Route: the Georgian Military Road
The road from Tbilisi to Kazbegi follows the Georgian Military Road across the Caucasus — a historic route of merchants, armies and poets and one of the most scenic roads in Georgia. The driver knows every bend.
On a private transfer you can stop free of charge at the Zhinvali Reservoir with its turquoise water, at the medieval fortress of Ananuri (sixteenth–seventeenth centuries) and at the Friendship Monument with its Soviet mosaic at 2196 m. The highest point of the trip is Jvari Pass (2395 m), after which the road descends to Stepantsminda (Kazbegi).
Practical tips
- Book ahead in season. From May to October demand is high — it is best to book the car 2–3 days ahead.
- Winter road. From November to April there can be snow on the pass: we use winter tyres and adjust the departure time to the road conditions.
- One way or return. Tell us up front if you need the driver to wait or bring you back the same day — the price depends on it.
- Luggage and child seats. Luggage space is free; a child seat is available on request at no extra charge.

Why a private transfer
No cramped marshrutka and no haggling at the taxi rank. A private transfer means a fixed price agreed in advance, door-to-door pickup at any time, a comfortable air-conditioned car and a driver who knows the mountain road. Add photo stops or ask the driver to wait in Kazbegi — and the transfer becomes a free day in the mountains. Want a trip with a guide and a programme? See the Kazbegi tour from Tbilisi.
Driver's tip
If you want to go up to Gergeti Trinity Church (Tsminda Sameba), leave Tbilisi in the morning — by noon the summit of Kazbek is covered in cloud. On a return transfer the driver will wait while you go up to the church (by local jeep, ₾20 per person or ₾80 per car) and bring you back in the evening. Tell us your plan and we will adjust the timing to it.
