Car rental at Tbilisi Airport (TBS)

Car rental at Tbilisi Airport (TBS) | AVIS UAE

Tbilisi is a popular trip from the UAE. flydubai flies to Tbilisi from Dubai International, and Air Arabia flies from Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. The airport is about 17 km south-east of central Tbilisi, so a car also gives you the freedom to see Georgia beyond the capital.

 

Plan your journey from Tbilisi Airport

 

The Kakheti Highway leads from the airport into the city. In Tbilisi, wander the Old Town, take the cable car up to Narikala Fortress and cross the Bridge of Peace at dusk. About half an hour north, Mtskheta is a UNESCO-listed former capital with the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral.

 

Top tips for driving in Georgia

 

  • Drive on the right.
  • Speed limits are posted and enforced, so follow the signs.
  • Livestock can wander onto rural and mountain roads, so drive carefully.
  • In winter, mountain passes can close or need snow tyres. Check road conditions before you set off.
  • Check the current licence and insurance requirements for your nationality before you travel.

 

 

Beyond Tbilisi with your rental car

 

Head east on the Kakheti Highway to Georgia's wine country, with the hilltop town of Sighnaghi and many family cellars. For mountains, the Georgian Military Highway runs north to Kazbegi, around three hours from Tbilisi, with the Gergeti Trinity Church above the village. Our Georgia page covers the routes.
