Rental prices in Georgia depend on three things: car class, season and duration. Here is how not to overpay.

## Car classes
- Economy and compact — the most affordable choice for cities and highways.
- Crossovers (Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage) — the sweet spot for mountains and families.
- Full-size SUVs (Kia Sorento, Mitsubishi Outlander) and minivans (Toyota Sienna) — for big groups and Svaneti.

## Long-term discounts
The longer the rental, the lower the daily rate. Tiers: 1 day, 2–3, 4–7, 8–13, 14–21 and 22+ days. A week costs noticeably less per day than three days, and with 7+ days delivery to Kutaisi and Tbilisi becomes free.

## Already included
- Insurance with an excess (full zero-excess cover is optional at $20/day).
- Unlimited mileage.
- Second driver.
- Car wash before handover and roadside assistance across Georgia.

## Paid extras
- Child seat — $3/day.
- Airport delivery: Batumi $20, Kutaisi $60, Tbilisi $100; free for rentals of 7+ days.
- Pick-up or return outside working hours — +$25: outside 9:00–21:00 at the office, outside 10:00–20:00 for delivery.

## Why the “cheapest” deal costs more
A low listed price often hides on-site extras: paid insurance, mileage caps, card deposits frozen for weeks. Our website price is final; the deposit is cash and comes back when you return the car.
