About Renting a Car at Tbilisi International Airport
Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is Georgia's largest airport and offers as many as 32 rental companies in the arrivals hall - the country's by far best selection. The airport is 12 km east of Tbilisi center and is the starting point for most visitors' Georgian car trips. With such a large selection of rental companies, there are always competitive prices to be found.
The airport is located in Lochini, 12 km east of Tbilisi center (approximately 20-30 minutes depending on traffic). From here it is 165 km and 2.5 hours' drive to Kazbegi via the Georgian Military Highway, and 70 km to Sighnaghi in the Kakheti wine region. With 32 rental companies on site, price competition is high - always compare at least 5 options and carefully read through the insurance terms.
Rent a car with automatic transmission if you are not used to Georgian city traffic, which can be intense and unpredictable. Exchange Georgian lari at the currency exchange on the airport to have cash for tolls and gas stations in more remote areas. How long does it take to pick up a rental car at Tbilisi airport?
Allow 30-60 minutes for baggage claim and car rental procedures, especially during peak season with many arriving flights. Can I rent a car at Tbilisi airport and return it in Batumi or Kutaisi? Yes, one-way rental between Tbilisi and other Georgian cities is common and offered by most rental companies, but involves an additional fee.
What document requirements apply to rent a car at Tbilisi airport? You need a valid driving license (international driving license is recommended), passport, and a credit card for the deposit - cash deposits are rarely accepted.
