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.

The most popular cities for car hire in Georgia

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. However, serpentine mountain roads and dashing daredevils ignoring traffic rules may be somewhat annoying. Be careful with both.

Please follow the regulations. There are many speed cameras and traffic officers in the country. Foreign traffic offenders are fined as readily as locals.

Parking

Parking facilities are paid in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, and Batumi, while other options may be available in other cities. You pay for parking at a bank terminal and put the receipt under the windshield.

Parking attendants wearing vests do not work for a parking company and are not responsible for your car. They help to park vehicles and safeguard parking spaces on a voluntary basis. If a parking attendant was helpful, you can leave a tip, it’s up to you.

Filling stations

We recommend refuelling your hire car at large filling station networks. They offer a better quality of fuel and a higher level of services.

If you can’t find a familiar filling station network, this simple lifehack will help you find good and affordable fuel — choose a filling station used by taxi and truck drivers.
