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

Car Rental in Tbilisi — Start Your Journey in Georgia from the Capital
Tbilisi is the heart of Georgia, a city of contrasts where ancient churches stand next to futuristic architecture, and narrow alleys open onto wide avenues. But the capital is not just about sights. It's the starting point for 90% of tourist routes across the country.
Renting a car in Tbilisi with TripBox means freedom from metro schedules (which, by the way, don't reach everywhere) and the exorbitant taxi prices on popular routes (airport — center, Vake — Didube). Get the car delivered right to your hotel or pick it up at a location near the metro and travel on your own terms.
How to get a car quickly in Tbilisi (without going to the airport)
Choose a location on the map: When booking, indicate a convenient district — Saburtalo, Vake, Old Town, Didube, or the train station. We have 50+ pickup points across the city.
Pick up the car: Go to the host or have the car delivered to your hotel/apartment (available within the city limits). Inspection, contract, keys — 10 minutes.
Explore the capital: Avoid traffic on the bypass road, park near Mtatsminda, drive to suburban Mtskheta for dinner.
Start your big journey: From Tbilisi, it's convenient to travel to Kakheti (wine tours), north (Kazbegi), or west (Borjomi, Kutaisi).
💡 Tbilisi Life Hack: If you only plan to explore the Old Town — you don't need a car, it's all pedestrian. But as soon as you want to see Mtatsminda (Holy Mountain), Lisi Lake, Tbilisi Sea, or drive out of town — having your own car will save you hours of waiting for taxis and a lot of nerves.

Which car to choose for Tbilisi and surrounding areas?
Georgia's capital is all about hills and busy roads. Your choice depends on your plans:
Hatchback (Toyota Prius, Hyundai i20, Kia Picanto): The maneuverable king of the Old Town and traffic jams. Easy to park in the historic center. Ideal for a couple or solo traveler. From $22/day.
Sedan (Toyota Camry, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Cerato): The most popular class. Spacious interior, huge trunk for shopping at "Dezirera" or "Gudauri". Handles potholes on Georgian roads well. From $30/day.

Where to go from Tbilisi with your rental car (popular destinations)
The main advantage of renting in the capital is the day trip routes. Pick up the car in the morning and return it in the evening. Distances are from the center of Tbilisi.
Rental prices in the capital start from $22 per day. On average, tourists spend around $250-$350 per week on a rental car in Tbilisi. The cost depends on the season (summer and New Year are peak), car class, and rental duration.
Tip: For long-term rentals (7 days or more), owners often offer a discount. Also, don't forget about cashback and promotions on TripBox.
Child seat: Available upon request (usually free or +$5).
Car delivery: Possible to your hotel or near a metro station (cost depends on distance).
Cross-border travel: Check with the host (trips to Armenia or Azerbaijan are possible, less often to Russia).
⚠️ Driving peculiarities in Tbilisi:
Traffic jams: During peak hours (9:00-11:00 and 18:00-20:00) the center is congested. Use a navigator (Waze or Maps).
Parking: In the center (red zone) — paid, 2 GEL/hour (pay via app or SMS).
Cameras: Many speed cameras along the avenues (city speed limit is 60-70 km/h). Fines are issued automatically and sent to the owner.
Aggressive driving: Local drivers may honk, but it's considered normal. Be careful on roundabouts.
Why rent a car in Tbilisi instead of at the airport?
Many tourists think renting a car at the airport (TBS) is more convenient. But renting in the city has significant advantages:
Price: Often lower in the city (Didube, Station, or residential areas) by 10-15% due to the absence of airport fees.
Car selection: More options from private owners, including rare models or manual transmission cars.
Return conditions: Easier to arrange a late-evening or early-morning return (hosts live nearby).
Transfer: You can take a comfortable bus from the airport (line 337 or 137) for 1 GEL, saving 50 GEL on a taxi, and pick up the car in the morning well-rested.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is an International Driving Permit required for renting in Tbilisi?
For citizens of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan — a national driver's license (plastic card) is sufficient. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is only required for some insurance cases or if your license is old-style (without Latin letters).
Where is it best to pick up the car: City Center or a residential area?
If you're staying in the Old Town, pick up the car in Vake or Saburtalo so you can leave it at the hotel's free parking and walk or take the metro to the center. If your route is immediately to the regions (Kakheti, Kazbegi), choose a pickup point at the city exit (Didube, TEC).
Can I pay for the rental in cash in Lari or Rubles?
Yes, most hosts on TripBox accept payment upon pickup (cash in GEL, USD, RUB) or bank transfer. When booking online, you can block any bank card, and then agree on the final payment method on the spot.
How much does gasoline cost in Tbilisi and where to refuel?
As of 2026: 95-octane gasoline — 2.95-3.15 GEL per liter. Diesel — 2.80-3.00 GEL. We recommend the SOCAR, Gulf, Wissol, Rompetrol chains. Avoid small, unknown gas stations on the outskirts.
Is it really possible to find parking near the Sulfur Baths or on Rustaveli Avenue?
Yes, but it's better to do it in the morning (before 11:00) or evening (after 21:00). During the day, the center is packed. Use underground parking: for example, under Freedom Square (1.5 GEL/hour) or near Rike Park. Paid parking is marked with red lines, free parking with white lines.
Can I return the car to a different city (one-way) from Tbilisi?
Yes, TripBox supports one-way rentals. You can start your trip in Tbilisi and end in Kutaisi, Batumi, or Telavi. The one-way fee depends on the distance and is shown in the search results.
