Getmancar offers a wide selection of vehicles across all categories: from fuel-efficient sedans to powerful 4x4 SUVs that are essential for Georgia's mountain roads.

Affordable car rental at Tbilisi Airport starts with simple online booking on the Getmancar website. No need to stand in lines or fill out paper contracts – everything is handled remotely in just minutes.

Step 1. Choose Your Vehicle and Rental Dates

On our website, enter your pickup and return dates, then select the appropriate class from our fleet. The system automatically calculates the total cost based on rental duration – the longer you rent, the better the rate.

Step 2. Complete Your Booking and Pay Online

Fill in your contact details, specify your exact arrival time and preferred pickup location (airport, city office, or delivery address). Pay with a card – the advance payment secures your chosen vehicle.

Step 3. Pick Up Your Car After Landing

For airport delivery, our representative will meet you in the arrivals area with a sign, escort you to the vehicle, and hand over the keys with a full tank. The entire handover process takes 10-15 minutes, and you're ready to hit the road.

Rental Terms and Conditions at Tbilisi Airport

Self-drive car rental in Georgia is standard practice, and most travelers prefer this option. It gives you complete freedom in route planning, the ability to stop at scenic spots, and significantly reduces costs (hiring a car with a driver costs an additional 100-150 lari per day). Getmancar specializes in self-drive rentals – you get the vehicle, round-the-clock phone support, and explore Georgia on your own.

To rent a car, you'll need a driver's license (national or international) and a passport. Minimum driver age is 21 with at least 2 years of driving experience.

Unlike many competitors, we don't charge a Young Driver Fee for drivers under 25.

A few more important conditions:

Vehicles are provided with a full tank and must be returned with the same fuel level
Smoking in vehicles is strictly prohibited
Pets are allowed as long as the interior remains clean
Cross-border travel is only permitted to Armenia with a ₾400 Green Card insurance supplement

Deposit and Payment

The refundable deposit ranges from ₾300 to ₾1,000 depending on the vehicle class. You can pay the deposit in cash (lari) or by bank card. Unfortunately, we don't offer rentals without a deposit, but after returning the vehicle undamaged, the full deposit is refunded within 1-3 business days.

Mileage and Excess Kilometers

Rentals of 1-3 days include 250 km per day, with excess mileage charged at ₾0.30 per kilometer. If you book for 3 days or more, mileage becomes unlimited with no extra charges for kilometers. This is crucial for those planning to circle Georgia: from Tbilisi to Batumi, then to Svaneti and back through the wine region of Kakheti.

Delivery and Pickup at Shota Rustaveli Airport

Getmancar operates three pickup locations: Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi. If you prefer to collect your vehicle directly at the airport, we'll arrange delivery at any time – 24/7 car rental at Tbilisi Airport is available for all flights, including red-eye arrivals. Delivery to Tbilisi International Airport costs $20, to Kutaisi Airport also $20. For delivery to a city address, the fee is $10.

Returns happen at the same location where you picked up the car, or in a different city – one-way rentals from Tbilisi to Batumi are available for just $10 extra. This is convenient for travelers planning a linear route across Georgia without returning to the capital.

The distance from the airport to downtown Tbilisi is just 17 km (20-25 minutes' drive). Many search for information about taxis from Tbilisi Airport to the city center – the ride costs ₾25-40. Meanwhile, renting a Honda Fit at Tbilisi Airport for 4 days starts at ₾75 per day, which is more economical if you plan to move around the city and surrounding areas actively.

SUV rental at Tbilisi Airport is one of the most popular requests among tourists planning trips to Georgia's mountainous regions. Roads to Ananuri Fortress, Gergeti Trinity Church in Stepantsminda, or the remote Truso Gorge require vehicles with good clearance. In winter, 4x4 car rental at Tbilisi Airport becomes essential for trips to Gudauri and Bakuriani ski resorts – narrow serpentines and snowy sections are safer to navigate in a Jeep Wrangler, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, or Ford Escape.

If your route includes only cities and paved highways, cheap car rental at Tbilisi Airport with a Honda Fit or Hyundai Elantra is a smart choice – fuel consumption is just 4-6 liters per 100 km.

Traveling with a large group or family? Minivan rental at Tbilisi Airport solves the challenge of comfortably seating 7-8 passengers with luggage. The spacious cabin and generous cargo area make minivans a versatile solution for long routes across Georgia.

Popular Destinations: Where to Drive from Tbilisi Airport

Georgia is a land of contrasts where you can travel from subtropics to high mountains in just a couple of hours. Car rental at Tbilisi Airport opens access to all major tourist routes without being tied to public transportation schedules.

The transfer from Tbilisi Airport to Gudauri is the most requested winter route for skiers and snowboarders. The 120 km distance takes 2-2.5 hours by SUV along the scenic Georgian Military Highway. Organized transfers cost ₾50-80 per person, but it's more economical to rent a Ford Escape (₾140/day) and drive yourself with stops at Ananuri Fortress.
The transfer from Tbilisi Airport to Kazbegi is a popular year-round destination with stunning mountain landscapes. The drive to Stepantsminda (the village at the foot of Mount Kazbek) takes about 3 hours. Along the way, stop at the turquoise Zhinvali Reservoir, medieval Ananuri Fortress, and the Gudauri observation deck with panoramic views of the Caucasus range.
The trip to Batumi across Georgia is perfect for those wanting to drive from the capital to the Black Sea. The 370 km route passes through the resort town Borjomi with its mineral springs, ancient Akhaltsikhe and the magnificent Rabati Fortress, ending on the subtropical coast. One-way returns in another city cost just $10 – far more convenient than driving back to Tbilisi.
