Why go one-way
Georgia is long and narrow, and the best trips run across it rather than out-and-back. A one-way rental means you never retrace your route or waste a day driving home: you land, drive the country once, and hand the car back where you finish. For anyone flying into Kutaisi's budget hub and out of Tbilisi, it is the obvious choice.
Popular one-way routes
Kutaisi Airport → Tbilisi
The classic budget-flight move: land at Kutaisi (KUT), drive west-to-east seeing the canyons and Gori on the way, and drop the car in the capital.
Tbilisi → Batumi
Finish a Georgia trip on the Black Sea coast and fly home from Batumi (BUS), or simply avoid the long drive back.
Tbilisi → Kutaisi Airport
The reverse of the most common route, timed to a cheap flight out of Kutaisi.
Batumi → Tbilisi
Start on the coast and end in the capital, with the wine country or the mountains slotted in along the way.
How to book a one-way rental
Search your pick-up city and dates, then set a different drop-off location. The results show only the suppliers that allow that exact route, with the one-way fee already included in the price. Compare, pick the car, and book with free cancellation. If a route looks thin, nudge your dates or try the nearby airport, which usually has more one-way stock than a city-centre office.
Things worth knowing
One-way fees vary by route and are highest on long or one-directional corridors where the car has to be driven back. Popular routes are better served and cheaper. Book earlier than you would for a same-city rental, since the pool of one-way cars is smaller, and always confirm the drop-off address and hours so the hand-back is smooth.
