Publications about car rental in Georgia

Your first fuel stop in another country can raise straightforward questions: which fuel to choose, how to explain the order and how much to budget for the drive. When arranging car rental in Georgia, ask about these details at handover. A premium sedan or sports car needs the correct fuel specification, rather than a familiar name on a pump.

Check the vehicle you receive

Ask the rental representative to show the fuel flap label and confirm the fuel type, minimum octane rating and how to open the flap. Save the information on your phone. For petrol, numbers such as 95 and 98 refer to octane ratings; they do not make petrol interchangeable with diesel. A name such as Premium is not a complete fuel specification.

The Luxury Cars Audi A7 listing specifies AI95 petrol. Use this as a starting point

If you want to see more of Georgia without taking a long holiday, allow two days for a drive through Borjomi and Akhaltsikhe to the cave town of Vardzia. The route combines a walk in a wooded valley, Rabati Fortress and the historic sites of the Mtkvari valley. Car rental in Georgia lets you set your own pace, but an early departure and an overnight stop make the trip much more comfortable.

Day one: Tbilisi, Borjomi, Akhaltsikhe

Leave Tbilisi in the morning, heading west through the Gori and Khashuri area. After turning towards Borjomi, the road follows the valley. Stop in Borjomi for lunch and a walk; check the current opening hours of the park and other attractions before leaving. Avoid filling the afternoon with too many stops, as you still have the drive to Akhaltsikhe ahead.
