Cadillac car rental in Tbilisi
The Cadillac Escalade from Rent-Trip in Tbilisi is supplied with a full tank and returned full — the one Cadillac on this page, an eight-seat, all-wheel-drive SUV with a 409 hp petrol engine and automatic transmission, from $160 per day.
What the Cadillac Escalade gives you on a rental in Georgia's capital
Everything below — seats, fuel, drivetrain, power, price — describes that single car and nothing else.
Cadillac Escalade specs at a glance
| Model | Class | Seats | Fuel | Transmission | Drivetrain | Power | Price per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cadillac Escalade | SUV & 4x4 | 8 | Petrol | Automatic | All-wheel | 409 hp | $160 |
Who the 8-seat Escalade suits
- Groups of up to eight: one car replaces two, and the driver stays with the luggage instead of splitting the party across a convoy.
- Travellers who want one vehicle for the whole trip: a single booking covers the city, the day trips and the return leg.
Cadillac car rental in Tbilisi prices and what the rate covers
One rate, three ways to book it, and the terms that sit in the rental agreement rather than on this page. Here is what the Escalade costs and what the money actually covers.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates for the Escalade
| Period | Rate | Equivalent days |
|---|---|---|
| One day | $160 | 1 |
| One week | $960 | 6 |
| One month | $3,360 | 21 |
What the rental agreement sets out
Cadillac car rental in Tbilisi is quoted per day, and everything beyond that rate — the deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts — is set out in the rental agreement, not fixed on this page. The same agreement carries the fuel rule and the return conditions, so nothing about the cost arrives as a surprise at hand-over.
The full-to-full fuel rule
The car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank, and no other fuel option is offered. That is the whole fuel policy — no pre-paid tank, no full-to-empty arrangement. Petrol in Georgia runs at 4.06 lari per litre and diesel at 4.76 lari per litre as of 21.09.2026, with diesel roughly 17 % dearer, so a full tank on the Escalade is a real line in your budget. Fill up before the last leg back into the city rather than hunting for a station near the drop-off point. If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
Why the longer rate works out lower
A week is charged as six days and a month as twenty-one, so the effective daily cost drops the longer you keep the car. At $160 per day the weekly rate of $960 and the monthly rate of $3,360 are simple multiples of that same figure — there is no separate tariff to decode. Planning the mountain legs and the wine-country days back to back makes the most of the weekly rate. Fuel and parking stay outside the rate and are yours to manage, which is why the parking tariff below is worth reading before you commit to a month.
How to book a Cadillac car rental in Tbilisi and pick it up
We bring the car to you, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before anything is fixed.
How the booking is agreed with a manager
You send the dates and the address, and a manager confirms the delivery slot before the booking is fixed. The same conversation settles the deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts — all of them sit in the rental agreement rather than on this page. The Escalade is one car, so a date in the ski season or over a long weekend can already be taken; ask for two alternative slots in the first message.
Where we hand the Cadillac over
- Tbilisi International Airport (TBS): we deliver the car here, 17 km south-east of the centre and the busiest arrival point in the country.
- Kutaisi International Airport (KUT): also a delivery point for this car, 241 km west of the capital by road.
- Any address in the city: a hotel, an apartment or a private house — the hand-over happens where you are staying.
- Outside the city and the two airports: arranged case by case and not promised on the site, so ask the manager before you plan around it.
- What you receive: the car clean and with a full tank, so the first stop is your route, not a filling station.
Documents for Cadillac car rental in Tbilisi and driving rules
Driving in Georgia on a foreign licence is straightforward, but the paperwork and the road rules are two separate things to get right before you collect an eight-seat Escalade. Here is what we ask for, what the law says, and the limits that actually matter on a car this size.
- Driving licence: a valid licence in Latin or Cyrillic script is enough; a licence in any other script needs an International Driving Permit or a notarised translation.
- Deposit: the amount is agreed when booking and is set out in the rental agreement, never fixed on this page.
- Age and experience: the minimum age, the young-driver surcharge and the cards accepted are agreed when booking — they are not a rule of Georgian law and we do not state them as one.
- Territory: a self-drive car stays in Georgia; a trip to Armenia goes only with our driver.
