How much does car rental cost in Georgia, and what do you need?
Seasonal prices, documents, deposit and insurance.
Short answer
Car rental prices in Georgia depend heavily on season, car class and duration: summer and holidays cost more, while off-season and week-plus rentals make the daily rate much cheaper. You usually need a passport, a driving licence, to be at least 21-23 and a deposit, either blocked on a card or paid in cash. Basic insurance is usually included.
Why
- Foreign licences are valid in Georgia for a year from entry.
- For mountain areas such as Svaneti and Tusheti, take a 4x4.
- Local rental firms are often more flexible than international ones.
Details
When collecting the car, photograph all scratches and check the fuel level. Ask whether cross-border travel is allowed and whether there are mountain road restrictions.
Tip
Book ahead in summer and on holidays, and check whether zero-excess insurance and unlimited mileage are included.
What may differ
Prices differ noticeably between international and local firms, and airport rentals are usually dearer than in town.
