Do you need car rental in Vake, Tbilisi at all

What a car changes about getting around Vake

Add the day trips that define a Tbilisi stay — Mtskheta at 26 km from Freedom Square, Gudauri at 121 km, Sighnaghi at 109 km, David Gareja at 98 km — and the arithmetic changes. If your itinerary is two museum days and a lot of café time, skip it.

Is it safe to drive in Tbilisi as a foreigner

Traffic drives on the right in Georgia, and a foreign licence is valid for up to 1 year from the date of entry, with no exchange needed. If your licence carries neither Latin nor Cyrillic script, bring an IDP or a notarised translation — Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention. Speed limits are 60 km/h in built-up areas, 20 km/h in residential zones and 90 km/h outside them, with 110 km/h on motorways for category B. Seat belts are required for the driver and all front passengers; rear belts are not compulsory by law. Using a phone means a headset or speakerphone, both hands on the wheel. Children under 3 travel in the back in a child seat matched to height and weight. The adjustment for a visitor is pace, not the side of the road.

Where the car stops being optional

• Mountain routes: Gudauri sits 121 km from Freedom Square and the S3 climbs to the Jvari Pass at 2,379 m, where upper sections close in snow and landslide conditions.
• Wine country: Sighnaghi is 109 km away and Telavi 93 km — a return leg that turns a tasting afternoon into a late-night drive.
• Airport runs: Tbilisi International (TBS) is 17 km southeast, and a car left at your Vake address saves a second transfer on the way home.

Winter tyres are mandatory from 1 December to 1 March, so a December or January booking needs the right car, not just any car.

Where to rent a car in Vake and how delivery works

The car comes to the address you name in Vake. There is no lot to walk back to at the end of the day, and the hand-over happens where you are staying.

How delivery to a Vake address is arranged

Rent-Trip brings the car to any address in Vake and across Tbilisi, and the delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. You name the building, the entrance and the hour you want the car; we confirm it with you, and the hand-over happens where you are staying. The meeting point is your own street, and the paperwork is agreed when booking. Naming a precise building entrance and a time window when you book saves the back-and-forth on the day.

Picking up at the airport and returning in Vake

We deliver to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and Kutaisi International Airport (KUT), and the return address is agreed with a manager when you book. TBS sits 17 km south-east of the city, roughly 17 km by road, so the last leg into the district is short. Delivery outside Tbilisi and these two airports is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so confirm it before you fix the booking.

What the car comes with at hand-over

• Full tank: the car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank.
• Full-to-full only: no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty option exists on this page.
• Missing fuel: the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
• Your own check: note the fuel gauge and the odometer reading at hand-over, and match them when you return.

The fuel you buy is the fuel you use — full-to-full is the only option we offer, which is why the tank reading at hand-over is the one number worth writing down.

Where the cars wait between bookings

The largest group is SUV & 4x4 with 34 cars from $69, and those suit the mountain routes out of the city — if your trip includes the Georgian Military Road, book that class early rather than on the morning you leave.

Car rental in Vake, Tbilisi prices and classes from $30

The page runs from $30 to $250 per day across nine classes, and the class you pick decides both the price and the trip you can take.

Prices by class on this page

Weekly and monthly rates

• Weekly bookings: calculated as the daily rate multiplied by six, so an Economy car starts at $180 for the week.
• Monthly bookings: calculated as the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one, so the same Economy car starts at $630 for the month.

What the cheapest and the dearest cars actually are

At $35 sit three more Economy options: the Ford Fiesta SE, the Mini Cooper 3dr One with its 4 seats and the hybrid Toyota Prius; the Chevrolet Cruze is $39.

Premium starts at $80 with the BMW 320, and the top of the page is the $120–$250 territory — the Lexus RX350, the Mercedes-Benz GL 450 4MATIC, the diesel Porsche Cayenne and the Hyundai Palisade, with the single Minivan at $190.

Paperwork and deposit for car rental in Vake, Tbilisi

Renting a car in Vake is mostly paperwork you can settle before you ever see the vehicle. What you need is a passport, a valid driving licence and a booking confirmed with a manager — everything else is agreed in the same conversation.

What to bring and what the licence has to show

• Driving licence: a foreign licence is valid for up to 1 year from the date you entered Georgia, and no exchange is needed for that period.
• International Driving Permit or a notarised translation: required if your licence uses neither Latin nor Cyrillic script — Georgia is a party to the 1968 Vienna Convention.
• Minimum age and driving experience: agreed when booking, along with the young-driver surcharge if it applies to you.

Deposit, insurance and what is not covered

The deposit amount, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in the rental agreement, and we confirm them with you when the booking is fixed — they are never a figure quoted in advance on this page. Georgian-registered cars have no compulsory third-party insurance for owners as of 05.09.2026: the government placed its introduction in the legislative work plan for the autumn session, with no date named. What a company offers instead is cover for the car, the driver and the passengers — CDW or Super CDW — usually as an option rather than something bundled in. Theft of personal belongings is not covered by standard cover, so a laptop or camera left on a back seat in Vake is your own risk. Ask which cover level you are getting before you drive away, not after.

Rent-Trip confirms the delivery address, the date and the time in that same exchange, so nothing is left to the hand-over itself. If your licence is not in Latin or Cyrillic script, raise it at that point — ordering an International Driving Permit takes longer than the delivery does. Naming the cover level you want early also means the agreement is written once, and the car arrives ready to drive.

Fleet specs and gearboxes for car rental in Vake, Tbilisi

Every car on this page has an automatic transmission, and the fleet runs on petrol, diesel and hybrid power with four, five, seven or eight seats. The mix matters more than it sounds: what you choose decides which roads you can take and how much fuel the trip costs.

