Why automatics are easy to find here
In much of Western Europe an automatic hire car is a scarce, costly upgrade. Georgia is the opposite. A large share of the country's cars are imported automatics from the United States and Japan, so the rental fleets are full of them. Whatever class you want, from a tiny city car to a seven-seat 4x4, there will be automatic options.
Which automatic for your trip
For Tbilisi and the wine country, an automatic economy or compact car is cheap and effortless. For the Military Highway to Kazbegi, an automatic SUV takes the work out of the climbs. For Svaneti or Tusheti, choose an automatic 4x4 that can handle the rough mountain roads. The search filters let you set transmission and class together.
No surprises on gearbox or price
Every listing states its transmission clearly, alongside the deposit, cover and full-coverage price. Filter to automatics, compare the local suppliers, and you will know exactly what you are getting before you pay, with free cancellation on most cars.
