Car rental at Kutaisi Airport

One step above the $30 Economy hatchback sits our Crossover class: 11 cars from $39 a day, with the all-wheel-drive Kia Sportage and Volkswagen Tiguan in the same bracket. Rent-Trip runs 73 cars on this page, from $30 to $250 per day, and we deliver the car to any address in Tbilisi and to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and Kutaisi International Airport (KUT), with the delivery address, date and time agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

Can you rent a car at Kutaisi Airport and drive to Tbilisi

We deliver to KUT, to TBS and to any address in the city, so the pick-up point is your choice, not ours. The delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

Yes, car rental at Kutaisi Airport in Tbilisi is possible

We deliver the car to Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) or to any address in Tbilisi, so you can land at KUT and drive the 241 km to the capital yourself. Kutaisi International Airport sits 14 km west of Kutaisi and handled 1,722,809 passengers in 2024; it has been a Wizz Air base since 02.2016. Agree the delivery time with a manager before the booking is fixed, not on landing day.

Kutaisi Airport or Tbilisi — where to pick up

Pick up at KUT if you land there and want the car from day one; pick up in Tbilisi if you fly into TBS — we deliver to both, and the choice changes the first drive, not the daily rate. Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is 17 km south-east of the centre and handled more than 5.4 million passengers in 2025, up 13.7 %, so a TBS hand-over is the shorter first leg of the two.

What the first drive involves

• Fuel: petrol was 4.06 ₾ and diesel 4.76 ₾ per litre on 21.09.2026, and diesel runs about 17 % dearer, so a diesel SUV costs more per fill on this run.
• Documents: a foreign licence is valid for up to a year from your date of entry into Georgia and does not need exchanging; if yours carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic script, bring an IDP or a notarised translation.

The fleet on this route covers everything from a Ford Fiesta at $30 a day to a Porsche Cayenne S at $250, with 34 SUVs and 4x4s from $69 for the mountain stretches and 11 crossovers from $39 for the run itself.

How car rental at Kutaisi Airport works with delivery

We bring the car to you rather than parking it at a desk and waiting. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, so the hand-over happens where you actually are.

Where we deliver a Kutaisi Airport car rental in Tbilisi

• Any address in Tbilisi: a hotel, a guesthouse, a private flat, an office — the exact address is confirmed with a manager when you book.
• Kutaisi International Airport (KUT): the car waits for you at the terminal, so the 241 km to the capital is your first drive.
• Tbilisi International Airport (TBS): the same arrangement for arrivals who land in the capital instead.
• Outside the city and these two airports: arranged case by case, and not promised on the site — ask before you book, not after.
• Changes to the plan: a different hotel or a delayed flight is a message to the manager before the date, because the address is fixed before the booking, not at the terminal.

Hand-over, fuel and the state of the car

The car comes clean with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank (full-to-full). If it comes back short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. No other fuel option — a pre-paid tank or full-to-empty — is offered. Petrol was 4.06 ₾ and diesel 4.76 ₾ per litre on 21.09.2026, and diesel runs about 17 % dearer.

Cars on this page by class

If your trip continues towards Kazbegi or Gudauri, take the 7-seat Nissan Pathfinder or Mazda CX-9 — the extra seats matter more than the badge. Tell the manager which class you want and where to bring it; the rest is settled when booking.

What car rental at Kutaisi Airport in Tbilisi costs

On this page we have 73 cars from $30 to $250 per day. Weekly bookings start at $180 and monthly bookings at $630, and the class you choose sets the price long before anything else does.

Daily rates by class

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

Hiring at Kutaisi Airport in Tbilisi starts at $30 per day and runs to $250; weekly bookings start at $180 and monthly at $630. A Ford Fiesta at $30 a day works out at $180 for the week, and a Porsche Cayenne at $120 comes to $2,520 for the month. The arithmetic is the same for every class, from the single Mini Cabrio at $69 to the single Minivan at $190.

