What clients say

Trusted reviews from real customers who used TripBox services

Alex Morgan

Absolutely seamless experience from start to finish. Picked up a Toyota in Tbilisi, drove through the mountains to Kazbegi, and returned the car in Batumi. The team was responsive on WhatsApp and the car was in perfect condition. Will definitely use TripBox again on our next trip.

Sofia Chen

Great value for money. The booking process was simple and the host met us right at the airport. Car was clean and fuel tank was full. Highly recommend!

David Muller

Best car rental service I've tried in Georgia. Transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the insurance options were clearly explained. The host even gave us tips on the best scenic routes.

Nino Kartvelishvili

Very professional and friendly. Answered all my questions quickly.

Marco Rossi

We rented an SUV for a two-week road trip across the Caucasus. The car handled mountain passes like a champ and when we had a minor issue with a tire, the TripBox team arranged a replacement within hours. That kind of support is rare.

Emma Johnson

Booked last-minute for a weekend in Kutaisi and the process was painless. Host picked us up at the train station with the car and walked us through everything. Five stars.

Raj Patel

Clean car, fair price, polite host. What more do you need?

Yuki Tanaka

I appreciated how clear the rental agreement was. Everything was in English and well documented. The car was a late model with all modern features. Communication via the app was instant.

Sarah O'Brien

Excellent service and a beautiful car. The only tiny hiccup was a 10-minute delay at pickup but the host apologized sincerely and threw in an extra full tank at the end. Honest people, would book again.

Tom Fischer

Reliable and stress-free. Perfect for family travel.

Car Rental in Sarpi (Georgia) — Border Crossing & Pristine Beaches

The border village of Sarpi is a unique spot on the map of Adjara. On one hand, it hosts a crucial 24/7 automotive and pedestrian customs checkpoint between Georgia and Turkey. On the other hand, Sarpi is widely considered to have the best pebble beach near Batumi due to its open-sea location and rapid water current circulation, preventing water from stagnating in bays.

The village is located just 18 km south of downtown Batumi and is connected to it by a scenic coastal highway. Many travelers choose a car rental with delivery to Sarpi to avoid overpaying for international transfers from Turkey, or to kickstart their tour across Georgia (heading to Tbilisi, Kutaisi, or mountainous Adjara) right after passing border customs control.

How Car Delivery & Return Works at the Sarpi Border Checkpoint

  1. Book Online: Search and select Sarpi as your delivery location, pick your dates, and make sure to specify your estimated border crossing time. Leave your Telegram or WhatsApp contact information.
  2. Coordinate with Your Partner: A few hours before your arrival, your TripBox partner will contact you to confirm details. If you get delayed at passport control, simply send them a quick message.
  3. Meet at the Border: Your partner will be waiting for you at the parking lot located in the immediate vicinity of the Georgian customs terminal in Sarpi.
  4. Quick Inspection & Agreement: The process takes no more than 10–15 minutes. Together, you will do a quick photo or video check of the car's condition, sign the digital agreement, and receive the keys.
  5. Start Your Road Trip: Drive directly onto the S2 highway towards Kvariati, Gonio, and Batumi. The road is fully asphalted, top-quality, and easy to navigate.

💡 Cross-Border Driving Tip: Most vehicles listed on the TripBox platform are insured for use strictly within the borders of Georgia.

If you plan an international trip, you must arrange it in advance to acquire notarized permissions and cross-border insurance.

The type of car you choose depends entirely on your vacation goals in Georgia. TripBox offers excellent options for every scenario:

Sarpi Infrastructure & Driving Highlights

Sarpi is a lively hub with non-stop round-the-clock traffic. All essential services are concentrated within 300 meters of the customs gate:

  • Parking Lots: Drop-off lanes are available right next to the gate, alongside paid secure daily parking (~5–10 GEL per day) if you need to leave your car for a short trip across the border.
  • Currency Exchange & Banks: Exchange booths at the border operate 24/7. Exchange rates for GEL against USD, EUR, RUB, and TRY (Turkish Lira) remain highly competitive due to heavy local volume.
  • Mobile Connectivity: Right outside the terminal, you will find Magti and Silknet (Geocell) mobile operator desks. We highly suggest picking up a local SIM card immediately, as Turkish roaming signals overlap heavily in Sarpi.
  • Gas Stations: There are no major branded fuel stations inside Sarpi proper. The first large network stations (Wissol / Socar / Rompetrol) appear 5–7 km down the road toward Batumi (near Gonio).
⚠️ Driver Warning — Sarpi Traffic Specifics: Due to border queues, the right lane approaching Sarpi is frequently occupied by cargo trucks. Pay close attention when overtaking. Also note that during peak summer months (July — August), pedestrian traffic around Sarpi beach increases dramatically as travelers cross the main road from hotels to the sea.

What to See Around Sarpi with a Rental Car

With your own vehicle, you can easily explore the best sights of Southern Adjara within 1–2 days:

  • Sarpi Viewpoint & The Cross (1 minute): Perched on a hill right above Sarpi beach, offering panoramic views over the Turkish town of Kemalpaşa and the endless Black Sea.
  • St. Andrew the First-Called Waterfall (3 minutes): A gorgeous roadside waterfall featuring an impressive monument on the way to Kvariati.
  • Gonio-Apsaros Fortress (10 minutes): The oldest Roman citadel in Georgia, featuring rich historical ruins and an archaeological museum on site.
  • Mountainous Adjara (40+ minutes): The scenic confluence of the Chorokhi and Ajaristskali rivers, ancient stone arch bridges from the era of Queen Tamar, and wine tastings at family-owned boutique cellars in Keda.
