Match the car to the region

One country, very different roads

Georgia packs cities, coast, wine valleys and 5,000-metre mountains into a small space. Here is what to drive where.

Tbilisi & the east

Economy or compact

The capital and an easy run into the Kakheti wine country. Light city cars are all you need on these good roads.

Kazbegi & the Military Highway

SUV

The paved climb north to Stepantsminda. An SUV is comfortable on the switchbacks and reassuring in shoulder season.

Svaneti & Tusheti

4x4

The high mountain regions, reached on rough seasonal roads. A genuine 4x4 is essential, not optional.

Batumi & the Black Sea

Any class

Flat coastal roads and the green hills of Adjara behind. A compact handles the coast; an SUV opens up the hills.

Kutaisi & the west

Compact or SUV

Georgia's budget-flight gateway and the canyon country around it. Easy roads to Okatse, Martvili and Prometheus Cave.

Pick up where you land

Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi airports, with one-way options across them.
