Most tourists arriving in Georgian come to Kutaisi, one way or another. They either plan to go there at the outset to see local landmarks (and they are worth it) or visit this city on their way from Tbilisi to Batumi. But more often than not travellers arrive at Kutaisi International Airport.
Another reason to rent a car in Kutaisi is that local buses do not run according to the timetable but instead based on occupancy, and the bus departs only after the last ticket has been sold. The next coach will arrive only by the time of the next scheduled run. Taxi may be another option, but taxi drivers like to haggle over the price, and if they see a family with a kid and many suitcases, they can easily raise the fare by 1.5 or even 2 times. It is not always possible to agree on the price with them. It will be cheaper to hire a vehicle.
The airport is half an hour's drive away from the centre of Kutaisi. Batumi is just 2-2.5 hours away, and Tbilisi is 5 hours away, so many travellers choose car rental service on our website with delivery to the airport.
