Driving in Georgia (country): speed limits, cameras and fines
Driving in Georgia is comfortable: roads are good, police are polite, and the rules are familiar. But there are a LOT of cameras, and fines arrive silently. Here is what matters.
Speed limits
- Cities — 60 km/h.
- Outside built-up areas — 90 km/h.
- Motorways — 110 km/h.
Signs may lower the limit on specific stretches — in mountains and villages trust the signs, not habit.
Cameras — the main thing to know
Georgia has hundreds of cameras: speed, lanes, seat belts, phone in hand. No officer will stop you — the fine simply appears in the database days later. Typical amounts start around 50 GEL for moderate speeding and grow steeply for serious violations.
We monitor fines for all our cars automatically and notify the renter immediately, with a link to the violation video and online payment — nothing gets lost or turns into a border problem.
Alcohol — strictly zero
Georgia's formal threshold is minimal, and with a rental car the rule is simple: zero. Under our contract, driving intoxicated means a 2,000 GEL fine plus all related costs — and insurance does not apply.
Parking
Central zones in Batumi and Tbilisi are paid (apps or meters). Parking fines are small, but towing is possible — don't leave the car under prohibition signs.
Belts, phones, lights
Seat belts for everyone, phone in hand is a fine, low beams during the day are a good habit in mountains and tunnels.
If a fine arrives on your rental
No drama: we send you a notification with the details, and paying online takes two minutes. Just don't let them pile up.