What the cheapest and the dearest cars on this page are

• Ford Fiesta — $30 per day: Economy hatchback, 5 seats, petrol, automatic, front-wheel drive, 85 hp; the cheapest way onto this page.
• Ford Fiesta SE — $35 per day: the same body with 120 hp, still Economy, still automatic.
• Toyota Prius — $35 per day: Economy liftback, 5 seats, hybrid — the only hybrid in the list.
• Kia Sportage and Volkswagen Tiguan — $39 per day: Crossover with all-wheel drive, 5 seats, petrol.
• Porsche Cayenne S — $250 per day: SUV & 4x4, petrol, all-wheel drive, 440 hp — the top of the range here.
• Minivans — $190 per day: the 7-seat Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo.

What changes the price

Class and body type move the rate more than anything else. Economy sits at $30–$39 across nine cars, while the 34 SUV & 4x4 vehicles start at $69 and reach $250 for the Porsche Cayenne S. Seats matter too: 4-seat Mini Cooper and Hyundai Veloster stay in Economy at $35–$39, but a 7-seat Nissan Pathfinder or Mazda CX-9 starts at $69. The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, so ask the manager for the full figure before you confirm, not after.

Choosing your car rental at Kutaisi Airport in Tbilisi by trip

The class you book decides how the 241 km from Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) to the capital feels, not how much paperwork it takes. We keep 73 cars on this page across nine classes, from $30 to $250 a day, and the right one depends on where you are going after you land.

Match the class to the road you are driving

• Economy from $30: the cheapest way to cover the Kutaisi–Tbilisi highway; Ford Fiesta, Toyota Prius, Honda Fit and Kia Soul all run on petrol or hybrid with automatic gearboxes.
• SUV & 4x4 from $69: 34 cars, from the 7-seat Nissan Pathfinder to the Lexus RX350 and Porsche Cayenne, for Kazbegi, Gudauri and Borjomi.
• Premium from $80: BMW 320 and Mercedes-Benz CLS 550 for business travel where the car is part of the impression.
• Sports from $69: BMW 328i and 328i M Style, rear-wheel drive, for drivers who want the mountain road to themselves.
• Convertibles from $69: the Mini Cabrio, one car, best booked early in the season.

How long you book changes the class you can afford

Rates fall into place once you look at the week rather than the day. A weekly booking starts at $180 and a monthly one at $630, because a week is charged as six days and a month as twenty-one — so the same budget reaches a class or two higher on a longer period. If your plans are still loose, tell the manager the rough length when you book; the class and the dates are settled together, and the deposit, insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted here.

Where the car takes you from the capital

Kazbegi sits 153 km from Freedom Square, Gudauri 121 km, Borjomi 160 km and Bakuriani 184 km, and the S3 to Stepantsminda crosses the Jvari pass at 2,379 m, where the upper sections close in snow and landslide weather. That is the argument for all-wheel drive and a 7-seat SUV rather than a hatchback: winter tyres are compulsory from 1 December to 1 March, and chains are required on at least two front wheels in government-defined zones during special weather.

Documents and driving rules for car rental at Kutaisi Airport in Tbilisi

Georgia keeps the paperwork light: a foreign licence is valid for up to a year from your date of entry, and no local exchange is needed. The rules below are the ones that actually matter on the 241 km between Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) and the capital, and they are the same for every car we hand over.

Licence, passport and what a manager agrees with you

• Foreign licence: valid in Georgia for up to 1 year from your date of entry, with no exchange required.
• IDP or translation: needed only if your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic script — Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention.
• Passport: the document the company asks for alongside a valid driving licence.
• Deposit and age: the minimum age, any young-driver surcharge and the deposit are agreed when booking, not fixed by law.
• Territory: a self-drive car stays in Georgia; the only trip abroad is to Armenia with our driver, and the land border with Azerbaijan stays sealed to cars.

We hand the car over clean and with a full tank, and it comes back the same way — full-to-full, with the missing fuel and a refuelling fee charged as set out in the rental agreement.

