Car rental at Kutaisi airport
Kutaisi airport (Kopitnari, KUT) handles most low-cost flights, including Wizz Air, and many of them land at night. Share your flight number — we track the arrival and wait in the airport car park even if you are delayed. Paperwork takes 10–15 minutes: a photo inspection, a short contract and you are on the road to the city, the sea or the mountains.
Car rental prices in Kutaisi
The daily rate depends on the model, season and rental length — the longer you rent, the cheaper each day. Economy sedans start at $35 a day for rentals of 2+ weeks; AWD crossovers and 7-seaters 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.

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!»
