I don’t like group tours, so I was very glad to find out that SakhvaTravel can put together an individual trip. They picked a route to our wishes, suggested beautiful spots and organised everything without any fuss. Georgia is in our hearts now, we will definitely come back. (translated from Russian)

I want to single out the organisation. Everything was explained in detail before the trip, questions were answered quickly, and they stayed in touch during the journey too. That matters a lot to me, because I don’t like holidays where I have to sort out a hundred organisational issues myself. With SakhvaTravel everything went smoothly. (translated from Russian)

A wonderful, reliable company: detailed information, very friendly and caring staff, always in touch. We booked a three-day route from Batumi to Tbilisi with a 4-month-old baby and sightseeing; they helped with every question and drove us carefully along a route of at least 700 km.

We were looking for a customized day trip from Batumi to Kutaisi that covered the key religious sites as well as the natural beauty of the area. Sakhva Travel delivered a perfect schedule, an excellent driver, Mamuka, and they stayed in touch with us quickly during the booking process and the day before the tour to confirm details. As it turned out we were in Bagrati Cathedral on a Sunday when 3 weddings were taking place for a very beautiful and memorable day.

Huge thanks to Saba and Timur for making our bachelor party such an amazing experience! They were professional, friendly. Everything was perfectly organized, fun, and unforgettable. Couldn’t have asked for better guides. Highly recommended, 10/10!

Questions and answers

Mandatory: Tusheti (Omalo), Upper Svaneti (Ushguli), Khevsureti (Shatili). Recommended: Goderdzi Pass after rain. All main highways work with any car.
Can I drive to Armenia?
Only with written permission and extra fee (₾50–150). You'll need Green Card insurance. Not all companies allow it.
Should I get full insurance?
Yes. Basic covers only third-party damage. Full CDW (₾20–50/day) covers the car itself. On Localrent, full insurance unlocks no-deposit rentals.
Are there speed cameras?
Yes, on all major roads. Fines are sent to the rental company and charged to your card. ₾40–500 depending on how much you exceed.
Do I need an international driving permit (IDP) to rent a car in Tbilisi?
Yes. All rental companies require a valid IDP alongside your national driving licence. Without it you will be refused. Get an IDP from your home country's automobile club before travelling.
How much does car rental cost in Tbilisi?
Budget economy cars start from ₾80–100/day (≈ $30–35). Mid-range cars cost ₾120–180/day. SUVs for mountain roads start from ₾200/day. Prices rise in summer (June–August) by 20–40%.
What deposit do rental companies require in Tbilisi?
Deposits range from ₾500 to ₾1,000 (≈ $180–360). The amount is blocked on your credit card, not charged. The block is released within 7–14 days after return.
Can I drive a rented car to Armenia or Turkey?
Only with prior written permission from the rental company. Not all companies allow cross-border travel, and those that do charge an extra fee of ₾50–150. Check the contract before signing.
Is it worth renting a car for a day trip to Kazbegi?
Financially, no — if you are 2 or more people. A guided Kazbegi day tour costs ₾175 per person and includes transport, a licensed guide, stops at key viewpoints and all logistics. A rental car will cost similar money once you add fuel, insurance and the mountain road risk.
