Crossover car rental in Tbilisi
Looking for crossover car rental in Tbilisi? We have 11 crossovers on this page, all five-seat petrol automatics, from $39 to $69 per day, with weekly rates from $234 and monthly from $819. We deliver the car to any address in Tbilisi and to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and Kutaisi International Airport (KUT), and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Which crossover fits your trip with Crossover car rental in Tbilisi
The 11 crossovers in our fleet all seat five, run on petrol and shift for themselves, so the real question is not whether a car fits your trip but which one does. This section lines up the class against the alternatives, the drivetrain against the road, and two models side by side.
Crossover or SUV for driving around the city
For a family of five with luggage, the boot matters more than the class name — measure the load bay against your actual cases before you choose, not the badge on the tailgate.
Automatic gearboxes and five seats as standard
Every crossover we supply has an automatic gearbox and five seats, so there is no manual-only trap and no need to count seatbelts. If your licence is automatic-only, say so when the booking is agreed with a manager — it costs nothing to match the car to the licence.
Crossover car rental in Tbilisi prices and longer bookings
Crossover hire runs from $39 to $69 per day across 11 cars, and the longer you book, the lower the daily figure works out. Weekly bookings start at $234 and monthly bookings at $819.

A week is charged as six days and a month as twenty-one, so the longer booking is where the saving sits. On the cheapest cars a week lands at $234 and a month at $819; on the $69 cars the same multipliers put a week at $414 and a month at $1,449.
What the rental agreement sets out
The deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in the rental agreement, not fixed on this page. We agree the booking with a manager before it is confirmed, and that is the moment to have those four lines read back to you: the deposit, the excess, what delivery costs for your address, and whether a discount applies to your dates. Delivery to any address in Tbilisi, to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and to Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) is part of the service, with the address, date and time agreed with the manager beforehand. Delivery anywhere else is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.
What every crossover in our Tbilisi rental fleet shares
Every one of the 11 crossovers we keep for the Georgian capital is built to the same brief: petrol, automatic, five seats. That is the whole class in one line, and it is why you can book by price and boot size rather than by hunting through specification sheets.
Petrol, automatic and five seats across the fleet
All 11 crossovers in our fleet run on petrol, all have an automatic gearbox and all seat five. Petrol currently sits at 4.06 ₾ a litre against 4.76 ₾ for diesel, so the cheaper pump fuel is also the one every car here takes — no awkward conversation at a filling station about which nozzle fits. Check the boot, not the badge: a family of five travelling with hard cases will feel the load bay long before they feel the horsepower.
Front-wheel or all-wheel drive
Nine of the eleven crossovers are all-wheel drive; the Buick Encore and the Hyundai Tucson are front-wheel drive. Both drivetrains are automatic and both seat five, so the choice comes down to where you plan to go rather than what you plan to carry.
- Buick Encore: front-wheel drive, 138 hp, $39 a day — the cheapest way into the class.
- Chevrolet Trax: all-wheel drive, 140 hp, $39 a day, the same money with a driven rear axle.
- Kia Sportage: all-wheel drive, 132 hp, $39 a day, a sound pick for the mountain routes.
- Volkswagen Tiguan: all-wheel drive, 150 hp, $39 a day, the most powerful of the four at that price.
- BMW X1: all-wheel drive, 192 hp, $69 a day, the badge-led choice at the top of the range.
The practical point is that all-wheel drive is not a mountain permit on its own. Winter tyres are compulsory in Georgia from 1 December to 1 March, and on a snowy Jvari pass they matter more than which axle is driven — so match the car to the season, not only to the road.
Book your Crossover car rental in Tbilisi with home delivery
We bring the car to you rather than asking you to collect it. Under our terms, delivery covers any address in Tbilisi, plus Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and Kutaisi International Airport (KUT). The address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed — nothing is dispatched on a guess.
Where we deliver a crossover
- Any address in Tbilisi: your hotel, an apartment in Vake or Saburtalo, or a private flat — give the manager the address when you book.
- Tbilisi International Airport (TBS): the airport sits 17 km south-east of the city centre, and the drive in by road is the same 17 km.
- Outside these points: delivery is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so raise it with the manager before you count on it.
What is agreed before the car arrives
Four lines decide what the booking actually costs, and all four sit in the rental agreement rather than on this page: the deposit, the insurance excess, the delivery fee and any discount. Ask the manager to confirm each one before the booking is fixed.
The fuel rule is ours and it is simple: the car comes clean with a full tank and must go back with a full tank, full-to-full. 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 delivery changes the first day
Landing at TBS at 21:00 with three bags and two children is the case where delivery earns its keep — the car is waiting instead of you queueing at a desk.
Picking between two crossovers at the same price
Four of our eleven crossovers cost $39 a day and seven cost $69 — so the real choice is rarely about money. It is about which engine, which drivetrain and which boot you want for the roads you have planned.
Two crossovers at $39: Buick Encore and Kia Sportage
The Buick Encore and the Kia Sportage both cost $39 a day, yet they are built for different trips. The Encore is front-wheel drive with 138 hp, which is plenty for the city and the main highways. The Sportage pairs all-wheel drive with 132 hp — less power, more grip. If you are heading for gravel or a wet mountain pass, the Sportage earns its place.
Two crossovers at $69: Mazda CX-5 and Mini Countryman S
At $69 a day, the Mazda CX-5 and the Mini Countryman S F60 ALL4 sit side by side on price and nowhere else. Same money, different trip.
