A car for a trip to Bakuriani: what to know
Bakuriani is a ski resort in southern Georgia, on the northern slope of the Trialeti Range at about 1,700 m, about 30 km from Borjomi and about 180 km from Tbilisi by road. A car lets you combine the resort with Borjomi and the Kura gorge, if the pick-up place in a rental company’s offer suits your route.
On the road
Via Khashuri and Borjomi
From Tbilisi or Kutaisi the main highway leads to Khashuri. From there a road follows the Kura gorge to Borjomi, and a mountain road climbs on to Bakuriani.

Khashuri: where the Borjomi road begins
From Tbilisi the main east–west highway passes Gori and reaches Khashuri. From here the road to Borjomi and Bakuriani leaves the plain and enters the Kura gorge.
From Kutaisi over the Rikoti Pass
Coming from the west, the highway from Kutaisi crosses the Likhi Range at the Rikoti Pass before it reaches the Khashuri area.
Borjomi and its national park
Borjomi is a spa town in the Borjomi Gorge, known for its mineral water. It lies on the eastern edge of Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park; the road to Bakuriani starts here.
Bakuriani in winter and summer
The resort has two ski areas, Didveli and Kokhta, and the main ski season usually runs from December to March. In the warmer months there is hiking, cycling, paragliding and an alpine botanical garden; check what operates on your dates.
Akhaltsikhe, Rabati Castle and Vardzia
Beyond Borjomi the road follows the Kura gorge on to Akhaltsikhe, where Rabati Castle stands in the old part of the town. The cave monastery of Vardzia, further south in the same region, is another of its main sights.
Choosing where to collect the car
Plan around the pick-up place in the actual offer. Selecting Bakuriani as a trip destination does not promise collection there.
In the offer
Check the starting point
Compare the stated pick-up place with where you will arrive and where you will stay.
If offered
Tbilisi, Kutaisi or their airports
Collecting a car in Tbilisi or Kutaisi, or at one of their airports, may suit a trip to Bakuriani, but only if a company offers that place.
Company terms
Delivery, return and winter equipment
Delivery to Bakuriani or Borjomi, a return elsewhere, winter tyres or chains and the type of car depend on the company and offer. Confirm them with the company.
Driving to Bakuriani: mountain roads
Winter
Snow and road status
Snow and ice can affect the climb from Borjomi to the resort. Check the forecast and the current road status on the day you travel.
Equipment
Tyres and chains
In winter, tyre and chain requirements can apply on designated mountain road sections. Check the current official rules and ask the company how the car is equipped.
Beyond the resort
The Tskhratskaro Pass
Past Bakuriani the road continues over the much higher Tskhratskaro Pass towards Akhalkalaki. Check its current condition before planning a route that way.
Your documents
Licence and rental terms
The company sets its document requirements. Whether a foreign licence is valid in Georgia depends on where it was issued and how long you stay; check current official rules.
Car rental for Bakuriani: questions
How do I search for a car for a trip to Bakuriani?
Choose Bakuriani and your pick-up and return dates and times. The search carries those choices to the results. Check the actual pick-up place in each published offer.
Can I pick up the car in Bakuriani or have it delivered there?
Only if a rental company publishes an offer with pick-up or delivery there. Choosing the resort as a trip destination does not guarantee either; confirm the place and terms with the company.
What if the search has no results?
There is no published offer matching those dates and destination. Try different dates or another Georgia destination; GetnDrive shows no invented cars or prices.
Can I collect the car in Tbilisi, Kutaisi or at an airport?
Only when a rental company offers pick-up there. Check the offer and confirm the handover place with that company.
Which way does the road to Bakuriani go?
From Tbilisi or Kutaisi the main highway leads to Khashuri. A road then follows the Kura gorge to Borjomi, and from Borjomi a mountain road climbs to Bakuriani, about 30 km away.
Is the road to Bakuriani passable in winter?
GetnDrive cannot confirm current road conditions. Bakuriani has cold, snowy winters; check the weather and the current road status on the day you travel.
Will the car have winter tyres or chains?
That depends on the company and the specific offer. Ask what equipment the car has, and check the current official rules for winter mountain roads.
Do I need a four-wheel-drive car for Bakuriani?
GetnDrive cannot tell you which car is enough for your trip. Conditions change with the season and weather; check the car’s details with the company and the road status before you go.
Who sets the price and deposit, and whom do I pay?
The rental company sets the price, deposit and conditions in its offer, and you pay it directly. GetnDrive does not take the rental payment or deposit.
Is insurance included?
Coverage depends on the company and its offer. Check what is included and any exclusions before deciding.
Will my foreign driving licence be accepted?
Ask the company which documents it requires. Whether a foreign licence is valid in Georgia depends on the country of issue and length of stay; check current official rules before travel.
