Top tips for hiring a car in Georgia
- You will find that traffic is busier in and around Tbilisi and along the Georgian Military Highway to Kazbegi. If you head northwest, you will drive into the Caucasus Mountains, which offer quiet and scenic roads. You will need to take the steep and winding roads from Zugdidi to Mestia, which takes about 3 h.
- When you rent a car in Georgia, if you are traveling with children who are under eight years old, they will need to be safely seated in a child car seat or booster seat. You should consider bringing your own car seat with you on the plane, as you will require it for travel to and from the airport. You’re able to rent a car seat from your car hire agency as well.
- If you plan to cross the Georgian border into neighboring countries, you will need to check with your car hire agency first, because you may not be allowed to take your car to certain countries. You will incur an additional border-crossing certificate, which costs around 136.75 ₾ ($50). When you cross the border, you will also be required to carry a car passport to prove your rental car’s registration.
- Renting a car in Georgia is the most comfortable way to see the country. If you want to experience the Silk Road that passes through Georgia and connects Europe to Asia, the best way to do this is by car. You will need to rent a four-wheel drive if you will be visiting remote locations like Svaneti or Tusheti; otherwise, a saloon or compact car is suitable for Georgian roads.
