This cover is especially important when driving on mountain roads in Georgia and on long routes.

What You Should Know About Renting a Car in Georgia
When you rent a car in Georgia, many companies offer extra options that make travelling around the country even more convenient and safe. Before you book, check which services are available so you can choose the best option for your trip.
🔧 Extra services
👶 Child car seat
If you are travelling with children, you can book a child car seat in advance that suits your child's age. It provides extra safety and comfort on the road.
👥 Second driver
For a long drive or a multi-day trip, you can add a second driver. This lets you share the driving and makes the journey more comfortable.
🚘 Car delivery
Many companies offer delivery of the car to your hotel, the airport or any convenient place in the city. This is handy if you want to save time and start your trip right after landing.
💳 Rental without deposit
In some cases car rental without a deposit is available. It is usually offered with extended insurance or certain rental rates.
🧳 Roof racks
If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, you can order a roof rack, which adds space for bags.
🔁 One-way rental
Some companies offer returning the car in a different city. For example, you can pick up a car in Tbilisi and drop it off in Batumi or Kutaisi.
🌍 Cross-border trips
Sometimes trips outside the country are allowed, for example to Armenia or Azerbaijan, but such trips must be agreed with the rental company in advance.
⚠️ Important rental rules
🏔 Off-road driving is not allowed
Most rental cars are not designed for off-road driving. Trips on mountain gravel roads or difficult routes may be restricted by the rental terms.
🚫 Where you cannot drive
Rental companies prohibit travel to Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as these areas are considered high-risk zones and are not covered by insurance.
🚔 Liability in case of a road accident
If you are involved in a road accident, you must contact the rental company and call the police immediately. The driver's liability depends on the type of insurance and the excess amount.
📄 Traffic fines
Any fines received during the car rental are paid by the driver who was behind the wheel at the time of the violation.
Car rental is one of the best ways to see the real Georgia.
Freedom of route lets you visit ancient towns, mountain passes, wine regions and hidden natural spots in a single trip, places that are hard to reach by public transport. That is why road trips around Georgia have become the most popular type of holiday among travelers. ✨ 🚗
Tips for travelers before renting a car
Check the car and record its condition
Before you pick up the car, inspect it carefully from all sides: body, glass, wheels, bumpers and interior. If you notice scratches, chips or other damage, make sure they are noted in the rental agreement. It is also recommended to take photos or a short video of the car at pick-up, to record its condition and avoid possible disputes when you return it.
Read the insurance terms carefully
Before you sign the contract, check what insurance the rental includes. It is important to understand what the insurance policy covers, whether there is an excess, and which cases may not be covered. This will help you know in advance your level of liability in case of an accident or damage.
Pay attention to parking rules
In big cities, especially in Tbilisi and Batumi, paid street parking applies. Before you leave the car, make sure parking is allowed and, if needed, pay through the app or at the parking machine to avoid fines.
Mind the mountain roads
Georgia is a mountain country, so many roads run through hairpin bends, mountain passes and narrow mountain sections. If you plan trips to mountain regions, it is better to choose a more powerful car or a crossover, especially if you travel with luggage or in a group.
