Many tourists come to Georgia thinking they will limit themselves to the capital, a wine tasting in Kakheti, or, for example, a trip to the Black Sea coast. But once you have a car, the picture changes. Having your own vehicle turns a vacation into a true road trip, where your time belongs only to you. You can set off at dawn to the Jvari Monastery, stop along the way at a viewpoint overlooking the old capital Mtskheta, and continue the route to the snow-capped peaks of Kazbegi without worrying about schedules.
Georgia’s roads are improving every year, and by 2026, it takes only 3–4 hours to reach Stepantsminda and Gergeti Trinity from Tbilisi via the highway. However, the most interesting places in our country lie off the main roads – small villages with wooden towers in Svaneti, the windy plateaus of Javakheti with volcanic lakes, wineries in Kakheti, and the mountainous region of Racha with monasteries and vineyards. Buses don’t go there, and minibuses (marshrutkas) in 2025 were finally limited to a 150 km range. Our clients note that a trip to villages like Shuakhevi or Girevi in Khevsureti in a 4×4 rented from us was the highlight of the entire trip – the route via the Abano Pass offers breathtaking views and a real sense of adventure.
Places You Can Only Reach by Your Own Car
Want to see true wilderness and silence? Here are a few destinations that have no public transport:
- Ushguli and Mestia in Svaneti – high-mountain villages with defensive towers, where life flows as it did hundreds of years ago. The road is narrow and may be closed in winter, but in a rented all-wheel-drive vehicle, this adventure becomes a pleasure.
- Kakheti beyond Signagi – the wine villages of Napareuli, Tsinandali, and Kvareli. Winemaking here remains a family affair, and only with your own transport can you visit small estates, sit in the courtyard with the owners, and taste wine from a qvevri.
- The cave cities of Uplistsikhe and Vardzia. Tourist buses go only to the main sites; if you want to stop at the lesser-known Vanis Kvabebi Monastery or enjoy canyon views, you will need your own car.
- Racha and Lechkhumi – remote villages with ancient monasteries. Our regular clients – a family from Vilnius – told us that thanks to our 4×4, they reached Salkhino Monastery and Tabatskuri Lake, where there is no civilization, and chose how long to stay fishing.
- Tusheti and Khevsureti – the most remote regions of Eastern Georgia. The road via Abano Pass is accessible from May to October, requires confident driving, and only all-wheel-drive vehicles. There are no buses, and organized tours are expensive; however, with your own SUV, you can stop in any village, climb to the Shatili Fortress, or spend the night with locals.
- The Black Sea coast and the mountains of Adjara – Batumi can be reached by train, but you won’t visit Sarpi beaches, tea plantations, or Merisi hot springs without a car.
These places are often mentioned in guides as “hidden gems,” but they can only be reached via dirt roads. We not only provide suitable vehicles, but also share trusted routes and contacts for local guides.
Convenience and Comfort of Car Rental in Every Way
Your Schedule
Georgian minibuses run on a schedule, which should be seen more as a recommendation. Drivers stop at their discretion, don’t accept cards, and are often overcrowded. With your own car, you forget about schedules: you leave at a convenient time, take breaks for photos or picnics, avoid traffic, and choose scenic detours. Many of our clients, especially families with children, note that being able to stop for a toilet break or snack whenever needed saves nerves and makes the trip much more enjoyable.
Comfort and Safety
We are often asked whether it is dangerous to drive in Georgia. Yes, the local driving style is bold, but this is exactly why renting a car gives you more control. You choose the speed, maintain distance, and decide where to stop. Our vehicles have ABS, airbags, air conditioning; for families, we provide child seats. Regular diagnostics, seasonal tire changes, and insurance are included. In case of emergencies, we offer 24/7 support: our managers can tell you the nearest service station, hotel, or gas station.
Personal Space
Even good public transport cannot compare to the space of your own car. Strollers, suitcases, hiking gear, and flea market souvenirs fit in the trunk. Groups of friends travel together, not in separate bus rows; you can talk, listen to music or podcasts, and plan the next day on the go. One of our regular clients, Andrei from Kyiv, shared how convenient it was to transport surfboards and wine boxes purchased at the Telavi festival – impossible in a taxi.
Cost-Effective for Long Routes and Groups
At first glance, renting a car may seem more expensive than a bus ticket. But if you travel for several days, especially in a group, the cost is shared among passengers, and expenses for taxis and organized tours disappear. A one-day trip to Kakheti by taxi can cost as much as renting a car for three days. Moreover, we have no hidden fees: insurance, a second driver, 24/7 support, and unlimited mileage are included. We offer seasonal discounts – for example, in the off-season, economy-class rentals start from 30 USD per day.
Easy Pickup and Return
We understand that every minute counts on vacation. That’s why we have pickup points at Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi airports, deliver the car to your accommodation, or pick it up wherever convenient. The process is fast, with no deposits or credit holds; all documents are clear and transparent. Guests arriving at night can schedule a meeting with our representative, who will wait with a sign. For those who prefer to plan ahead, we create personalized routes and advise on the best vehicle type.
