For trips to the mountains, you should order winter equipment!
In Georgia, when the roads are covered in ice and snow, police may close some sections of roads to the cars with summer tyres. Police officers may require snow chains for driving on the road sections heavily covered in snow. That is why you need to choose a car with the “Winter Tyres” and “Snow Chains” options for your trips to mountainous areas between the 1st of December and the 1st of March. You can find all cars with the winter equipment by selecting the appropriate filter.

The demand for car rental services in Georgia

The higher the percentage of the car fleet workload, the earlier it is worth booking a car to choosing the best option at the best price.

Rental deposit in Georgia

When signing a rental agreement, you need to make a deposit. This is the maximum liability amount that you leave at the rental counter. When you book a vehicle on our website, your deposit will be from $100 to $200 (international rental companies will charge up to $1,000). If you return your hire car on time, in good and clean condition, and with the specified level of fuel, you will get your deposit back in full. If you paid in cash, your rental agent will return it in cash; if the deposit amount was blocked on your card, then it will be released by the bank within a few days. If your hire car is damaged, you pay the amount that does not exceed your deposit. For example, if a vehicle with a $100 deposit has damage of $1,000, then you will pay only $100, and the remaining amount of $900 will be covered by insurers. You can buy a “no deposit” paid service for some rental vehicles.

Where you should not drive your rental car

There are places in Georgia where you should not drive, even if you rent an SUV: You can’t drive your rental car to South Ossetia and Abkhazia because those territories are not controlled by the Georgian authorities and insurance is not valid there. The “Mestia - Ushguli - Lentekhi” road runs through a mountainous area with many steep and dangerous slopes. It is strictly prohibited to drive a rental car there. The “Akhaltsikhe - Batumi” road running through the Goderdzi Pass and the “Sairme - Abastumani” road are simply poor-quality roads that even locals try to avoid. Driving is not allowed in the regions of Truso, Juta, Vashlovani, Tusheti, Omalo, and Shatili.

Features of traffic rules in Georgia

Georgia uses traffic rules that are much similar to the international traffic regulations, so it is rather easy to drive there.

If a parking attendant was helpful, you can leave a tip, it’s up to you.
