A campervan (motorhome) is a completely different way to travel. You're not tied to a schedule or a hotel: wake up among the vineyards of Kakheti, head to the sea in Batumi by lunch, and spend the night at the foot of Kazbek. Georgia is perfect for this kind of trip — diverse landscapes, excellent paved roads, hospitable locals, and affordable fuel prices.
Before booking, make sure you meet the minimum requirements — they are standard for most campervans on the platform:
The platform features four main classes of campers. Your choice depends on group size, budget, and the type of route:
Camper Van
2–3 people
Converted minivan. Compact, easy to park. Ideal for couples or solo travelers.
Consumption 9–11 L/100 km · up to 6 m
Semi-Integrated (Semi)
3–4 people
Body on a truck chassis with a driver's cab. The most popular format for family trips.
Consumption 11–13 L/100 km · 6–7.5 m
Integrated (Class A)
4–6 people
Spacious home on wheels: full kitchen, shower, toilet, separate bedroom. For long journeys with luxury-class comfort.
Consumption 14–17 L/100 km · 7.5–9 m
Caravan (Towable)
2–5 people
Towable camper. Cheaper than a motorhome but less flexible. Check tow bar requirements with the host.
+3–5 L/100 km to towing vehicle · up to 8 m
Complete Route Freedom
No hotels, no schedules. Stop where it's beautiful and move on when you want.
Save on Accommodation
A campervan combines transport and lodging. For a group of 3-4 people, the total cost is lower than a hotel plus a rental car.
Unique Locations
Sunrise at Gergeti, a night by the Alazani in Kakheti, morning on the coast. In a camper, you'll go where hotel tourists simply don't reach.
Most of the country's paved roads are accessible to campers. But size and weight impose additional restrictions — especially in the mountains:
Tbilisi → Batumi (E60)
Excellent
Expressway
Wide lanes, gas stations every 40–60 km. Great start for a camper tour.
Kakheti
Excellent
Good asphalt
Scenic route, many stops near vineyards. Recommended for first-time camper tours.
Georgian Military Highway
Accessible
Asphalt
Narrow winding roads — campers over 7 m need caution when passing trucks.
Adjara — Black Sea coast
Excellent
Good asphalt
Campsites by the sea, warm climate. Best place to park with electrical hookup.
Mestia (Svaneti)
Caution
Winding road
Narrow turns. Vans and small Semis will manage. Large integrated motorhomes not recommended.
Tusheti / Goderdzi Pass
Prohibited
Gravel and rocks
Not allowed for any camper — violates insurance, will damage the chassis. Only 4x4 off-road vehicles.
What are the minimum driver requirements for a campervan?
Age: At least 25 full years on the date of pick-up. Drivers aged 21-24 are generally refused or face a significant insurance surcharge.
Experience: At least 4 years of continuous experience from the date the license was issued.
License category: For campers up to 3,500 kg gross weight, standard category B is sufficient. An International Driving Permit is not required in Georgia — national licenses in Latin or Cyrillic script are enough.
Where can I park my campervan overnight in Georgia?
Georgia has a developed culture of "wild" camping: stopping by a river, near vineyards, or by a forest is allowed in most places for free. This is one of the main advantages of a camper tour in the country.
Equipped campsites with electrical hookup, showers, and dump stations are available near Tbilisi (Mtatsminda, Lisi Lake), in Batumi, near Gudauri, and in Sighnaghi. The cost for a night with hookup is typically 15–25 USD.
Prohibited: Overnight stays near protected natural sites without permission, blocking access to farmlands, and polluting water sources.
How much does it cost to rent a campervan in Georgia and what's included?
Camper Van — from $100 per day. Semi-Integrated (Semi) — from $140 per day. Integrated (Class A) — from $180 per day.
Usually included: Basic insurance, bed linen, kitchen kit, gas for 1-2 weeks, one set of towels.
Paid separately: Fuel, toll roads, campsite fees, extended insurance (Super CDW), child seat, additional driver.
Deposit — typically $300–600, refunded after vehicle inspection with no damage.
Can I get to Kazbegi or Svaneti with a campervan?
Kazbegi (Stepantsminda): Yes, the Georgian Military Highway is fully paved. Vans and small Semis will get there without problems. For large integrated motorhomes, the winding roads are narrow — caution is needed. The ascent to Gergeti Trinity Church itself is only by local 4x4.
Mestia (Svaneti): The road is paved, but the turns are very narrow. A small Van will make it. A camper longer than 6.5 m is not recommended. From Mestia towards Ushguli — only 4x4, campers are not allowed.
Tusheti (Omalo) and Goderdzi Pass: Absolutely prohibited for any campervan. Gravel, rocks, cliffs — this is territory for expedition 4x4 vehicles.
What fuel do campers use and where to refuel?
Most modern campers run on diesel — it's more economical and better suited for heavy motorhomes. Some vans are gasoline-powered. Always check the fuel type with the host upon pick-up.
Refuel only at branded gas stations: SOCAR, Wissol, Gulf, Rompetrol. They are located along all major highways every 30–60 km. Above Pasanauri (on the road to Kazbegi) and in Svaneti, stations are much fewer — fill up in advance.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to drive a campervan in Georgia?
No. According to Georgian law, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not required if your national license is in Latin or Cyrillic script. A standard national category B license and your passport are completely sufficient — both for police checks and for activating insurance with the host.
If your license is in a script that does not use Latin or Cyrillic characters (e.g., Arabic, Chinese), we recommend getting a notarized translation or obtaining an IDP in advance.