Foreign licences and the Georgian rule
A foreign driving licence is valid in Georgia for up to one year from your date of entry, and no exchange is required. If your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic characters, you need an International Driving Permit or a notarised translation, because Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention.
Speed, seat belts and the rules that catch drivers out
The limit is 60 km/h in built-up areas and 20 km/h in residential zones under Article 33(6), rising to 90 km/h outside built-up areas for category B and 110 km/h on motorways under Article 33(7b), with 80 km/h when towing a light trailer. Seat belts are required for the driver and all front passengers; rear belts are not compulsory by law under Article 21(9). Phones are hands-free only, both hands on the wheel. Children under three travel in a child seat or restraint matched to height and weight, and a child under six may not be left alone in a parked car.
Alcohol, winter tyres and fines
The alcohol limit is 0.3 per mille (0.03%). Winter tyres are mandatory from 1 December to 1 March, and in zones designated by the government, in specific weather, chains are required on at least two front wheels. Speeding by 15–40 km/h carries a 50 lari fine and over 40 km/h a 150 lari fine, while a phone offence is 30 lari and an unpaid parking charge is 50 lari, with a 20% discount for payment within 10 days.
Fuel, parking and running costs of a Cadillac rental in Tbilisi
Below are the fuel prices, the parking tariff and the toll situation as they stand for a Cadillac rental in Tbilisi.
What fuel costs and what the Escalade takes
Petrol in Georgia averaged 4.06 lari per litre on 21.09.2026, while diesel stood at 4.76 lari — roughly 17% more expensive. The Cadillac Escalade runs on petrol, so the lower of the two prices is the one that applies to your booking. Fill the tank on the way out of the city.
Parking in the capital and on the road
- Street parking: zones charge from 1 lari per hour after the first 15 minutes free, paid through the Tbilisi Parking app or at a terminal.
- Fines and towing: an unpaid parking fine is 50 lari; collection adds 150 lari plus 20 lari per day of storage.
- Underground car parks: Freedom Square runs about 2–3 lari per hour, Rike about 7 lari per day, and the Galleria first hour about 2 lari.
Tolls, and what the rental agreement settles
Georgia's international and domestic roads remain free of charge, as the Roads Department confirmed on 10.06.2026, and no change is planned — there are no vignettes and no transponders to buy. The Rikoti pass on the east–west E60, opened on 29.12.2025 with its 52 km, 51 tunnels and 97 bridges, is free as well.
Trips worth taking in a rented Cadillac from Tbilisi
Distances below are measured from Freedom Square.
- Gudauri: 121 km, the ski resort at the Jvari Pass — usually 2–2.5 hours from the capital, and the road is part of the E117.
- Sighnaghi and Kakheti: 109 km east into the wine country, with Telavi at 93 km if you want the longer loop.
Kazbegi, Borjomi and the longer legs
Stepantsminda sits 153 km from the city along the S3, the same road that runs 139 km from Mtskheta to the Russian border and tops out at the Jvari Pass, 2,379 m. Upper sections see landslides and snow, and the pass closes when avalanche danger is high — so plan the mountain leg for the morning and leave the afternoon for the drive back. Vardzia, at 225 km, is the longest day run worth attempting in one go.
Crossing into Armenia, and what you cannot do
Sadakhlo–Bagratashen is the main border point, roughly 80 km south of the city and 70 km by road, with Ninotsminda–Bavra as the second option. Yerevan is about 280 km and 4–5 hours including the border, though OSRM measures 274 km — and a rental car goes there only with our driver. Azerbaijan is not an option: the land border has been closed to passengers since 2020, and though the Tbilisi–Baku passenger train resumed on 26 May, all other land points remain sealed.
Our Cadillac car rental in Tbilisi
The rate is $160 per day, $960 per week and $3,360 per month, and everything else — deposit, insurance excess, delivery fees, discounts — is set out in the rental agreement rather than hidden behind a headline number.
How the car arrives matters as much as the car.
- Delivery to you: we bring the car to any address in the city; the address, date and time are agreed with a manager when you book.
- Full-to-full fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and goes back full, so you pay for the fuel you actually burn.
- Straight answers before you commit: the terms that change the total are set out in the rental agreement, so you can read them before the dates are fixed.
