Nissan car rental in Tbilisi

If you need a Nissan car rental in Tbilisi for a family trip or a mountain drive, we have one vehicle on this page: the Nissan Pathfinder, a 7-seat petrol automatic with all-wheel drive, from $69 per day. We deliver the car to any address in Tbilisi and to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and Kutaisi International Airport (KUT); the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

The Nissan Pathfinder we rent out

Our Nissan car hire in Tbilisi comes down to one vehicle: the Nissan Pathfinder, a seven-seat all-wheel-drive petrol SUV with an automatic gearbox and 284 hp.

What you get with our Nissan Pathfinder

We hand over the Nissan Pathfinder, a 7-seat all-wheel-drive petrol SUV with automatic transmission and 284 hp, from $69 per day. Petrol is the only fuel type we offer on this car.

Seats, drive and fuel in plain numbers

• Drive: All-wheel drive through an automatic gearbox — no manual clutch work on a hairpin.
• Fuel: Petrol, at 4.06 ₾ per litre (21.09.2026), cheaper than diesel at 4.76 ₾.
• Class: SUV & 4x4.

SUV or sedan for a Georgia road trip

An SUV makes sense when your route climbs the S3 towards Kazbegi and Gudauri. The Georgian Military Highway runs 139 km from Mtskheta to the Russian border at Stepantsminda, through Zhinvali, Ananuri, Pasanauri and Gudauri, and its highest point is the Jvari Pass at 2,379 m. Pick the car for the hardest road on your itinerary, not the shortest one.

What the Pathfinder is not

The Nissan Pathfinder is not an economy city car and we do not present it as one. Before you fix the dates, tell the manager where you intend to drive — that one detail settles whether this SUV is the right car for your route.

What Nissan car rental in Tbilisi costs

One rate, three periods. The Nissan Pathfinder is the only Nissan on this page, so there is no class ladder to compare — what changes is the length of the booking and what the agreement adds on top.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

Deposit, excess and what the agreement covers

The deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in the rental agreement, not on this page. The Pathfinder is a seven-seat, all-wheel-drive SUV with a petrol engine and an automatic gearbox, so the rate covers the car itself and the terms around it are agreed when booking.

What the rate does not include

• Fuel: the car comes with a full tank and must go back full (full-to-full); the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
• Parking: zonal street parking in Tbilisi runs from 1 ₾ per hour after the first 15 free minutes, paid through the Tbilisi Parking app or at parking meters.
• Fines: speeding by 15–40 km/h is 50 ₾, a phone in hand 30 ₾, an unfastened belt 40 ₾, a missed red light 50 ₾, unpaid parking 50 ₾ and driving without a licence 500 ₾.
• Toll roads: Georgia's international and domestic roads remain free of charge, and there are no vignettes or transponders to buy.

If your dates move by a day or two, tell the manager before the booking is fixed — the period is agreed with the booking, not after it.

How Nissan car rental in Tbilisi delivery works

We bring the car to you, and the place, date and time of the hand-over are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. That is the whole process: you book, we confirm the details, and the Nissan Pathfinder arrives where you are staying.

Where we bring the car

We deliver to any address in Tbilisi and to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and Kutaisi International Airport (KUT). Delivery outside the city and those two airports is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site. If your arrival point is not one of those three, tell the manager when you book and we will say whether it can be done. Our own rule on fuel 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 at return, 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, full-to-empty — is offered on this page.

Agreeing the address, date and time

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Those three details are the ones that decide whether the hand-over works, so settle them first and everything else follows. A late-night arrival at the airport is a different job from a midday delivery to an apartment in Vake, and the manager needs to know which one you mean before the car is scheduled. Bring the documents the agreement asks for — the deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in that same agreement, so ask the manager for those figures before the booking is fixed rather than after.

• Driving licence: a current licence is what the agreement is built around; if yours carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic script, sort an IDP or a notarised translation before you travel.
• Booking details: the confirmed address, date and time, so the hand-over matches what the manager arranged with you.
• Payment method: which cards are accepted is agreed when booking — the site does not publish a list.

Nissan car rental in Tbilisi papers and deposit

Everything else about the paperwork is agreed when booking, so nothing on this page can surprise you at the last minute.

Which licence works in Georgia

A foreign driving licence is valid in Georgia for up to one year from the date you entered the country, and you do not need to exchange it for a local one. 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 recognition and exchange of foreign licences are governed by Georgian law and an order of the Minister of Internal Affairs; the Law of Georgia on Road Traffic is the base text. Check the alphabet your licence is printed in before you fly, because an IDP is not something you can produce at the kerb.

Documents, age and the deposit

• Age and driving experience: the minimum age and the required length of driving experience are agreed when booking; a young-driver surcharge, if it applies, is set out in the rental agreement.
• Deposit and excess: the deposit amount and the insurance excess are set out in the rental agreement, not published here.
• Payment and cards: which cards are accepted is agreed when booking.

Insurance and the agreement

Insurance is arranged as an option: full cover for the car, the driver and the passengers under CDW or Super CDW. Theft of personal belongings is not covered by standard insurance, so keep bags out of sight when the car is parked overnight. Mandatory third-party cover for owners of Georgian-registered cars does not exist at the moment — the government put its introduction into the autumn legislative work plan, with no date named; a rental car carries Georgian plates, so the mandatory insurance for foreign vehicles does not apply to it. Ask the manager which cover you are getting before the booking is fixed, because the deposit and the excess are set out in the rental agreement.

What we need from you before the car is delivered

Rent-Trip asks for the driver's passport and a valid licence, and the deposit is agreed when booking rather than at the kerb.

