Is Self-Driving in Georgia a Good Idea?
Yes - Georgia has a compact, well-connected road network, and driving here is one of the best ways to experience the country's dramatic range of landscapes, from Black Sea beaches to Caucasus mountain passes, in a single trip.
Documents and Requirements
- Valid driving license (most foreign licenses are accepted)
- Passport
- Credit or debit card for the deposit
- Minimum driver age typically 21, sometimes higher for premium/SUV categories
Road Rules to Know
- Drive on the right-hand side
- Seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers
- Speed limits: 50 km/h in cities, 90 km/h on rural roads, 110 km/h on motorways unless posted otherwise
- Mountain roads (like the Georgian Military Highway) can close temporarily in winter weather
Choosing the Right Car
Economy cars are fine for city driving and flat regions like Kakheti. For mountain routes to Kazbegi, Svaneti, or Tusheti, an SUV with higher clearance is strongly recommended.
