Minivans car rental in Tbilisi
One step above a compact city car, a Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo 250 d 2.1 Diesel minivan gives you 7 seats, automatic transmission and 190 hp for $190 per day — the only minivan on this page.
What a minivan rental in Tbilisi costs
Prices for a minivan depend on how long you keep the car.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates for the minivan
| Class | Model | Seats | Fuel | Transmission | Rate per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minivans | Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo 250 d 2.1 Diesel | 7 | Diesel | Automatic | $190 |
Our minivan costs $190 per day, $1,140 per week and $3,990 per month. The weekly figure is the daily rate multiplied by six, and the monthly figure is the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one, so the longer the booking runs, the lower the cost of each day on the road. One car sits in the Minivans class — the Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo 250 d 2.1 Diesel — and it is the only vehicle we list here, which means availability is a question of dates rather than of choice between trim levels. If your travel window is fixed, the booking is worth confirming early.
What the rate includes and what the 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. What we can state plainly is that the car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank — the full-to-full rule — and that no other fuel option is offered. Everything else that carries a number sits in the agreement you receive. Before the booking is fixed, ask the manager to confirm the deposit, the excess, the delivery fee and any discount in writing.
The 7-seat minivan for Minivans car rental in Tbilisi
We run one minivan in Tbilisi — a Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo 250 d 2.1 Diesel with 7 seats, a diesel engine and an automatic gearbox. It is the only vehicle in the Minivans class on this page, so the choice is simple: this car or nothing.
The model, seats and drivetrain
Our minivan is a Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo 250 d 2.1 Diesel with 7 seats, a 2.1 L engine producing 190 hp and rear-wheel drive. It is a 7-seat minivan.
Automatic transmission and diesel
The minivan has an automatic transmission and runs on diesel, which at ₾4.76 per litre on 21.09.2026 is about 17 % dearer than petrol at ₾4.06. Fill up before you leave the city.
| Class | Model | Seats | Fuel | Gearbox | Price per day |

| Minivans | Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo 250 d 2.1 Diesel | 7 | Diesel | Automatic | $190 |
What the minivan is not
This is not a four-wheel-drive vehicle. If you are aiming at an unsealed pass in poor weather, tell the manager what you have in mind when you book — the answer may be a different class rather than this one.
Driving a minivan with Minivans car rental in Tbilisi
Licence, traffic side and speed limits
- Foreign driving licence: valid for up to 1 year from the date you enter Georgia, with no exchange needed — carry the original.
- Translation or IDP: if your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic script, bring an International Driving Permit or a notarised translation — Georgia is a party to the Vienna Convention 1968.
- Speed limits: 60 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h outside them for category B, 110 km/h on the motorway, and 20 km/h in residential zones.
- Phones: hands-free only — a headset or speaker, both hands on the wheel.
- Alcohol: the limit is 0.3 ‰ (0.03 %).
- Children: under 3, a child seat or restraint matched to height and weight on the rear seats; under 6, never left alone in a parked car.
Parking and fuel costs in the city
Street parking in the capital is zonal and costs from ₾1 per hour after the first 15 free minutes, paid through the Tbilisi Parking app or a kerbside terminal.
Fuel is straightforward: diesel cost ₾4.76 per litre on 21.09.2026, roughly 17 % more than petrol at ₾4.06. Our minivan runs on diesel and comes with a full tank; return it full and nothing extra is charged, or the missing fuel and the refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Roads across Georgia, including the 52 km Rikoti section of the E60 with its 51 tunnels and 97 bridges, remain free of charge — the Roads Department confirmed on 10.06.2026 that no tolls or transponders are planned.
Documents and requirements for renting a minivan
The paperwork for our minivan is short: a passport, a valid driving licence and a booking agreed with a manager. Everything else — the age and experience threshold, the deposit and the cards accepted — is settled when you book (a self-drive car stays in Georgia), not on this page.
What the driver needs to bring
- Driving licence: a foreign licence is valid in Georgia for up to 1 year from the date you entered the country, and no exchange is required.
- Translation if needed: if your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic script, bring an International Driving Permit or a notarised translation — Georgia is a party to the Vienna Convention 1968.
- The booking details: the delivery address, date and time you agreed with a manager, so the hand-over matches what was fixed.
Licence validity and what the law says
A foreign driving licence is recognised in Georgia, and the rules on recognising and exchanging it sit in the Law of Georgia on Road Traffic and in an order of the Minister of Internal Affairs. That is the legal basis — the practical reading for a driver is simpler: your own licence works, no local test, no local card.
Age, experience and the deposit
The minimum age and the minimum driving experience are conditions of the rental company, not rules of Georgian law, and the deposit is agreed in the same conversation.
