Car rental at Kutaisi Airport

Provide your flight and arrival time when booking — the car is brought to the terminal. The airport is small and easy to navigate, so the meet-up is quick. Documents: passport and licence.

Delivery is usually tied to your flight — if it’s delayed the car is brought for the actual arrival. The airport handles many low-cost carriers and operates around the clock, including night flights, so a night meet-up is workable too.

Kutaisi Airport sits conveniently between the sea and the city. To Kutaisi — about 20 minutes. To Batumi — about 2 hours (~120–130 km on a good road). To Tbilisi — 3–3.5 hours (~230–250 km). If you’re flying a low-cost carrier for the sea, you can skip Kutaisi entirely and head straight to the coast.

Yes, return to Kutaisi Airport is available for many cars — arrange the time in advance.

From $30 a day plus usually a surcharge for airport delivery. The total is on the site before booking.

Yes, online with your flight number. Given that there aren’t many cars on hand at the airport at any moment, booking in advance is the most reliable option.

A passport and a driving licence — that’s enough. Georgia doesn’t require an International Driving Permit; all that matters is that your first and last name on the licence are also written in Latin letters.

No. Georgia accepts national licences — the key is that your name and surname are duplicated in Latin letters. You don’t need to get a separate International Driving Permit.

Most cars on MY.DRIVE are available from age 21 with at least 2 years of driving experience. Some models have a higher bar (23–25) — you’ll see it in the terms of the specific car before booking.

It varies by car. Many cars require no deposit at all, others do; the exact amount and terms are shown on the car’s page before you confirm the booking. You can filter for no-deposit options if that matters to you.

Usually insurance is already included, and for most cars so is unlimited mileage. The full price is shown on the car’s page before booking — no “extra charges on the spot”. Check the specifics in each car’s terms.

On most MY.DRIVE offers mileage is unlimited, but some rates come with a cap — check the terms of the specific car. This matters especially on long trips like Tbilisi–Batumi or a loop around Kakheti.

No. Taking any of our cars outside Georgia is prohibited. Note separately that visiting Abkhazia and South Ossetia is both forbidden and effectively impossible.

A few destinations are off-limits for rentals — hard-to-reach mountain regions: Tusheti (Omalo), Khevsureti (Shatili, Mutso), the road to the Truso Valley, the Vashlovani reserve, and the Trans-Adjarian road Khulo–Goderdzi. There’s either no proper road there or it’s dangerous for a passenger car. Everywhere else in the country is fine.

Yes, MY.DRIVE has plenty of automatics — the gearbox type is shown on the car’s page and you can filter by it right away. An automatic is fine for mountain routes too, but on steep climbs it’s nicer to have some power in reserve, so don’t pick the weakest engine.

Usually yes — a child seat is often available on request, sometimes for a small extra fee. Mention it when booking so the seat is definitely in the car at pickup.

No. Any off-roading — leaving public roads for rough terrain or river fords — is prohibited on all cars, and insurance doesn’t cover such trips. Reach even mountain sights via normal roads; if a place can only be reached off-road, people use local transport there.

First, contact the rental provider — the details are in your contract, and MY.DRIVE support will help you get your bearings. In an accident, document it by the rules (call the patrol police, take photos), otherwise insurance may not apply. The exact steps and coverage depend on the insurance you chose — check at the booking stage. Don’t try to hide damage: using the insurance will definitely be cheaper than paying for repairs yourself.

Pick your dates and pickup location, find a suitable car and submit a request — confirmation comes quickly. If your plans change, support is available on Telegram and by phone.
