少钱?
Car rental prices in Georgia follow a clear seasonal pattern. Winter (January–March) offers the lowest rates — good for ski trips to Gudauri or Bakuriani. Prices climb from May through August as tourism peaks, especially in July–August when Batumi and the mountain regions are busiest. September–October (wine harvest in Kakheti) stays busy but slightly cheaper than midsummer.
Book 2–4 weeks ahead to save 10–15%, especially in high season when popular models sell out.
Economy cars (Kia Picanto, Toyota Yaris) start from around ₾65/day. SUVs and crossovers run ₾90–150/day. Rentals of 7+ days bring the daily rate down. Andrej 🇨🇿 rented a Prius Hybrid for 16 days in July — about $27/day including delivery from Tbilisi to Kutaisi Airport.
格鲁吉亚的租车价格取决于季节、汽车级别和提前预订的时间。经济型轿车(起亚 Picanto、丰田 Yaris)的起价约为₾65/天,而越野车和跨界车的价格通常为₾90-₾150/天。租用时间超过 7 天,日租金会大幅下降。

格鲁吉亚租车问题
Many car owners offer free delivery to Tbilisi Airport (TBS). Delivery fees, if any, are shown on each listing — typically ₾0–₾40 for Tbilisi airport pickup. Kutaisi (KUT) and Batumi (BUS) airport pickups are also available. Reviewers consistently praise owners for waiting even when flights are delayed — one owner drove from Tbilisi to Kutaisi airport at no extra charge.
超级 CASCO 承保所有损坏,包括玻璃、车轮和车身底部。实车照片确保您所见即所得。
Deposit policies vary by owner. Many cars on TakeCars are listed with zero deposit — look for the "Deposit ₾0" label. When a deposit is required, it's typically ₾500–₾2,000 depending on the car class, paid in cash at pickup and fully refunded on return. Always photograph the car before and after your rental to avoid disputes — this is the single most useful tip from our reviewers.

January–March for the lowest prices and ski access (Gudauri, Bakuriani). May–June and September–October for the best weather and moderate pricing — September and October are especially popular for Kakheti wine harvest trips. July–August is peak season with highest prices but ideal for the coast and mountains. Book 2–4 weeks ahead in summer — popular models sell out fast.
Winter tires are mandatory on mountain passes from December 1 to March 1. If you're renting during winter months, confirm with the owner that the car is equipped. Several winter reviewers specifically mention checking tire condition — bald or worn tires on mountain roads are the most common complaint in negative reviews. Don't be afraid to ask for photos of the tires before you arrive.
您通常会得到您在网站上看到的汽车,但有时也会有例外。没有存款选项。