Automatic only, and what that means for the driver

All 73 cars on this page are automatic, so there is no manual-versus-automatic decision to make when you book with us. The range starts at the Ford Fiesta — an 85 hp Economy hatchback at $30 a day — and runs through the 120 hp Fiesta SE, the 102 hp Mini Cooper 3dr One and the 136 hp hybrid Toyota Prius, all at $35. Crossovers open at $39 with the 138 hp Buick Encore, the 140 hp all-wheel-drive Chevrolet Trax and the 150 hp Volkswagen Tiguan, while the 290 hp Ford Explorer at $65 is the cheapest full-size SUV in the line-up.

Petrol, diesel and hybrid across the classes

• Hybrid: the Toyota Prius, a 136 hp Economy liftback at $35 a day, with no plug-in routine to learn.
• Diesel: nine cars, from the 265 hp Porsche Cayenne and the 367 hp Mercedes-Benz GL 350 CDI BlueTEC at $120 a day to the Land Rover diesels and the Marco Polo minivan.
• Fuel prices in Georgia: petrol sits at 4.06 lari per litre and diesel at 4.76, so diesel costs roughly 17 % more at the pump.
• Full-to-full: the car is supplied with a full tank and must come back full — no pre-paid tank, no full-to-empty option.

Four to eight seats: matching the car to the group

Seat count is where the fleet splits most sharply, and it is the first thing to fix before anything else. Seven seats appear on nine cars, from the 284 hp Nissan Pathfinder at $69, the 277 hp Mazda CX-9 at $90 and the two Mercedes-Benz GL models at $120 up to the BMW X7 at $210 — the natural pick for a group heading to Kazbegi or Borjomi. Eight seats exist on this page as well, though the count is thin, so tell the manager the passenger number when you book rather than after.

What the fuel bill looks like on a day trip

A full-to-full policy means the fuel you buy is the fuel you actually burn, so the cost of a day out is easy to read in advance. The run from Freedom Square to Gudauri is 121 km each way, Mtskheta 26 km, Sighnaghi 109 km and Borjomi 160 km — all on roads the Department of Roads confirmed as free of charge, with no vignettes or transponders to buy. Fill up before you leave Tbilisi.

Driving around Vake and beyond with car rental in Tbilisi

Below is what the driving itself looks like, in the district and beyond it.

Driving rules that matter in Vake

Georgia drives on the right, and a foreign licence is valid for up to 1 year from the date of entry — no exchange needed. Speed limits are 60 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h outside them and 110 km/h on motorways; in residential zones the limit drops to 20 km/h. Seat belts are required for the driver and front passengers, rear belts are not compulsory by law, and a phone is only legal through a hands-free set. Children under 3 travel in a child seat in the back, and children under 6 cannot be left alone in a parked car. The blood-alcohol limit is 0.3 ‰.

Parking on the Vake side of the city

• Street parking: zonal, from 1 ₾ an hour after the first 15 minutes free, paid through the Tbilisi Parking app, at parking meters or on parking.tbilisi.gov.ge.
• Fines and towing: an unpaid parking fine runs to 50 ₾, and a towed car costs 150 ₾ plus 20 ₾ a day for the pound.
• Covered options: Freedom Square runs about 2–3 ₾ an hour, Rike about 7 ₾ a day, and the first hour at Galleria Tbilisi is around 2 ₾.
• Winter rule: winter tyres are compulsory from 1 December to 1 March, and in government-defined zones chains on at least two front wheels may be required.

Out of town: the routes a Vake car is for

The Georgian Military Road, the S3, runs 139 km from Mtskheta to the Russian border at Stepantsminda, through Zhinvali, Ananuri, Pasanauri and Gudauri, topping out at the Jvari Pass at 2,379 m. Gudauri sits at 2,200 m and is normally 2–2.5 hours from the capital; the ski season runs from early December to mid-April. Upper sections of the pass close for landslides, snow and avalanche risk, so check the road before you commit to a mountain day. From Freedom Square, Mtskheta is 26 km, Ananuri 66 km, Gudauri 121 km, Stepantsminda 153 km, Sighnaghi 109 km, Borjomi 160 km and Bakuriani 184 km. The Rikoti pass on the east–west route is free as well.

Booking car rental in Vake, Tbilisi with a manager

Reserving is a conversation, not a checkout page: you name the model, the building and the dates, we confirm what is free, and only then does the reservation hold.

What to send us to start

• Car or class: say which model you want — Ford Fiesta, Kia Sportage, Toyota RAV4 — or just the class, and we check the 73 vehicles on this page against your dates.
• Hand-over point: the exact building in Vake, with the entrance you will be standing at when the car arrives.
• Date and time: pick the window you want the keys in, not the day you land.
• Trip length: daily, weekly or monthly — a weekly hire is charged at daily x 6, a monthly one at daily x 21.
• Your driving licence: if it carries no Latin or Cyrillic characters, bring an IDP or a notarised translation alongside it.
• Return point and time: the same Vake address or a different one, agreed when you book.

How the booking is fixed

We bring the vehicle to any address in Tbilisi and to Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) and Kutaisi International Airport (KUT). Delivery beyond the city and those two airports is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so ask before you commit to a plan. The address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed — that conversation is what turns a request into a confirmed car, and it is also where the deposit, the insurance option and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement.

What we ask you to confirm on the day

Hand-over is short if the details were settled beforehand. The car comes clean with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank — full-to-full is the only fuel option we offer, so there is no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty. If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Land borders into Azerbaijan remain sealed for passengers, so a car cannot enter that way at all.

Cash, cards and the small print

Payment methods are agreed with the manager when you book — we do not list accepted cards here, and the same goes for the minimum age and driving experience, which are settled in the same conversation rather than promised on the page. If your plans move, tell us early: the return address and the return time are both part of the booking, and changing them the day before is harder than changing them a week out.
