Car rental at Tbilisi Airport

When booking, provide your flight number and arrival time. The provider brings the car to the terminal and meets you at the exit — no need to search for anything. The airport is 15–20 km east of the centre, about 30 minutes into the city. Documents are standard: passport and licence (in Latin letters), no international permit needed.

As a rule, nothing to worry about — delivery is tied to your flight, and if it’s delayed the car is brought for the actual arrival time. Waiting terms may vary by car, so for a long delay it’s best to drop a note to support so everything goes smoothly.

Yes, return to TBS is available for many cars. Agree the time in advance and leave a buffer so you can drop the car off calmly and head to check-in. You can also return outside Tbilisi — handy if you arrived in one city and depart from another.

The rental itself is from $30 a day, plus usually a small surcharge for airport delivery. The total is shown on the site before booking. It’s noticeably cheaper than the international desks in the terminal, where prices usually start much higher.

The centre is 20–30 minutes away. Or you can skip the city entirely: the airport is on the eastern edge, a convenient start toward Kakheti (Sighnaghi ~1.5 h, Telavi ~2 h) or the Georgian Military Road to Kazbegi. If the plan is straight to the mountains or wine routes, a car at the airport saves you half a day.

That’s exactly what you should do. Book online with your flight number — and the car is waiting for you at the terminal exit, even at peak season when there may be no cars free at the moment.

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.
