Car Rental in Tbilisi: Best Prices & Airport Delivery (2026 Guide)

Tbilisi is a city of contrasts—ancient winding streets meet modern avenues. While public transport exists, relying on buses or the metro limits your freedom, especially if you want to explore the hidden gems outside the city center or enjoy Tbilisi's vibrant nightlife.

At Star Car, we make car rental in Tbilisi simple, transparent, and safe. Forget about strict schedules and taxi negotiations—explore Georgia's capital at your own pace.

Why Rent a Car in Tbilisi? (Top 3 Reasons)

Many tourists ask: "Is it difficult to drive in Tbilisi?" The traffic can be busy, but having your own car offers advantages that outweigh the challenges:

  • Visit Hidden Locations: Places like the Chronicle of Georgia or Turtle Lake are hard to reach by bus. A rental car gets you there in minutes.
  • Day Trips: Tbilisi is the perfect base for day trips. You can easily drive to Mtskheta (20 min) or the Signagi wine region (1.5 hours) and be back for dinner.
  • Comfort & Safety: Avoid crowded buses during rush hour. Enjoy climate control, privacy, and the safety of a modern vehicle.

What is the Best Car for Tbilisi Streets?

Exploring Tbilisi requires the right vehicle. Based on our experience, here is what we recommend:

1. For City Exploring: Economy & Compact

  • Models: Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Accent, Toyota Corolla.
  • Why: Tbilisi's historical center (Old Town) has narrow streets. A compact car is easy to park, fuel-efficient, and nimble in traffic.

2. For Mixed Trips (City + Mountains): Crossovers

  • Models: Subaru XV, Toyota RAV4.
  • Why: If you plan to drive from Tbilisi to Kazbegi or Gudauri, you need higher ground clearance and more power. These cars offer the best of both worlds.

FAQ: Car Rental in Tbilisi

Q: Can I pick up the car at the airport and return it in the city? A: Yes! We offer flexible pickup and drop-off locations, including Tbilisi Airport and our city center office.

Q: Is parking free in Tbilisi? A: Not everywhere. Tbilisi has zonal parking. Ask our team when you pick up the car—we will explain how to pay for parking easily via mobile apps.

Q: Do I need an SUV for Tbilisi? A: For the city itself? No. A sedan is perfect. But if you plan to drive to the mountains in winter, we highly recommend an SUV or 4x4.

Yes, renting a car is worth it for travelers who want the flexibility to explore at their own pace. While the city center itself is relatively walkable, reaching more remote or off-the-beaten-path areas can be time-consuming and/or expensive if you don’t have access to a private vehicle. Having a rental car also allows you to conveniently travel outside the city, reaching nearby attractions like Tbilisi National Park or the historic town of Mtskheta.

To rent a car with Starcar, you must be at least 20 years old with a valid driver’s license you’ve held for at least one year. If your license is in English, it’s generally enough. However, if your driver’s license is in a language other than English, you will need to prepare a notarized English translation. You’ll also need your passport for identification and, sometimes, your visa.  Make sure your driver’s license covers the specific category of vehicle you plan to rent, such as category B for standard passenger vehicles.

The cost depends on the type of vehicle you need. A standard sedan typically costs around $25-30 per day, while an SUV costs $50 on average, and larger vehicles like minivans can cost up to $75 or higher per day. Prices also vary based on the seasons, with summer the most expensive and winter the most affordable time to hire a vehicle.

Yes, tourists can drive anywhere across Georgia using their valid foreign driver’s license. As long as the license covers the correct vehicle category and is in English, you do not need an international driver’s permit.

Driving around the capital city can be challenging, especially for those not used to local driving habits. Georgian drivers can be unpredictable, traffic congestion is common during rush hours, and pedestrians have haphazard ways of walking. However, all in all, Georgia’s capital is not much different from other megapolises - as long as you’re patient, attentive, and follow the rules, the roads are perfectly manageable.
