Car Rental in Batumi: Explore the Black Sea Coast (2026)

Batumi is the pearl of the Black Sea—a city where modern skyscrapers meet ancient history and subtropical nature. While the famous Boulevard is perfect for walking, the real magic of the Adjara region lies in the mountains, waterfalls, and hidden beaches nearby.

To experience everything from the Botanical Garden to the alpine peaks of Goderdzi, public transport is not enough. Rent a car in Batumi with Star Car and discover the region at your own rhythm.

Which Car Fits Your Batumi Trip?

Adjara has diverse landscapes. Choosing the right vehicle is key to a smooth trip.

1. For City & Coastal Cruising

  • Best Choice: Sedan or Convertible.
  • Why: If you plan to stick to Batumi, Kobuleti, and Ureki, the roads are paved and flat. A sedan is fuel-efficient and easy to park near the beach.

2. For Mountain Adventures (Upper Adjara)

  • Best Choice: 4x4 SUV (Toyota Prado / Subaru Forester).
  • Why: Visiting the Goderdzi Pass, Green Lake, or the remote villages of Keda? These roads can be rough and unpredictable. An SUV gives you the safety and ground clearance you need.

 Check Availability & Prices

The cost of renting a car in Batumi depends on several factors. The key among them are typically the vehicle type and model, whether it’s high, shoulder, or low season, and how many days you’re booking the vehicle for.  The most budget-friendly options typically start at $20-30 per day, with mid-range vehicles averaging around $40-60, and premium models, SUVs, and minivans costing anywhere from $60 to $100. There’s an option for every budget, really. 

Additionally, most of the companies typically keep their prices dynamic - with the surge in demand during peak tourist season (June-September) the prices tend to be the highest, on the other side, shoulder and low seasons typically see decrease in pricing between 10-20%. Starcar uses a similar policy when offering their services, so if you’re planning to rent a car in Georgia, keep in mind that late Fall and winter might be the most lucrative seasons to explore the country.

First and foremost,familiarize yourself with Georgia’s traffic regulations before hiring a car in Batumi: the speed limit in urban areas is 60 km/h, while highways allow up to 110 km/h. While Georgia is full of known wine aficionados, there’s a zero-tolerance policy for drunk driving under 21 (with the legal blood alcohol limit at 0.0%), and a very strict policy for adults over 21 at 0.08% (i.e. if you drink the famed wine, call a taxi). Seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers. The country drives on the right side of the road. Your home country's license will likely be valid as long as there’s English translation (otherwise you may need to have it translated and notarized).

Depends on the company. Some companies may charge around 10-15% more than city locations because they may have higher operating costs and airport concession fees to pay. Others balance their prices so that any additional fees airport pickup may incur are distributed among all potential renters, so they display the same prices. Others prefer delivering to airports and may not have offices in all the cities they operate in.

Starcar is in the latter category - we maintain an office in Kutaisi, but deliver rentals to all three major airports operating in Georgia: Kutaisi, Tbilisi, and Batumi. So if you book a vehicle for your Batumi adventure with us, you’ll be able to pick it up at the airport on arrival, without having to take a detour to our office.

The optimal time to book a car rental in Batumi is 2-3 weeks before your vacation. It’s a sweet spot that balances availability and competitive pricing. Last-minute bookings during peak season (June-September) tend to be more expensive, and leave you with far fewer choices. On the other hand, extremely early bookings may cost you possible promotional offers. Especially if you’re set to arrive during off-peak months (October-April) - booking during summer may cost you 15-20% more than necessary. 

Yes, there are no legislative restrictions on how long you can get a car rental in Batumi for - an entire year, if you’d so like. However, companies providing rental services aren’t legally obligated to provide long-term options if they don’t wish to, so not all of them may provide the option. Do your research prior to booking.

On the other hand, most companies not only offer long-term rentals, but often do so with substantial discounts (though what qualifies for a long-term rental is individual with each company).  At Starcar, we consider any booking lasting over 14 days to be long-term. Contact us via WhatsApp to find out the exact terms regarding your specific schedules.
