Car rental at Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is desk-served around its flight bank: Hertz, Europcar, Alamo and Enterprise all list TBS locations, and Georgia's meet-and-greet platforms - Localrent prominent among them - hand keys over at arrivals for the many late-night landings. City offices and delivery cover pickups after a car-free start, which suits Tbilisi: the old town is walkable and taxis are cheap, so most renters collect the car for the country rather than the capital. From TBS the classics fan out - Kakheti's wine country east within two hours, Kazbegi north up the Georgian Military Highway, Davit Gareja's desert monasteries south - and vehicle choice follows route: sedans manage the highways, Tusheti and the rough valleys are 4x4-with-experience territory, and winter runs to Gudauri need proper tyres.