Speed, seat belts and the alcohol limit

Winter tyres, child seats and the phone

Winter tyres are compulsory from 1 December to 1 March, and in zones the government designates, chains on at least the two front wheels under specific weather conditions. Children under 3 travel in the rear in a seat or restraint matched to height and weight, or on the lap of a passenger aged 16 or over; a child under 6 is never left alone in a parked car. Phones work through a headset or hands-free only, both hands on the wheel.

Fuel, parking and tolls on a Kutaisi Airport car rental in Tbilisi

Fuel: petrol, diesel and the full-to-full rule

The car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank. Petrol was 4.06 ₾ per litre and diesel 4.76 ₾ per litre on 21.09.2026, so diesel costs about 17 % more at the pump. Every car on this page takes Automatic transmission and runs on Petrol, Diesel or Hybrid.

Parking: what street parking costs

• Payment channels: the Tbilisi Parking app, on-street machines and terminals, and the parking.tbilisi.gov.ge portal.
• Penalties: an unpaid parking fine is 50 ₾, and a towed car costs 150 ₾ plus 20 ₾ per day of storage.
• Covered car parks: Freedom Square around 2–3 ₾ an hour, Rike around 7 ₾ a day, Orbeliani Square around 1–2 ₾ an hour.

Tolls: Georgia's roads are free

All international and domestic roads in Georgia are free of charge, and the Roads Department confirmed on 10.06.2026 that this stays as it is — no vignettes, no transponders, no boom gates. The Rikoti pass on the E60, opened 29.12.2025 with 52 km of road, 51 tunnels and 97 bridges, is free as well. That matters for a Kutaisi arrival: the 241 km drive to the capital costs you fuel and nothing else.

What to budget for a week

Booking car rental at Kutaisi Airport in Tbilisi with a manager

What the manager needs from you

• Delivery address: a hotel, an apartment or any other address in the city, given in full with the entrance and the street.
• Rental dates: the day and hour you want the car and the day and hour you return it, since the price is calculated per day.
• Car class or model: pick from the 73 cars on this page, from the $30 Economy class up to the $250 range, or name a model and we check availability.
• Driver's documents: a passport and a valid driving licence — if the licence is not in Latin or Cyrillic script, an international driving permit is needed as well.

How the confirmation works

You send the request, and a manager comes back with the car, the exact delivery time and the total for your dates.

What to check before you confirm your Kutaisi Airport car rental

Delivery details

• Address: give the exact street and building, or the terminal at Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) or Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) — we deliver to any address in the city and to both airports.
• Date and time: state the flight number and landing time, because KUT is a Wizz Air base since 02.2016.
• Outside the city: delivery beyond the city and the two airports is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so ask before you assume it.
• Agreement: the rental agreement sets out the deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee, so read those lines before you sign off on the dates.

Car and route

Match the class to the road, not to the price. On this page we list 73 cars from $30 to $250 per day: 34 SUV and 4x4 from $69, 11 crossovers from $39, 9 economy from $30, 5 sedans from $39, 5 premium from $80, 4 sports from $69, 3 comfort from $39, 1 convertible from $69 and 1 minivan from $190. Every car is automatic, with 4, 5, 7 or 8 seats and petrol, diesel or hybrid under the bonnet. For Kazbegi, Gudauri or Bakuriani in winter, take all-wheel drive and check the tyre rule: winter tyres are required from 1 December to 1 March, and chains on at least two front wheels may be needed in government-designated zones in special weather.

Fuel and paperwork

The car comes clean with a full tank and goes back full — full-to-full, and no other fuel option is offered. If you return it short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Petrol stood at 4.06 ₾ and diesel at 4.76 ₾ per litre on 21.09.2026, with diesel about 17 % dearer, so a first stop at a fuel station is part of the plan rather than a surprise. Bring a passport and a valid driving licence; if your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic script, an IDP or a notarised translation is needed, since Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention. The minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, and the cards accepted are agreed when booking (a self-drive car stays in Georgia) — ask your manager rather than reading them off the site.
