The coast, the mountains and the whole country from one base
Batumi is Georgia's seaside city: a long promenade, the botanical garden, the old town and, half an hour inland, the green valleys of Adjara with their stone arch bridges and waterfalls. Public transport covers the seafront well and almost nothing beyond it. With a rental car you can swim in the morning, have lunch in the mountains at Machakhela and be back for the sunset at the pier.
GO Car Rental delivers to Batumi International Airport (about 6 km south of the centre, next to the Turkish border) and to any hotel or address in the city. All cars belong to our own fleet and are inspected before every handover; you pay 15% online and the rest, plus a refundable deposit of about $200, at pickup. Delivery to Batumi Airport or to your hotel costs $160 for the pickup and $160 for the drop-off, shown separately from the daily rate on the booking page. One-way trips to Kutaisi and Tbilisi are available.

Where we meet you
Batumi International Airport (BUS) has one terminal, 6 km south of the city. Our colleague waits at the exit of the arrivals hall with a GO Car Rental sign and your name; for a city pickup we bring the car to your hotel or apartment at the agreed time.
Night flights and the Sarpi border
We meet every flight, whatever the hour, for the same $160 delivery fee. If you cross from Turkey on foot at Sarpi, 17 km from the airport, we can deliver the car to the border car park or to your hotel in Batumi instead: tell us when you book.
Ten minutes of paperwork
Passport, driving licence and the booking confirmation on your phone. You check the car together with our colleague, photograph the bodywork, sign the rental contract, hand over the deposit of about $200 and pay the rest of the rental. Fuel is full to full.

Choose Batumi Airport or Batumi city as the drop-off point and tell us your departure time. Our colleague meets you at the terminal or at your hotel, checks the car with you and returns the deposit on the spot. Allow 15 minutes before check-in.
