Ford car rental in Tbilisi
Ford car rental in Tbilisi starts at $30 per day, with three Fords on this page: two Economy hatchbacks and one Comfort SUV, all automatic and petrol. We deliver the car to any address in Tbilisi, to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and to Kutaisi International Airport (KUT), with the address, date and time agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Which Ford Models You Can Rent in Tbilisi
Rent-Trip keeps three Fords on this page: two Economy hatchbacks and one Comfort SUV. All three run on petrol with an automatic gearbox and five seats, so the choice comes down to class, power and drivetrain rather than body size.
The Three Fords in Our Fleet
Rent-Trip offers three Ford models — the Ford Fiesta, the Ford Fiesta SE and the Ford Explorer — and every one of them is automatic, petrol and five-seat. The Fiesta is the entry point at 85 hp, the Fiesta SE lifts that to 120 hp, and the Explorer is the Comfort-class SUV with 290 hp and all-wheel drive. All three take five passengers, all three are hatchback or SUV bodies rather than saloons, and none of them asks you to work a clutch in city traffic.
Fiesta or Fiesta SE — What Actually Differs
Both are Economy hatchbacks with 5 seats, petrol and automatic, front-wheel drive; the Fiesta SE adds 120 hp against 85 hp and costs $5 a day more. Same body, same drivetrain, same five-seat cabin — the difference sits entirely under the bonnet. At $30 a day the Ford Fiesta is the cheapest way into a Ford on this page; the Ford Fiesta SE at $35 a day buys you 35 hp more.
When the Explorer Is the Right Ford
The Ford Explorer is our only Comfort-class Ford and the only all-wheel-drive one, with 290 hp and a $65 daily rate.
Ford Rental Rates in Tbilisi by Class and Model
Ford rental in Tbilisi runs from $30 to $65 per day, with weekly rates from $180 and monthly from $630. Two Economy Fords and one Comfort Ford sit in the fleet, and the table below shows exactly what each one costs.
| Class | Model | Body | Seats | Fuel | Transmission | Drive | Power | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | Ford Fiesta | Hatchback | 5 | Petrol | Automatic | Front-wheel | 85 hp | $30/day |
| Economy | Ford Fiesta SE | Hatchback | 5 | Petrol | Automatic | Front-wheel | 120 hp | $35/day |
| Comfort | Ford Explorer | SUV | 5 | Petrol | Automatic | All-wheel | 290 hp | $65/day |
Daily, Weekly and Monthly Ford Rates
A week of Ford rental starts at $180 and a month at $630, calculated as six and twenty-one daily rates. The Ford Fiesta SE follows the same logic from $210 a week and $735 a month, while the Ford Explorer starts at $390 a week and $1,365 a month. The longer the booking, the lower the daily figure you are effectively paying.
What the Weekly and Monthly Rate Covers
A Ford Fiesta at $30 a day becomes $180 for a week and $630 for a month; a Ford Explorer at $65 a day becomes $390 and $1,365. Nothing about the car changes between the three rates — same model, same automatic gearbox, same five seats, same petrol engine, full-to-full fuel. The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are separate from the rate and are set out in the rental agreement.
Booking a Ford Rental in Tbilisi with a Manager
Booking a Ford here is not a checkout button — it is a conversation. We confirm the model, the dates and the delivery address with you before anything is fixed, because three cars means three different answers to «is it free that week».
How the Booking Is Agreed
A Ford hire in Tbilisi is fixed with a manager, who confirms the model, the dates and the delivery address before the booking is set. You tell us which of the three you want — the Ford Fiesta at $30 a day, the Ford Fiesta SE at $35 or the Ford Explorer at $65 — and we tell you whether it is available for your window. What the manager settles is the practical side — when the car reaches you, where, and under which terms.
What Is Agreed When You Book
- Deposit and insurance excess: the amounts are set out in the rental agreement, not quoted in advance over chat.
- Territory: a self-drive car stays in Georgia; a trip to Armenia goes only with our driver.
- Payment: how you pay is settled at booking rather than published here.
- Driver's age and licence: the minimum age and the paperwork you need are confirmed with the manager, since rules differ by driver.
Why We Do It This Way
We deliver the car to any address in the city, to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and to Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) — and delivery outside those points is arranged case by case, which is exactly the kind of thing a manager has to confirm rather than a form. A Ford Explorer needed in Kazbegi on a Saturday is a different request from a Fiesta needed in Vake on a Tuesday, and we would rather ask than assume. Bring the question, and we will give you a straight answer.
Documents and Drivers for a Ford Rental in Tbilisi
What You Need to Drive a Ford
A passport and a current driving licence are the two documents a rental company in Georgia asks for, and the licence has to be readable in Latin or Cyrillic script. If your licence is printed in Arabic, Chinese or any other non-Latin, non-Cyrillic script, bring an International Driving Permit or a notarised translation — Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention, so both are recognised. The minimum age and driving experience are agreed when booking, along with the deposit, which is set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted in advance.
Documents for Cross-Border Trips
- Azerbaijan: the land border has been closed to passengers since 2020, and only the Tbilisi–Baku passenger train resumed on 26 May; you cannot drive a rental car across.
- Licence and passport: carry both originals on any out-of-town run — Kazbegi, Gudauri and Sighnaghi sit 109–153 km away.
Speed limits are 60 km/h in built-up areas, 20 km/h in residential zones, 90 km/h outside towns and 110 km/h on motorways, and the fines scale with the excess — 50 lari for 15–40 km/h over, 150 lari above that.
Delivery and Hand-over of Your Ford Rental in Tbilisi
We bring the car to you rather than asking you to come to a counter. Every Ford is handed over at an address you choose, and the date, the time and the exact spot are settled with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Where We Deliver a Ford
- Any city address: hotel, apartment, guesthouse or private flat — the address is agreed when booking, and the car arrives there.
