Car rental
Car Rental in Georgia
Drive yourself or add a private driver: economy hybrids to 4x4s and 8-seat minivans
Rent a car in Georgia with or without a driver: we hand it over at Tbilisi, Kutaisi or Batumi airport or at your hotel, and you return it in any of the three cities. Georgia is a good country to see by car: Kazbegi, Kakheti and Borjomi are a few hours from Tbilisi, and the road west runs on to Kutaisi and the Black Sea.
Pick a car below. The prices are per car per day in US dollars, with one price for the quiet months and one for summer and early autumn. Send us your dates and where you want the car, and we reply with the car we have for you and the total. Nothing to pay now.

With a private driver
Any car above can come with a driver who knows the roads, for $50 a day on top of the car. You pay for fuel either way. When the driver stays overnight away from home, add $35 a night for their bed and meals. For a one-way ride, such as from the airport to your hotel, a transfer is simpler.
Included in the price
- Basic insurance (CDW) and third-party liability
- Unlimited kilometres within Georgia
- Handover and return at Tbilisi, Kutaisi or Batumi airport, or at your hotel in those cities
- A second driver and a child seat on request, at no extra cost
- Winter tyres from December to March
Rental terms
- Drivers must be 21 or older and have held their licence for at least 2 years. Visitors can drive on their home licence for up to a year from arrival; if it is not in Georgian or Latin letters, bring an International Driving Permit or a certified translation.
- A refundable deposit of $150 for economy cars and sedans and $300 for SUVs, 4x4s and minivans, returned when the car comes back.
- Full cover with no excess: $10 a day.
- Returning the car in another of the three cities (for example, picking up in Tbilisi and leaving it in Batumi): $60.
- Driving to Armenia needs our written permission, arranged in advance. Cars cannot be taken to Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia, Abkhazia or South Ossetia.
- The road to Tusheti is open only in summer and only to 4x4 cars, with our permission.
How it works
- Send us the pick-up and return dates, the city or airport, the car you would like and whether you want a driver.
- We reply with the car we have for you and the total price, and confirm the booking only when you agree. Nothing to pay now.
- We meet you with the car at arrivals or at your hotel, go through it with you and hand over the keys. The deposit is paid at the handover.
Questions travellers ask
How much does it cost to rent a car in Georgia?
Economy hybrids cost $25–$40 a day, depending on the car and the season, and 4x4s $35–$170. For 7 days or more the daily price is 15% lower. Every car's prices are listed above.
Is it easy to drive in Georgia?
The main highways between Tbilisi, Kutaisi and Batumi and the roads to Kakheti and Kazbegi are paved and in good condition. Local driving can be fast and assertive, and cows on the road are common in the countryside, so allow more time than the map suggests and avoid driving mountain roads after dark.
What are the main driving rules in Georgia?
Traffic drives on the right. Speed limits are 60 km/h in towns, 90 km/h outside them and 110 km/h on motorways, and the alcohol limit is 0.3‰. Headlights must be on in signed tunnels. There are no road tolls. Speed-camera fines go to the car's owner, so they reach you through us, sometimes weeks after the trip.
Do I need a 4x4?
Not for the cities, Kakheti, Borjomi, Kazbegi or Mestia: those roads are paved. You need a real 4x4 for gravel tracks such as the Juta and Truso valleys and the road to Tusheti, and it helps on the road to Ushguli after rain.
Can I drive the Georgian Military Highway to Kazbegi in winter?
Yes, with the winter tyres that come with the car from December to March. The Jvari Pass can close for hours to 1–3 days after snow; check the road before you set off, and we can tell you if it is open.
What do I need to rent a car, and how old must I be?
Drivers must be 21 or older and have held a licence for at least 2 years. Bring your passport, your licence and the deposit; if the licence is not in Georgian or Latin letters, add an International Driving Permit or a certified translation.
Can I drive a rental car to Armenia?
Yes, with our written permission and the documents the border asks for; tell us at least 3 days before you go and we include the permit in your quote. Azerbaijan's land border is closed to travellers, and cars cannot be taken to Turkey, Russia, Abkhazia or South Ossetia.
Can I rent a car with a driver?
Yes. Any car can come with a driver for $50 a day on top of the car price, plus fuel. If you also want the driver to guide you, a private tour with a driver-guide is the better fit.
