How kutaisi airport car rental works with DRACARS

DRACARS meets you in the airport; handover runs 24/7, and night flights at KUT are routine. Delivery to Kutaisi Airport is 50 ₾. See current cars and reserve on the DRACARS Kutaisi Airport page: /en/rent/kutaisi-airport.

Arriving at night: what to expect at KUT

Kutaisi International is compact, so you reach the hall quickly even on late flights. Use the calm pace to prepare your first kilometers before you exit.

• Set navigation while on Wi‑Fi and save an offline map.
• Meet your DRACARS agent in the terminal for a short handover; the car’s condition is recorded on video.
• If you feel drowsy, take a break; if you prefer not to drive after a red‑eye, DRACARS can provide a driver in Kutaisi (7 hours a day; fuel is on you; on multi‑day trips the driver’s meals and lodging are extra; the price shows at booking).
• Follow airport signs to Kutaisi, Batumi, or Tbilisi and stick to well‑marked main roads; skip unknown shortcuts.
• Watch for speed cameras and unlit pedestrians near villages.

Roads from Kutaisi Airport: where to drive next

• Kutaisi city: a short urban hop; expect roundabouts and city buses.
• To Tbilisi: follow E60 east over the Rikoti Pass; weather can change fast, and roadworks appear in sections.
• To Batumi: take E60/E70 west; coastal rain and wind are common in Adjara, so keep speeds steady.
• To Svaneti (Mestia): start in the morning; tight curves and possible rockfall demand full attention.
• Gravel or high mountain legs: avoid premium cars and very low sedans.

Rules and safety: quick refresher for Georgia

• Seat belts for everyone; use headlights after dusk and in poor visibility.
• Expect speed cameras and marked patrols; leave more distance instead of hard braking.
• Pedestrians may appear suddenly near bus stops and village crossings.
• In mountains, mind falling‑rock signs and use engine braking on descents.
• Carry your passport and original driver’s license in the car; fuel stations are frequent on main highways, but top up before remote sections.

Costs and documents: avoid surprises

• No deposit for most cars; premium class requires a refundable $100 deposit.
• Full CASCO is included. If your driving experience is under 2 years, a deductible applies; its exact amount is confirmed at booking.
• Tires and the undercarriage are never covered (including gravel and mountain roads); you cover repair costs, so slow down for potholes and avoid rough shoulders.
• To rent: passport and original driver’s license from any country; minimum age 21 with at least 1 year of driving.
• Extras that help at no charge: a second driver if they meet age and experience; winter tires are fitted from November.

Season and mountain timing from Kutaisi

Winter brings snow and ice to mountain passes such as Rikoti and to regions like Svaneti; plan those legs for daylight and keep speeds smooth. Spring and autumn can be wet and foggy—use low‑beam lights and give yourself more time. Summer traffic grows toward the coast; expect denser flows near Adjara and pace yourself. Set your pickup time and plan a daylight mountain segment on the DRACARS Kutaisi Airport page: /en/rent/kutaisi-airport.

In short

Night arrivals at KUT are straightforward with DRACARS: meet in‑terminal, take the main highway, and save mountain legs for daylight. Book your pickup now.