- Tbilisi International Airport (TBS): 17 km south-east of the centre by road, the busiest arrival point in the country, with over 5.4 million passengers recorded in 2025.
- Outside these points: delivery elsewhere is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.
What the Hand-over Involves
The car comes clean and with a full tank, and it goes back the same way — full-to-full. If the tank is not full on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are also written into that agreement rather than quoted here.
Checking the Ford Before You Drive Off
- Body and glass: walk the car once with the engine off and note any mark you did not expect.
- Controls: automatic transmission, petrol engine, five seats — the selector and the lights are worth a two-minute check.
- Tyres: winter tyres are compulsory from 1 December to 1 March, so confirm the car is shod for the season you are driving in.
Driving a Ford Rental in Tbilisi and Across Georgia
Georgia drives on the right, and the whole country runs on petrol and diesel priced in lari rather than dollars — fuel is the one running cost you will pay yourself, since our cars go out full and come back full.
Speed Limits and Rules You Will Actually Use
- Built-up areas: 60 km/h, dropping to 20 km/h in residential zones under Article 33, paragraph 6 of the traffic law.
- Outside towns: 90 km/h for category B, 110 km/h on motorways, 80 km/h with a light trailer.
- Seat belts: required for the driver and all front passengers; rear belts are not compulsory by law.
- Phone: hands-free or speaker only, both hands on the wheel, under Article 21.
- Children under 3: carried in the back in a seat or restraint matched to height and weight; a passenger aged 16 or over may hold the child on the rear seat.
- Alcohol: 0.3 ‰ (0.03 %) — treat it as zero.
What Fuel and Roads Cost
Georgia charges nothing for its international and domestic roads: the Roads Department confirmed on 10.06.2026 that use of them "remains free of charge", with no change planned, and no vignettes or transponders exist. The 52 km Rikoti section of the E60 east–west route, opened 29.12.2025 at a cost of about 2.6 billion lari, carries 51 tunnels and 97 bridges across four lanes and is free as well. Fill up before you leave the city.
Parking and Mountain Roads
Street parking in the capital is zonal: from 1 lari an hour with the first 15 minutes free, paid through the Tbilisi Parking app or a terminal. Underground car parks in the centre charge differently — around 2–3 lari an hour at Freedom Square, roughly 7 lari a day at Rike, 1–2 lari an hour at Orbeliani Square. From 1 December to 1 March winter tyres are compulsory, and chains on at least two front wheels in government-designated zones during bad weather. The Military Highway to Stepantsminda runs 139 km from Mtskheta to the Russian border through Zhinvali, Ananuri, Pasanauri and Gudauri, topping out at the 2,379 m Jvari Pass. Upper sections see landslides and snow, and the pass closes when avalanche risk is high — check conditions the morning you leave, not the night before.
Trips Worth a Ford Rental in Tbilisi
A Ford with five seats and a full tank opens the day-trips that make the city a base rather than a destination. Distances below are measured from Freedom Square, so you can judge what fits a morning and what needs a full day.
The Short Runs
- David Gareja: 98 km southeast on the semi-desert border with Azerbaijan; the last stretch is gravel.
The Mountain Roads
The Military Road to Kazbegi runs 153 km from Freedom Square, past Ananuri and Gudauri at 121 km, over the Jvari pass at 2,379 m and down to Stepantsminda. Gudauri sits at 2,200 m and normally takes 2–2.5 hours each way. In winter, winter tyres are mandatory from 1 December to 1 March, and chains on at least two front wheels may be required in government-defined zones. Check the road status the morning you leave, not the evening before.
Borjomi is 160 km and Bakuriani 184 km, Vardzia 225 km — a full day, and one worth starting early. One-way to Batumi is 358 km and is arranged when you book; Yerevan is 274 km, and a rental car goes there only with our driver.
Which Ford for Which Route
Fuel is petrol at 4.06 lari a litre, and Georgia's international and domestic roads stay free of charge, so a 200 km day costs you fuel and nothing else.
Ford car rental in Tbilisi, what to know before booking
Three Fords, one booking rule: the model, the dates, the delivery address and the rate are all agreed with a manager before anything is fixed. Below are the answers that save the most back-and-forth.
What the Rate Does and Does Not Include
- Daily, weekly, monthly: from $30 a day, from $180 a week, from $630 a month — weekly is six daily rates, monthly is twenty-one.
- Fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and goes back full (full-to-full); we do not offer a pre-paid tank or full-to-empty.
- Deposit, insurance excess, delivery fees and discounts: set out in the rental agreement, not quoted here.
- Delivery: to any address in the capital and to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and Kutaisi International Airport (KUT); outside those, case by case.
- Extras: child seats and an additional driver are agreed when booking.
Documents, Age and Territory
Bring a passport and a valid driving licence. If your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic characters, you need an International Driving Permit or a notarised translation — Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention. The minimum age, the young-driver surcharge, and the cards we accept are agreed when booking, so raise them early rather than at hand-over.
A trip to Armenia is possible only with our driver; the Sadakhlo–Bagratashen crossing sits about 70 km south of the city. Azerbaijan's land border has been closed to passengers since 2020, so a Ford cannot be driven in that direction.
Two Things Worth Knowing Before You Drive
Parking in the capital is zonal and paid: from 1 lari an hour after the first 15 free minutes, via the Tbilisi Parking app or a parking meter. An unpaid session is a 50 lari fine, and towing adds 150 lari plus 20 lari a day for storage.
Winter tyres are compulsory from 1 December to 1 March. If you are heading for Gudauri or Kazbegi, that window matters more than the model you pick.
