Car rental in Georgia: documents and licenses

What documentation is necessary for renting a vehicle?

Both a valid driving license and passport must be presented.

Does Georgia accept foreign driver's licenses, or is an international permit needed?

If your driver's license was issued by one of the countries that are signatories of the Vienna Convention, you do not need an international driver's license to drive in Georgia. However, if your country is not on this list, and unless a separate bilateral agreement exists with Georgia, you will need to present an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your national license.

Will my U.S. driver's license be accepted in Georgia?

To drive in Georgia, your U.S. driver's license must be accompanied by a valid International Driving Permit (IDP).

Is there a minimum age to rent a car with GO Car Rental?

There is no fixed minimum age or experience rule. If you are a young or new driver, message us before booking so we can confirm the car for you.

Prices, insurance and deposit

What does the rental price cover?

Rental rates are based on a 24-hour period beginning at the time of vehicle pickup. The price covers insurance, along with delivery and return service fees.

What type of insurance is covered in the rental price?

In most cases, the rental price includes standard insurance coverage such as third-party liability, driver and passenger accident protection. All our cars are insured with CDW and third-party liability. Every vehicle in our fleet is insured for road traffic accidents and theft.

It's important to understand that insurance claims are only valid with an official traffic police report. In the event of an accident, do not move the vehicle and immediately contact the police to report the incident.

Am I required to leave a refundable deposit?

We take a refundable deposit of about $200 at pickup as a security measure to cover any potential damage not included in the insurance coverage or to cover the insurance deductible (franchise). It is returned when you bring the car back in the same condition.

How can I pay for my booking?

The reservation payment is paid online by card, while the remaining balance is settled with us at pickup.

Booking a rental car in Georgia: pickup and changes

Do you charge for cancellations, and what's the process?

GoCarRental offers free cancellation when notified at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled pickup time via email or phone. If notice is not provided within this timeframe, the reservation payment will be non-refundable.

Where should I go to collect the car I reserved?

We can deliver the vehicle directly to your hotel or meet you at the airport (see car rental at Tbilisi Airport) to hand it over in the designated parking area.

What happens if my flight is delayed? Will the car still be available?

Yes, the car will still be available for you. We monitor your flight details in advance to ensure timely handover.

Is it possible to edit my booking after confirmation?

You can update your reservation directly on our website, or contact us via email or phone for assistance.

Can I request a rental extension remotely, or do I have to come in person?

You can contact us directly to request an extension of your rental period. No need to come in person.

On the road

Are there any limitations to the unlimited mileage policy?

Drive freely: our rentals come with unlimited mileage.

How does the fuel policy work? Can I bring the vehicle back without refueling?

The car will be delivered with a full tank of fuel and, likewise, must be returned the same way. Otherwise, the cost of the missing fuel will need to be reimbursed to us.

Can I drive the rented vehicle outside of Georgia?

Cross-border travel with a rental vehicle is permitted only to Armenia. In addition, the necessary border documents must be arranged in advance by us. Please tell us about the trip before you book so we can prepare the documents.

What should I do if the car is damaged, stolen, or involved in an accident?

In the event of a road accident or any other type of damage, the customer is required to contact the traffic police and properly document the incident. It is also essential to inform us immediately. Failure to do so may result in the insurance company refusing to cover the damages.

Drivers, extras and equipment

Do I have to pay to add another driver to the rental?

There is no fee for adding a second driver. Each additional driver beyond that will incur a charge of $5 per day.

Is it possible to add a child safety seat to my booking?

Yes, child seats are available upon request. Please inform us in advance if you need one, as an additional charge applies.

Do your cars come with GPS units?

However, GPS devices are not included with the vehicles. We recommend using offline navigation apps such as Maps.me, or online options like Google Maps and Waze for reliable directions.

No question matches that. Ask us directly on WhatsApp and we'll answer within minutes.
