A car for a photo shoot
Every Rent-Trip car in Tbilisi is delivered clean with a full tank and returned full; insurance options and any delivery fee are agreed when booking. We keep 5 cars for photo shoots — 4 Sports models and 1 Convertible, from $69 per day — and bring the car to any address in Tbilisi, to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) or to Kutaisi International Airport (KUT). The delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Can you actually book a car for a photo shoot car rental in Tbilisi
A shoot is a normal rental with a specific schedule, not a separate service we invented for photographers. The car stays with you for the day, you drive it between locations and park it in frame when you need it.
Is a photo shoot a valid reason to book a car here
We hand over the same 5 cars for a shoot as for any other trip — the purpose does not change the booking. Rent-Trip holds four Sports cars and one Convertible, from $69 to $220 per day, and a shoot day is reserved exactly like a weekend drive: you pick the model, we agree the date and the address with a manager, and the car arrives clean with a full tank. What differs is the clock.
Do you need a special licence or permit for a shoot car
If your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic characters, bring an IDP or a notarised translation; Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention.
What the booking covers and what it does not
- The car itself: any of the 5 models on this page, held for the agreed hours, delivered clean with a full tank.
- Fuel: supplied full and returned full — full-to-full is the only option we offer, and anything missing is charged as set out in the rental agreement.
- Delivery: to any address in Tbilisi, and the date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
- Insurance: cover is set out in the rental agreement, not promised over the phone.
Which car for a photo shoot car rental in Tbilisi fits your frame
The five cars on this page and what each one shoots like
| Model | Class | Seats | Power | From, per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BMW 328i | Sports | 5 | 245 hp | $69 |
| BMW 328i M Style | Sports | 5 | 245 hp | $69 |
| Mini Cabrio | Convertibles | 4 | 136 hp | $69 |
| Porsche Panamera | Sports | 5 | 560 hp | $140 |
| BMW 750 | Sports | 4 | 450 hp | $220 |
Four Sports cars and one Convertible cover most shoot briefs, from a plain sedan to an open-top hero car. The two BMW 328i cars are the same 245 hp rear-wheel sedan in different trim, so if you need a matching pair for a two-car frame, that is the cheapest way to get one.
Open-top or closed — picking between the convertible and the sedans
The Mini Cabrio is the only open-top car on this page, at $69 per day with 4 seats and 136 hp. Keep a closed car as the backup plan if the forecast is unsettled.
Matching seats and crew to the car
- Five-seat cars: BMW 328i, BMW 328i M Style and Porsche Panamera take a driver, two crew and two talent without anyone riding on a lap.
- Four-seat cars: Mini Cabrio and BMW 750 leave no room for a second camera operator — send the crew separately or plan the shot list around a smaller unit.
- Rear-wheel drive: both BMW 328i cars put power through the back, which shows in how the car sits under load in a corner.
- Automatic only: every car on this page is petrol and automatic, so no one on the crew needs to work a clutch.
If the frame needs four doors and a full crew, book the 5-seat cars and let the convertible be the second vehicle rather than the only one.
What a car for a photo shoot car rental in Tbilisi costs by class
The whole page runs on one price band: $69 to $220 per day, spread across five cars in two classes.
Daily rates across the fleet
| Model | Class | Seats | Power | From per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BMW 328i | Sports | 5 | 245 hp | $69 |
| BMW 328i M Style | Sports | 5 | 245 hp | $69 |
| Mini Cabrio | Convertibles | 4 | 136 hp | $69 |
| Porsche Panamera | Sports | 5 | 560 hp | $140 |
| BMW 750 | Sports | 4 | 450 hp | $220 |
Three of the five cars sit at the bottom of the band at $69 per day: the BMW 328i, the BMW 328i M Style and the Mini Cabrio. That means a two-car shoot can stay under the price of one premium model — useful when the brief calls for a hero car and a second body for the crew. The Porsche Panamera, at $140, is the middle step, and the BMW 750 closes the range at $220. All five run on petrol with an automatic gearbox, so nothing in the fleet changes how the day is driven.
Weekly and monthly rates for longer productions
- Weekly: daily rate × 6 — the BMW 328i at $69 per day comes to $414 for the week, the BMW 750 at $220 comes to $1,320.
- Monthly: daily rate × 21 — the same BMW 328i lands at $1,449 for the month, the BMW 750 at $4,620.
- Mini Cabrio weekly: $414, the same as the two BMW 328i cars, because all three share the $69 daily rate.
- What is not included: the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount are set out in the rental agreement, not on this page.