Returning the car and leaving the country
The minivan is supplied with a full tank and must come back with a full tank — full-to-full is the only fuel option we offer, and anything missing is charged with a refuelling fee as set out in the rental agreement. A trip to Armenia goes only with our driver; a self-drive car stays in Georgia.
Insurance and cover for Minivans car rental in Tbilisi
Insurance is the line in a minivan rental that decides what a scratch costs you, and in Georgia the picture is unusual: there is no compulsory third-party cover for owners of locally registered cars.
What is compulsory in Georgia and what is not
- Third-party liability (OSAGO): not mandatory for owners of Georgian-registered cars as of 05.09.2026 — the government has scheduled its introduction for the autumn legislative session, with no date named.
- The vehicle is locally registered: our minivan carries Georgian plates, so the mandatory insurance regime for foreign-registered vehicles does not apply to it.
- Collision damage waiver (CDW): the cover a company sells as an option, not a state requirement — it limits what you pay for damage to the vehicle itself.
- Personal belongings: theft of bags, phones and cameras is not covered by standard insurance.
What the rental agreement sets out
The deposit, the insurance excess and the price of any cover upgrade are written into the agreement, not fixed on this page. Ask the manager to read those three lines back to you before the booking is confirmed, because the excess — the amount you pay out of pocket before the cover starts paying — moves the real cost of a minivan rental more than the daily rate does. Photograph the bumpers and alloys yourself before you drive off; a dated photo settles the argument faster than any wording in the contract.
Cover for the mountain routes
If your trip runs into the mountains between December and March, winter tyres are mandatory from 1 December to 1 March, and chains on at least the two front wheels may be required in government-designated zones under special weather conditions. Confirm with the manager what the agreement says about tyres and about driving outside Tbilisi before you leave the city — the answer belongs in the contract, not in a phone call later.
Delivery, hand-over and fuel for Minivans car rental in Tbilisi
We bring the minivan to you rather than asking you to collect it. 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 — a hotel in Vake, a flat in Saburtalo, or the arrivals kerb at the airport.
Where we deliver the minivan
- Any address in Tbilisi: the car arrives at the street address you give us, whether that is a hotel, a guesthouse or a private flat.
- Tbilisi International Airport (TBS): 17 km south-east of the city centre by road, and the arrivals kerb is a standard delivery point.
- Kutaisi International Airport (KUT): 241 km west of the city, also served as a standard delivery point for arrivals on the budget-carrier side.
- Outside these points: delivery is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so ask the manager before you book rather than after.
What is agreed before the booking is fixed
The delivery address, the date and the time are the three details the manager confirms with you, and they are confirmed before the booking is fixed. Everything else that carries a number — the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount — sits in the rental agreement and is not fixed on this page.
A booking made for a hotel that later changes, or for an airport terminal that turns out to be the wrong one, costs you a phone call and a wait.
Fuel: full-to-full
The minivan is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank. That is the only fuel option we offer — there is no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty arrangement on the site. If the car comes back short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
Diesel in Georgia was ₾4.76 per litre on 21.09.2026, roughly 17 % dearer than petrol, so a full tank on the 7-seat Marco Polo is worth budgeting for on a long run. Fill up before long runs out of the city.
The car is handed over clean and with a full tank, and that is the standard we ask for on return.
Trips a 7-seater from Minivans car rental in Tbilisi handles
The routes below suit the Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo.
Day trips that fit a full car
- Mtskheta: 26 km from Freedom Square, about 30 minutes each way.
- Sighnaghi and Kakheti: 109 km east to Sighnaghi, 142 km to Kvareli if you push further into the wine country.
Mountain routes where the diesel and the 7 seats pay off
Kazbegi, or Stepantsminda, sits 153 km from Freedom Square along the S3 — the Georgian Military Road through Zhinvali, Ananuri, Pasanauri and Gudauri, with the Jvari Pass at 2,379 m as the high point. Upper sections of the pass close when avalanche risk is high, so build a spare day into any winter plan. Vardzia at 225 km is the longest day trip on our list — realistic only if you leave early and accept a late return.
Cross-border and long-distance runs
Sadakhlo, the main border crossing into Armenia, is 70 km south of the city by the OSRM route; Yerevan is around 280 km and 4–5 hours including the border stop, and a rental car goes there only with our driver. Azerbaijan is not an option by road: the land border has been closed to passengers since 2020, and only the Tbilisi–Baku passenger train resumed on 26 May.
When a minivan is the wrong choice
If it is five or more with bags, the Marco Polo is the only vehicle on this page that fits everyone in one car.