Mountain routes with Nissan car rental in Tbilisi

Where the Pathfinder earns its keep

• Georgian Military Highway (S3): 139 km from Mtskheta to the Russian border at Stepantsminda, through Zhinvali, Ananuri, Pasanauri and Gudauri, with the Jvari Pass at 2,379 m as its highest point.
• Gudauri: a resort at 2,200 m by the Jvari Pass, normally 2–2.5 hours from the capital; the ski season runs from early December to mid-April, and the road is part of E117.

The upper sections of the S3 are prone to landslides and snow, and the Jvari Pass closes when avalanche danger is declared, so plan the drive with a weather check rather than a fixed timetable.

Winter tyres and mountain timing

Winter tyres are compulsory from 1 December to 1 March, and in zones designated by the government, chains on at least two front wheels are required in specific weather conditions. If your trip falls between those dates, build a spare half-day into the itinerary — a closure at the Jvari Pass, above Gudauri, cuts off the road to Kazbegi.

Fuel, distances and the full-to-full rule

Petrol in Georgia costs 4.06 ₾ per litre (21.09.2026) and diesel 4.76 ₾, roughly 17% more, so the Pathfinder's petrol engine is the cheaper fuel choice locally. Our car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank; otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Distances from Freedom Square to keep in mind: Ananuri 66 km, Gudauri 121 km, Stepantsminda 153 km, Borjomi 160 km, Bakuriani 184 km, Vardzia 225 km. Georgia's international and domestic roads remain free of charge, including the 52 km Rikoti (E60) section with its 51 tunnels and 97 bridges — no vignette or transponder is needed for any of these routes.

Driving rules and costs for Nissan rental in Tbilisi

Georgia drives on the right, speed limits run 60 km/h in built-up areas and 90 km/h outside them, and the country's international and domestic roads are free of charge. Fuel, parking and fines are the costs that actually land on your budget during a car rental in Tbilisi.

Speed, seat belts and phone rules

• Built-up areas: 60 km/h, and 20 km/h in residential zones; the limit is set by Article 33, paragraph 6.
• Outside built-up areas: 90 km/h for category B, 110 km/h on motorways, 80 km/h with a light trailer (Article 33, paragraph 7b).
• Seat belts: the driver and front passengers must wear them; rear belts are not required by law (Article 21, paragraph 9).
• Phone: hands-free or speaker only, with both hands on the wheel (Article 21).
• Children: under 3 in a child seat or restraint on the rear seat; a child under 6 must never be left alone in a parked car (Article 26, paragraphs 7–9).
• Winter: winter tyres are compulsory from 1 December to 1 March, and chains on at least two front wheels in government-designated zones under special weather conditions.

Fuel, parking and what a mistake costs

Petrol sits at 4.06 ₾ per litre and diesel at 4.76 ₾ per litre, both recorded on 21.09.2026 — diesel runs about 17 % dearer, so the Pathfinder's petrol engine is the cheaper of the two to feed. The 52 km Rikoti section of the E60, opened on 29.12.2025 with 51 tunnels and 97 bridges, carries no toll either. Street parking is zonal: the first 15 minutes are free, then from 1 ₾ per hour, paid through the Tbilisi Parking app, parking meters or parking.tbilisi.gov.ge, which also lets you search by a transit or foreign plate. A parking fine is 50 ₾, and a towed car costs 150 ₾ plus 20 ₾ per day of storage. Fines elsewhere follow the same pattern: 50 ₾ for speeding by 15–40 km/h, 150 ₾ above that, 30 ₾ for a phone, 40 ₾ for a belt, 50 ₾ for running a red light and 500 ₾ for driving without a licence.

Fuel policy and the one habit worth keeping

We hand the car over clean and with a full tank, and it comes back the same way — full-to-full. Anything missing at return is charged with a refuelling service fee, both set out in the rental agreement; no pre-paid tank or full-to-empty option exists here. Fill up before leaving the capital.

Insurance and rental agreement terms

Insurance on a rental car in Georgia is arranged as an option rather than a fixed part of the rate, and the agreement is the document that records the cover you have chosen.

What the insurance option covers

What matters more is the legal position: as of 05.09.2026 there is no compulsory third-party motor insurance for owners of locally registered cars — the government put its introduction into the autumn session's legislative work plan, with no date named. A rental car here carries Georgian plates, so the mandatory insurance rules for foreign-registered vehicles do not apply to it. Ask the manager which cover level suits your route before the booking is fixed, because the excess figure is set out in the rental agreement.

Deposit, excess and the agreement

• Deposit: agreed when booking and stated in the agreement; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
• Delivery: bringing the car to your address in Tbilisi is arranged with a manager, and the terms are set out in the rental agreement.
• Mileage: the Nissan Pathfinder is a 7-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, petrol and automatic transmission, and the mileage terms are set out in the rental agreement.
• Fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and is returned full-to-full; the terms are set out in the rental agreement.

Documents the agreement rests on

If the characters on your licence are neither Latin nor Cyrillic, you need an International Driving Permit or a notarised translation — Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention. The law on recognising and replacing foreign licences sits in Georgia's Law on Road Traffic and in an order of the Minister of Internal Affairs. Age limits, driving experience and the cards accepted are agreed when booking, not stated here.

Keeping the agreement intact on the road

Winter tyres are compulsory from 1 December to 1 March, and in zones the government designates, chains on at least two front wheels are required in particular weather. The alcohol limit is 0.3 ‰. An unpaid parking session carries a 50 ₾ fine.
