Every time a traveler lands at Kutaisi Airport, there is a familiar excitement—the sense that another adventure in Georgia is about to begin. From the breathtaking mountain roads of Svaneti to the rolling vineyards of Kakheti, the country is meant to be explored behind the wheel. However, the choice of car rental company can make a significant difference in how smooth and stress-free the journey starts. Over several trips, we have tried multiple car rental companies which offer pick ups at Kutaisi Airport, each with its own personality and perks. Some stood out for their warmth and service, while others impressed with their transparency and reliability. Here is an honest assessment of the top car rental options at Kutaisi Airport, designed to help travelers hit the road with confidence—and perhaps fall a little more in love with Georgia along the way.

WeRent

Starting with the favorite: WeRent. WeRent came from the shared vision of three friends—Nikoloz Vashadze, Kristina Pawlak, and Luka Davitadze—and, since 2019, it has grown into one of Georgia’s most trusted car rental brands. What stands out most is how they’ve stuck to their original idea: that renting a car should feel as easy and stress-free as driving one. 

Their fleet has expanded to more than 200 vehicles, from budget-friendly compact city cars and electric vehicles for the eco-conscious, to 4x4s built for Georgia’s rough mountain roads. Every one of them comes with full Casco insurance and needs no deposit. It’s clear in the way that they work that every decision—from transparent pricing to thoughtful service—is based on their mission to make travel in Georgia both accessible and enjoyable. 

What really sets WeRent apart is the people behind the company. It is clear that they genuinely care about travelers and the experiences they help create. 

Their 24/7 multilingual support team is always quick to respond, and they’ll happily recommend the best vehicle for your route ahead of your arrival—whether that’s an automatic for exploring the city or a tougher jeep for Svaneti’s winding climbs. For those with sustainability in mind, WeRent’s electric vehicles are a breath of fresh air—and they will happily direct you to charging points countrywide as you explore. 

It’s reassuring to know that the WeRent mechanics personally test their off-road cars, as well as the potential routes their customers might take throughout the country. 

With easy airport pickups/drop-offs not only in Kutaisi, but in Tbilisi and Batumi too, and an ever-growing reputation for honesty and affordability, WeRent has become a go-to whenever travelers want to explore Georgia freely—with the comfort of knowing real locals have their back.

Pros

• The team is experienced and ready to give human, practical advice on which car to hire and route to take.
• 24/7 multilingual support.
• Fast swap-overs if something goes wrong with your vehicle.
• Delivery to and pick up from your door, anywhere in Georgia.

Cons

• You can’t cross the borders to explore neighboring Armenia, Azerbaijan or Turkey—all cars must stay in Georgia.

MyRentCar

Now on to MyRentCar. While the English on their website isn’t the best, nor is the layout as clear as the other sites on this list, the cars they rent out tend to arrive spotless, the tank is always full, and staff members will meet you when you land at Kutaisi Airport. The same setup is available in Tbilisi and Batumi too, and all of their 12 possible pick up locations. The personal service is appreciable—it’s a young, eager team, who not only offer GPS, a local travel guide and map for free, but also promise 24/7 support on your journey. For families or anyone who values comfort and flexibility, options like baby seats and short-term rentals make a big difference. 

That said, when comparing experiences, WeRent goes a step further in terms of coverage and transparency. While MyRentCar assures you that every car is insured, WeRent openly advertises no deposits and 100% Casco insurance that covers accidents, theft, and third-party damage. They also seem more focused on helping travelers choose the right vehicle for Georgia’s mountain roads or off-the-beaten-path routes. MyRentCar looks fantastic for comfort and friendly service, especially if you’re sticking to city drives, but if you want complete financial peace of mind or if you plan to hit some rougher terrain, WeRent might have the edge here.

Pros

• Family-friendly options.
• 24/7 support.
• GPS included.
• Local travel guide and map provided.

Cons

• Support for difficult off-road trips is not necessarily strong.
• Insurance details not made clear on the site.

LocalRent

The LocalRent website makes renting a car at Kutaisi Airport easy. The layout is clear, and you can quickly filter cars by type—SUVs, 4x4s, or even just the newest vehicles, as well as choose whether to include full insurance or not. You can even pick from providers who don’t require a deposit or a credit card. Click on a car, and you’ll get a full breakdown of what’s included, along with a nicely laid-out price list for any extras like GPS or baby seats. It is always reassuring to know exactly what you are getting before booking, and with LocalRent, you save both time and money.

In our experience, the process from reservation to pick-up is smooth, and the car always turns up clean, well-maintained, and ready to go. LocalRent has been operating since 2011, and now serves more than 30,000 customers from around the world every year—impressive!