A three-day shoot does not trigger the weekly figure — the multiplier applies to the booking length you actually take, so a Friday-to-Sunday job is charged at the daily rate. For productions that hold a car across two or three weeks, the monthly line is the one to compare against, and it is worth fixing the model early: with five cars on this page, a specific body can be out on another booking by the time the shoot date is confirmed.
The price you see is the price for the car. Camera gear, lighting and crew transport are the production's own line items, and we do not quote for them. If the shoot needs the car parked on location for a full day rather than driven, tell the manager when you book — the daily rate covers the car, and the schedule is agreed at the same time as the model and the address.
Getting your car for a photo shoot car rental in Tbilisi to the location
We deliver the car to the set ourselves, anywhere in the city, and the address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. The car arrives where the camera already stands, with the hand-over arranged when booking.
Where we bring the car
- Tbilisi International Airport (TBS): 17 km south-east of the centre, 17 km by road, for crews landing and shooting the same day.
- Kutaisi International Airport (KUT): 241 km from Tbilisi by road, for crews landing in the west.
- Outside the city: arranged case by case, agreed with a manager, never assumed.
What state the car arrives in
Every vehicle for a photo shoot leaves us clean and with a full tank, and it comes back the same way under the full-to-full rule. If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. We do not offer a pre-paid tank or a full-to-empty option — one fuel rule, one price. Budget the tank for the driving, not for the shoot.
Licence, documents and cover for a car for a photo shoot car rental in Tbilisi
A shoot car is still a hired vehicle, so the paperwork is the same as for any other booking.
What the driver needs to bring
- Foreign licence: valid in Georgia for up to 1 year from the date you entered the country, with no exchange needed.
- IDP or notarised translation: required 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 licence.
- Deposit: agreed in advance and set out in the agreement, not a figure quoted on this page.
Age and driving experience are agreed when booking, as is the deposit itself. Those conditions belong to the supplier, not to Georgian law, so we confirm them with you before the booking is fixed rather than printing a number here.
Cover, and what it does not include
Georgian-registered cars have no compulsory third-party insurance at the moment: the government put its introduction into the autumn legislative work plan, with no date named. Our cars are locally registered, so the rule on compulsory insurance for foreign vehicles does not apply to them. Theft of personal belongings is not covered by standard insurance, which matters on a shoot day: lenses, light stands and a second body left in a parked car are your own risk. Pack gear into the boot between setups, or keep someone with the car.
Filming in public space
We hand over a road-legal car with valid documents; what the crew does with the frame afterwards is the production's side of the job.
Speed, belts and the fines behind them
The rules a driver will actually meet on a shoot day are worth knowing before the first location move. In built-up areas the limit is 60 km/h, 20 km/h in residential zones; outside towns it is 90 km/h and 110 km/h on motorways. Seat belts are required for the driver and all front passengers, though wearing them in the rear is not compulsory under Georgian law. Phones only through a hands-free kit, both hands on the wheel. Fines for the common ones run 50 GEL for speeding 15–40 km/h over the limit, 150 GEL above that, 30 GEL for a phone, 40 GEL for a belt and 50 GEL for unpaid parking, with a 20% discount if paid within 10 days. Winter tyres are mandatory from 1 December to 1 March.
Where to point the camera with a car for a photo shoot car rental in Tbilisi
Locations decide how a shoot car reads on camera.
Mountains within reach
- Stepantsminda: 153 km along the Georgian Military Road, past Zhinvali and Pasanauri, for a car against a genuinely dramatic skyline.
Light, timing and the practical side
Parking in the centre is zonal: from 1 ₾ an hour after the first 15 free minutes, paid through the Tbilisi Parking app or a terminal, with a 50 ₾ fine for an unpaid spot. If your route includes the Jvari Pass, check the weather the same morning — the upper sections close when there is avalanche risk, and a closed pass can turn a two-hour return into a very long day. The car is delivered clean with a full tank, so the only thing you need to plan around is where the sun will be when you get there.
Booking a car for a photo shoot car rental in Tbilisi with a manager
A shoot date is fixed, so the booking is too: you tell us the model, the day and the address, and a manager confirms all three before anything is locked in.
What we need from you to fix the booking
- The model: name one of the five cars on this page — BMW 328i, BMW 328i M Style, Mini Cabrio, Porsche Panamera or BMW 750 — or say which class you want and we suggest what is free.
- The date and the time window: give us the day plus the hours you need the car standing in frame, not just the pick-up time.
- The address: the exact spot where the car should be waiting — a street, a courtyard, a studio lot or the airport.
- The contact: a phone number that works on the day, because shoot schedules move and we would rather call you than guess.
The five cars on this page run from $69 to $220 per day, with weekly from $414 and monthly from $1,449.
