The easiest base for a road trip across Georgia
Tbilisi is where almost every Georgia road trip starts. Mtskheta is 25 minutes away, the Kakheti wine villages about 1.5 hours, Gudauri and Kazbegi 2.5 to 3 hours, and Borjomi or Vardzia a comfortable day. Taxis and tours cover the city, but outside it a rental car is the only way to stop where you want, stay longer where you like it and skip the crowded marshrutkas.
GO Car Rental runs its own fleet in Tbilisi, inspected and photographed by our team. You pick the car online, pay 15% to confirm and meet our colleague in the city centre or at your hotel, where you check the car together, sign the contract and pay the rest plus a refundable deposit of about $200. City pickup has no delivery fee, which makes it the cheapest way to rent a car in Georgia.
- No delivery fee for Tbilisi city centre pickup and return
- Hotel or apartment handover at a time that suits you
- Insurance and unlimited mileage included in every rental

Where travelers drive from Tbilisi
The old capital and the Jvari monastery above the river junction, the classic first drive out of Tbilisi.
Sighnaghi, Telavi and family wineries along the Alazani valley. Stay the night and drive back after a slow breakfast.
The Georgian Military Highway over the Jvari pass to Gergeti Trinity church. See our Gudauri and Kazbegi page.
Mineral springs, the Borjomi park and the cave city of Vardzia, best as a two-day loop.
Cave monasteries on the Azerbaijani border; the last stretch is a rough road where clearance helps.
Cross the country west to the Black Sea, return the car in Batumi or Kutaisi (one-way fee applies).
