4x4 travel · Georgia

Hello,

My son and I are heading to Georgia this summer to explore the High Caucasus (Svaneti, Kazbek, and Tusheti regions). For this, we’re planning to rent a 4x4. However, the rental agencies we’ve found prohibit driving on the tracks to Omalo (Tusheti) and/or Ushguli (Svaneti). Do you know of any agencies in Tbilisi (local and reliable) that allow rented 4x4s to drive on these tracks? If so, which ones?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

For our trip to Georgia in July, I’d like to rent a 4x4 starting from Tbilisi. Do you have any rental companies to recommend? The traditional rentals like Hertz, Avis, etc. seem way overpriced compared to local companies—what do you think? Are they properly insured?

Has anyone here tried Geo Rent Car, Auto 4 Rental, or Sur Price?

Also, I’m looking for info on the condition of the Ushguli–Lentekhi track—is it passable?

Thanks for your tips! Penlan
