Car rental without a deposit
A booking without a deposit in Tbilisi is available to Rent-Trip's regular customers and is agreed with a manager; for a first booking the deposit is set out in the rental agreement. Our fleet on this page runs to 20 self-drive cars, from $30 to $69 per day, with weekly bookings from $180 and monthly from $630.
What No-Deposit Car Rental in Tbilisi Really Means
A booking without a deposit is available to our regular customers; for a first booking, the deposit is agreed with the manager. What always exists is the rental agreement: it carries the deposit and excess terms, and it is the document that decides who pays for what if the car comes back damaged.
Is No-Deposit Car Rental in Tbilisi Really Zero
The deposit and excess terms are still set out in the rental agreement, so read that document before you drive away.
What the Rental Agreement Covers Instead of a Deposit
The rental agreement sets out the deposit and excess terms, so nothing is left to a verbal promise. Collision damage waiver and Super CDW appear here as options, not as a default, so the agreement is where you see which one applies to your booking.
What No-Deposit Does Not Cover
- Fuel: the car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank — the missing fuel and a refuelling fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
- Damage: the terms that apply above the excess are set out in the rental agreement.
- Personal belongings: theft of items left in the car is not covered by standard cover.
Ask for the excess to be explained before the keys change hands — that conversation costs nothing.
Car Rental Without a Deposit in Tbilisi Booking Steps
No-deposit car rental in Tbilisi is arranged around the booking itself. The booking is agreed with a manager, and the delivery address, the date and the time are confirmed in that conversation before the vehicle is assigned to you.
How to Book
The arrangement is agreed with a manager, and the terms of payment are set out in the rental agreement. You send the dates, the delivery address and the class you want; the manager confirms which of the 20 cars is yours.
What to Confirm Before the Booking Is Fixed
- Delivery address: the exact street and building, or the airport and terminal — we deliver to any address in the city, to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and to Kutaisi International Airport (KUT).
- Date and time: the hand-over slot you want, not the slot you think you can make.
- Flight number: if you land at TBS, the arrival time is what the manager works from.
- Class and model: Economy, Crossover, Comfort, Sedan or Convertibles — say which one, and name a second choice.
- Fuel policy: the car comes clean with a full tank and is returned full-to-full; the missing fuel and a refuelling fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
- Driver details: the licence you will drive on, so the manager can flag anything before the car is assigned.
If your flight lands late, say so when booking — the hand-over time is part of what the manager confirms. Delivery outside the city and the two airports is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so raise it early rather than on the day.
Prices by Class
| Class | Cars | From, per day | Weekly from | Monthly from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | 9 | $30 | $180 | $630 |
| Crossover | 5 | $39 | $234 | $819 |
| Comfort | 3 | $39 | $234 | $819 |
| Sedan | 2 | $39 | $234 | $819 |
| Convertibles | 1 | $69 | $414 | $1,449 |
Every car in the fleet is automatic, with 4 or 5 seats and either petrol or hybrid fuel. Longer bookings are priced at daily × 6 for a week and daily × 21 for a month — the same multiplier across every class, so the cheapest way to hold an Economy car for a month is the monthly rate rather than four weekly ones. Fix the address and the hour first, and the class can be settled afterwards.
Fleet and Prices for Car Rental Without a Deposit in Tbilisi
Twenty cars sit in the no-deposit fleet, priced from $30 to $69 per day. Nine of them are Economy, five Crossover, three Comfort, two Sedan, and one Convertible. Weekly bookings start at $180 and monthly at $630, and the multiplier behind those numbers never changes: daily × 6 for a week, daily × 21 for a month. The car is delivered to you, so the fleet reaches the city rather than waiting behind a desk.
Prices by Class in Our No-Deposit Fleet
| Class | Cars | From (per day) |
|---|---|---|
| Economy | 9 | $30 |
| Crossover | 5 | $39 |
| Comfort | 3 | $39 |
| Sedan | 2 | $39 |
| Convertibles | 1 | $69 |
Which Models Suit Which Trip
Every car we hand over is automatic, with either 4 or 5 seats and petrol or hybrid fuel. That single line covers a wide spread. The Ford Fiesta at $30 per day and the Ford Fiesta SE at $35 are the cheapest way into the fleet, both 5-seat hatchbacks with 85 hp and 120 hp. The Toyota Prius at $35 runs on hybrid power and 136 hp. In the middle sits the bulk of the fleet at $39: the Buick Encore, Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Trax, Honda Fit, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Soul, Kia Sportage, Mazda 3, Mazda 6, Volkswagen Jetta and Volkswagen Tiguan.
- All-wheel drive: the Chevrolet Trax, Kia Sportage, Mazda 3, Volkswagen Tiguan, Ford Explorer and BMW X1 put power to all four wheels.
- Power: the Ford Explorer at $65 carries 290 hp, the BMW X1 at $69 has 192 hp, and at $39 the Mazda 6 (190 hp) and Mazda 3 (186 hp) are the most powerful of the mid-range.
- Fuel: the Toyota Prius is the only hybrid — the rest run on petrol.
