Trusted reviews from real customers who used TripBox services
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.
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!
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.
Very professional and friendly. Answered all my questions quickly.
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.
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.
Clean car, fair price, polite host. What more do you need?
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.
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.
Reliable and stress-free. Perfect for family travel.
Tbilisi is the heart of Georgia — ancient churches beside futuristic architecture, narrow alleys opening onto wide avenues. It is also the starting point for the vast majority of trips across the country.
Renting a car in Tbilisi with TripBox means freedom from metro schedules (which don’t reach everywhere) and from taxi price surges on the busy routes — airport to centre, Vake to Didube. Have the car delivered to your hotel or pick it up near a metro station, and travel on your own terms. Browse verified cars with real photos and no hidden overpayments.
| District / landmark | Rental & parking notes | Suggested car |
|---|---|---|
| Old Town (Kala) | Narrow streets, paid parking (~2 GEL/hr). A small car is easiest; many hotels have no parking of their own. | Economy, mini |
| Rustaveli Ave / Vera | City centre, lots of one-way streets. Free parking is hard, but underground parking is available. | Sedan / crossover |
| Vake (prestige area) | Wide streets, plenty of parking near residential buildings. Good for comfort and business sedans. | Comfort+, business |
| Saburtalo (student / business) | Close to the metro and House of Justice. Parking is easier than in the centre. | Any class |
| Didube / Station Square | Handy for starting trips to the regions (near the E60 highway) or meeting guests arriving by train or bus. | Minivans, crossovers |
| Suburbs (Digomi, upper Saburtalo) | Newer residential areas with roomy parking. Convenient to leave early to beat the traffic. | Family cars |
The capital is hills and busy roads, so the right class depends on your plans:
The big advantage of renting in the capital is the day-trip routes: pick the car up in the morning, return it in the evening. Distances are from the centre of Tbilisi.
| Route | Distance | Time | What to see |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mtskheta — Uplistsikhe | ~30 / ~90 km | 30 min / 1 h 30 | Jvari, Svetitskhoveli, the cave city |
| Tbilisi — Telavi (Kakheti) | ~90 km | 1 h 40 | Shumi & Tbilvino wineries, Sighnaghi |
| Tbilisi — Gudauri — Kazbegi | ~120 km | 2 h – 2 h 40 | Zhinvali reservoir, Friendship Arch, Gergeti church |
| Tbilisi — Borjomi — Bakuriani | ~160 km | 2 h 20 | Borjomi park, fortress, Bakuriani cable car |
| Tbilisi — Vardzia (caves) | ~250 km | ~4 h | 12th-century cave monastery, Akhaltsikhe on the way |
Rental prices in the capital start from around $22 per day, and a typical week runs about $250–$350. The cost depends on the season (summer and New Year are peak), the car class, and how long you rent. For long rentals (7 days or more) hosts often offer a discount — and it is worth checking current promotions on TripBox.
Many travellers assume renting at the airport (TBS) is simplest, but picking up in the city has real advantages:
For most visitors a national driving licence is enough, as long as the details are in Latin or Cyrillic script. An International Driving Permit is only needed in specific cases (for example an old-style licence without Latin letters or certain insurance terms).
If you are staying in the Old Town, pick up in Vake or Saburtalo so you can use free parking and walk or take the metro into the centre. If your route goes straight to the regions (Kakheti, Kazbegi), choose a pickup point at the city exit (Didube) to skip the traffic.
Payment options are flexible — many hosts accept cash (GEL, USD, RUB), card or bank transfer. Confirm the exact payment method and any deposit terms with the host through TripBox when you book.
As of 2026, 95-octane is roughly 2.95–3.15 GEL per litre and diesel about 2.80–3.00 GEL (check current prices locally). Use established chains such as SOCAR, Gulf, Wissol or Rompetrol, and avoid small unknown stations on the outskirts.
Yes, but it is easiest in the morning (before 11:00) or evening (after 21:00); midday the centre is packed. Use underground parking, for example under Freedom Square or near Rike Park. Paid zones are marked with coloured lines, free spots are unmarked.
Yes, TripBox supports one-way rentals — start in Tbilisi and finish in Kutaisi, Batumi or Telavi. The one-way fee depends on the distance and is shown in the search results.