That said, for renting in Georgia, some of the usual quirks of an aggregator are noticeable. Because LocalRent connects you to local providers rather than managing the fleet directly, the quality of service can vary depending on the specific car owner you’re assigned. While most experiences tend to be positive, we recommend you take time to read all the terms carefully and double-check the insurance coverage and local policies. Other travelers have reported unexpected fees or unclear contracts, so it’s important to stay vigilant. 

Overall, LocalRent is a great option if you’re comfortable managing the details yourself, want competitive pricing, and like having a wide selection of local cars at your fingertips—though for fully predictable service, a company that manages its own fleet might be a safer bet.

Pros

• Clear web layout.
• Lots of rental options and providers.

Cons

• As an aggregator, you’re dealing with individuals, not fleet-owners.
• Insurance coverage and local policies not always clearly laid out: read the terms carefully before clicking on “Rent.”

Cheap Car Rental (CCRent)

While we all like a bargain, any company with the word “cheap” in its name can make us wonder about quality. That said, CCRent was a pleasant surprise. Their pricing is competitive, and their fleet is diverse, from SUVs and 7-seater minivans to luxury and off-road vehicles. They offer the flexibility of picking up your car from either Kutaisi Airport or in the city, and dropping it off at numerous locations across Georgia. Having friendly staff who speak English, Russian, and Georgian helps make the rental experience even smoother, though you’ll notice the English on the site isn’t quite perfect.

With more than 10 years in business, CCRent feels well established and reliable, and the option to travel throughout Georgia—even into Armenia—adds extra convenience that many other companies, like WeRent, don’t offer. That said, if you read the fine print, crossing into Armenia is only possible if you hire a Jeep Renegade, and then only for 14-day+ rentals.

Again, if you’re planning serious off-road adventures, WeRent once more has a clear edge: they prepare their 4×4 vehicles for rough mountain routes and provide experienced guidance for remote tracks, something CCRent focuses less on. 

Overall, CCRent is great for value and vehicle selection, but for rugged off-road trips, you should still consider WeRent for that extra expertise and specialized support.

Pros

• You can visit Armenia in a rental car from CCRent.
• 200+ vehicles in their fleet.

Cons

• Variables possible in policy and insurance coverage: you need to read the fine print carefully.
• Less of a focus on off-road trip planning and support.

TakeCars

Renting a car through TakeCars for your arrival at Kutaisi Airport will be a smooth process. With over 800 vehicles listed in the Kutaisi area alone, the selection is more than generous, and you can filter by criteria like transmission type, deposit option, insurance level, and seats—which helps  narrow it down to something genuinely suitable for you and your travel plans. The rental terms are clearly outlined, too: you can see up front which insurance level is included (TPL, CDW, Super CDW or FDW), and whether a deposit is required or not. One customer noted that when the car they booked experienced technical issues on the second day, the owner immediately arranged a replacement. Conditions with TakeCars are transparent, and it feels you are dealing with a secure and reliable company.

Compared with Localrent, the other aggregator on this list, TakeCars feels somehow more consistent and transparent. LocalRent offers a wide selection of local rental providers and competitive pricing, but the experience can depend heavily on the specific car owner you get, and some users have complained that deposit and insurance terms weren’t always clearly communicated. TakeCars, while also using a vetted supplier network, clearly lists insurance options, and shows deposit terms (including some no‑deposit deals) in the booking process. So, for those who value clarity and reliability over simply finding the lowest price, TakeCars is the preferred choice—though Localrent remains a good option if you’re comfortable checking details carefully.

Pros

• 800+ vehicles available in the Kutaisi area.
• Competitive pricing.
• Clearly lists insurance options, and shows deposit terms. 

Cons

• The experience can depend on the specific car owner you get.
• As TakeCars is an aggregator, you’re not dealing with the fleet-owners directly when booking.

The Final Say

When we first compared our current favorite car rental company for arrivals at Kutaisi Airport with the others on this list—aside from the two international aggregators, LocalRent and TakeCars—we were surprised by how similar they seemed at first: all three, WeRent, MyRentCars, and CCRent, are local Georgian companies offering well-maintained cars, airport delivery, and friendly service. But after renting with them, the differences quickly became clear.

What sets WeRent apart isn’t just its clean, reliable cars or smooth booking process—it’s the people behind it. You can feel the care and honesty in everything they do. From the no-deposit policy to the thoughtful route advice and 24/7 multilingual support, it’s clear that WeRent was built on a love for travel and a genuine desire to make exploring Georgia easy and stress-free. Customers who rent from them say they feel looked after, not just as a customer, but as a traveler whose journey truly matters.

MyRentCar, with its family-friendly focus, seems to be a good choice for those who value comfort. LocalRent and TakeCars both stand out for their wide range of vehicles and flexibility, though they require a bit more care when choosing a provider. And Cheap Car Rental (CCRent) remains an excellent pick for value and adventures, especially if you want to stretch your trip beyond Georgia’s borders.

Still, we feel that WeRent has something special—a mix of reliability, sincerity, and local heart that’s hard to match.