Tell the manager which model you want and where to bring it — the delivery address, date and time are agreed before the booking is fixed, and the car arrives clean with a full tank.
Documents, Age and Licence Rules for Car Rental in Tbilisi
Here is what you actually need in your bag before the car reaches you in Tbilisi.
What Documents You Need for No-Deposit Car Rental in Tbilisi
A foreign driving licence is valid in Georgia for up to 1 year from your date of entry, and no exchange is needed. Rent-Trip asks for your passport and a current licence; if your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic script, bring an international driving permit or a notarised translation, since Georgia follows the 1968 Vienna Convention.
Age, Experience and the Deposit Question
The minimum rental age and the driving-experience requirement are agreed when booking, not fixed by Georgian law, so ask the manager for your case rather than assuming a number. Optional CDW and Super CDW cover is available, and it changes that exposure.
Licence Rules on the Road
- Speed in built-up areas: 60 km/h in towns, dropping to 20 km/h in residential zones.
- Speed outside built-up areas: 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 under the law.
- Phones: hands-free or speaker only — both hands stay on the wheel.
- Children under 3: carried in the back in a child seat or restraint matched to height and weight.
- Alcohol: the limit is 0.3 ‰, so a single glass at dinner is already a risk.
- Winter tyres: mandatory from 1 December to 1 March, with chains on at least two front wheels in government-designated zones during special weather.
Picking Up Your Rental Car Without a Deposit
We deliver, so most of the work happens before you ever see the vehicle.
How Hand-Over Works When There Is No Deposit to Block
Rent-Trip delivers the car to any address in Tbilisi and to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and Kutaisi International Airport (KUT). The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and the car arrives clean with a full tank. The agreement still applies in full: it sets out the deposit and excess terms, the fuel policy and what happens if the car comes back damaged or short of fuel. Ask for the agreement to be sent to you before the car arrives, so you read the excess figure while you still have time to ask questions rather than at the kerb with your bags in the boot.
What to Check Before You Drive Away
- Fuel level: the car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned full-to-full, so confirm the gauge reads full before you leave.
- Controls: sit in and locate the lights, wipers and handbrake before you pull into traffic.
Timing the Delivery Around Your Arrival
If your flight may land late, say so when booking — the hand-over time is part of what the manager confirms. If you land on a peak day, expect the car to meet you rather than the other way round. Delivery outside the city and the two airports is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so if your plans start further out, raise it with the manager before the booking is fixed rather than after.
Driving in Tbilisi with No-Deposit Car Rental Cover
We hand over every car with a full tank and ask for it back the same way, full-to-full; anything else — the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee — is charged as set out in the rental agreement.
Speed Limits and Fines You Should Know Before You Drive
- Outside built-up areas, category B: 90 km/h, 110 km/h on motorways, 80 km/h with a light trailer.
- Seat belts: compulsory for the driver and all front passengers; rear belts are not required by law.
- Phone: hands-free or speaker only, both hands on the wheel.
- Children under 3: in a child seat or restraint on the back seat, matched to height and weight.
- Alcohol: 0.3 ‰ (0.03 %) — effectively zero, so leave the wine tasting to a passenger.
Parking and Winter Rules
Street parking is zonal: from 1 lari per hour, with the first 15 minutes free. Payment goes through the Tbilisi Parking app, parking meters or parking.tbilisi.gov.ge, where the portal also lets you search by a transit or foreign plate. Underground car parks in the centre are the simpler option for an evening out: around 2–3 lari per hour at Freedom Square, about 7 lari per day at Rike, roughly 1–2 lari per hour at Orbeliani Square.
Winter tyres are mandatory from 1 December to 1 March, and in government-designated zones under particular weather conditions you need chains on at least the two front wheels.
Damage Cover, Excess and What Happens on a Scratch
The excess figure is the one number worth pinning down before you drive away: it decides how much of any repair bill lands on you. Theft of personal belongings is not covered by the standard policy, so keep bags out of sight when the car is parked overnight on the street.
What No-Deposit Car Rental in Tbilisi Gives You
For a regular customer, a no-deposit booking means no blocked funds; for everyone, a car brought to the address and a price you can read in advance. This section sets out what a no-deposit booking actually removes from the trip, and what it leaves in place.
What a No-Deposit Booking Removes From the Trip
- Payment terms: the booking and the payment method are agreed with a manager.
Why the Fleet Suits a First Trip to Georgia
Every one of our 20 cars is automatic, so a driver who has never handled a manual on a steep street is not excluded. Prices start at $30 per day and reach $69, with weekly bookings from $180 and monthly from $630 — the same daily × 6 and daily × 21 multipliers across every class, Economy through Convertibles.
What Stays in Place
- The rental agreement: the deposit and excess terms are set out there, and reading them before you drive away is what makes a no-deposit booking low-risk rather than blind.
- Full-to-full fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and is returned full; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
- The rules of the road: speed limits, the 0.3 ‰ alcohol threshold and the winter tyre requirement from 1 December to 1 March apply to a rental car exactly as they apply to any other vehicle.
