How car rental in Batumi works
Pick your dates on the website and you instantly see which cars are free and what the rental costs for your season and length of stay. No prepayment is needed: a manager confirms the booking on WhatsApp or Telegram and you pay when you collect the car.

- Meet at Batumi airport or delivery to your hotel, apartment or the station — $20.
- Pick-up and return between 10:00 and 20:00 at no extra cost; outside these hours — $25.
- Return in Batumi or in Kutaisi and Tbilisi (delivery to other cities is free for rentals of 7 days or more).
Car rental prices in Batumi
The daily rate depends on the model, the season and the length of the rental — the longer you rent, the cheaper each day. Economy sedans start at $35 a day for rentals of 2+ weeks; AWD crossovers and 7-seat minivans cost more. The website shows the final price for your dates with insurance (with excess), unlimited mileage and taxes included. Full no-excess cover is optional at $20 a day.
Car rental at Batumi airport
Batumi airport is 5 km from the city centre. Share your flight number — we track your arrival and wait in the airport car park even if the flight is delayed. Paperwork takes 10–15 minutes: a photo inspection of the car, a short contract and you are on your way.
Documents you need
- Passport.
- A driving licence in Latin script, or an International Driving Permit if your licence is in another script.
- Minimum age 21 and at least 2 years of driving experience.
Deposit and payment
Some cars need no deposit at all — it is shown on each car's page. For the others the deposit is paid in cash at pickup and refunded in full when you return the car after inspection. Prepayment is only needed for bookings far in advance, so we can hold the car for you.
Which car to choose in Batumi
- City and coast — compact sedans and hatchbacks: easy to park, 6–8 L/100 km.
- Mountains of Adjara, waterfalls and Svaneti — AWD crossovers (Subaru, Mitsubishi Outlander, Kia Sportage).
- Families and groups — 7-seat Kia Sorento, Mitsubishi Outlander and VW Atlas.
- Seaside drives — the Volkswagen Beetle convertible.
Day trips from Batumi by car
A car takes you where tours do not: Gonio fortress, the beaches of Kvariati and Sarpi by the Turkish border, the Botanical Garden and Green Cape, Makhuntseti waterfall and Queen Tamar's arch bridge, Mtirala and mountain Adjara. Further on are Kutaisi with its caves and canyons, Martvili and mountain Svaneti. Ready-made routes with navigation points are in our blog.
Parking and driving in Batumi
Parking in central Batumi is paid via an app or street terminals, and fines are sent to the car's plate, so we explain the rules at pickup. See our blog articles below for parking and traffic rules.
Customer reviews
«Thank you for the excellent service!»
Leo Amigood · Google Maps · August 2026«Everything was great. There was a force majeure — for technical reasons they couldn't hand over the car for a couple of hours, so they drove me home and later brought the car to my door. When I wanted to return the car early, they met me halfway and picked it up at night, outside working hours. The manager is a great guy — give him a bonus!»