- Seats: all eleven crossovers seat five, so the fifth passenger is never the reason to upgrade.
- Drivetrain: front-wheel drive covers city streets and the main highways; all-wheel drive pays off on gravel and in the mountains.
- Power: the range runs from 132 hp in the Kia Sportage to 203 hp in the Toyota RAV4.
- Fuel: every car in the fleet is petrol and automatic, so the running cost stays predictable.
- Boot: the class name tells you nothing about luggage space — open the tailgate before you book.
- Airport runs: a shorter body is easier at the kerbside when you arrive at TBS after a night flight.
How we help you choose
Tell the manager what you are planning — a week in the city, a loop to Kazbegi, a run down to Sighnaghi — and we will point you at the two or three cars that actually fit. The booking is agreed with a manager before it is fixed, and the deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fees are set out in the rental agreement rather than guessed at here. Check that the boot closes with the pram inside.
Driving a crossover rental in Tbilisi and beyond
Our crossover car rental is built for exactly that split: five-seat automatics from $39 a day, delivered to your address, with the booking agreed with a manager before anything is fixed.
City streets, parking and the first hour behind the wheel
Street parking is zonal: the first 15 minutes are free, then it runs from 1 ₾ an hour, paid through the Tbilisi Parking app or at a terminal. A fine for unpaid parking is 50 ₾, and a towed car costs 150 ₾ plus 20 ₾ a day in storage — cheap enough to ignore once, expensive enough to remember. Underground car parks in the centre are the simpler answer: around 2–3 ₾ an hour near Freedom Square, about 7 ₾ a day at Rike, and roughly the first hour around 2 ₾ at Galleria Tbilisi.
- Built-up areas: 60 km/h, dropping to 20 km/h in residential zones under Article 33, part 6.
- Outside built-up areas: 90 km/h for category B, 110 km/h on motorways, 80 km/h with a light trailer.
- Seatbelts: compulsory for the driver and all front passengers; rear belts are not required by law.
- Phone: hands-free or speaker only, with both hands on the wheel.
- Children: under three years old, in a child seat or restraint matched to height and weight on the rear seat.
- Fines: 50 ₾ for 15–40 km/h over the limit, 150 ₾ above that, 30 ₾ for a phone, 40 ₾ for a belt, 500 ₾ for driving without a licence, with a 20% discount if paid within 10 days.
Winter rules and the roads out of the city
Winter tyres are mandatory from 1 December to 1 March, and in government-defined zones under special weather conditions chains are required on at least two front wheels. That matters on the S3, the Military Highway: 139 km from Mtskheta to the Russian border at Stepantsminda, past Zhinvali, Ananuri, Pasanauri and Gudauri, topping out at the Jvari Pass at 2,379 m. From Freedom Square the numbers are straightforward — 26 km to Mtskheta, 66 km to Ananuri, 121 km to Gudauri, 153 km to Stepantsminda, 109 km to Sighnaghi and 98 km to David Gareja. Georgian roads carry no tolls: the Roads Department stated on 10.06.2026 that use of the country's international and domestic roads remains free of charge, and the 52 km Rikoti section on the east–west E60 — 51 tunnels, 97 bridges, four lanes, opened 29.12.2025 — is free as well. Above Gudauri the Jvari Pass closes when avalanche risk is high, so check conditions the morning you leave rather than the night before.
Documents, fuel and the rental agreement
What you need at hand, what the tank costs and what the paperwork sets out — three things worth settling before the keys change hands.
Licence, passport and the Georgian rule on foreign permits
Foreign driving licences are valid in Georgia for up to a year from your date of entry, and no exchange is required. If your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic characters, bring an International Driving Permit or a notarised translation — Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention. Age and driving experience are agreed when booking, as is the deposit. Check the script on your card before you fly — a permit ordered in advance costs far less time than one arranged after arrival.
Fuel: full-to-full and what petrol costs here
Every crossover we supply comes with a full tank and must go back full. If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. We offer no other fuel option — no pre-paid tank, no full-to-empty. All 11 crossovers in our fleet run on petrol, which is the cheaper pump fuel in Georgia: 4.06 ₾ a litre against 4.76 ₾ for diesel, a gap of roughly 17%. Fuel up before you hand the car back.
Insurance, deposit and the four lines to confirm
The deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts are not fixed on this page — they are set out in the rental agreement. Third-party liability cover for locally registered cars is not yet compulsory for owners here, and theft of personal belongings sits outside standard cover, so keep bags out of sight when the car is parked. Full cover for the car, the driver and passengers is available as an option. A few more things worth knowing before you drive:
- Speed limits: 60 km/h in built-up areas, 20 km/h in residential zones, 90 km/h outside towns and 110 km/h on motorways.
- Seat belts: required for the driver and front passengers; rear belts are not compulsory by law, though we would still fasten them.
- Alcohol: the limit is 0.3 ‰ (0.03%), so a single drink before driving is not worth the risk.
- Winter tyres: mandatory from 1 December to 1 March, and chains on at least two front wheels in government-designated zones in poor weather.
- Fines: exceeding the limit by 15–40 km/h costs 50 ₾, over 40 km/h costs 150 ₾, and a 20% discount applies if paid within 10 days.
- Parking: from 1 ₾ an hour with the first 15 minutes free, paid through the Tbilisi Parking app or at a terminal.
