Kutaisi Airport Car Rental: The Complete Guide for Foreign Visitors

Renting a car at Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) takes about ten minutes once you land. You need a passport, a driving licence held for at least a year, and a card for the deposit. WeRent counters sit in the arrivals hall, so there is no shuttle to a remote lot.

What you need to rent

• A valid national driving licence (an International Driving Permit is recommended but not required for most nationalities).
• A passport matching the booking name.
• A credit or debit card for the refundable deposit.

Picking up at KUT

Kutaisi is a compact airport, so pickup is fast even on peak Wizz Air arrivals. Give your booking reference at the WeRent desk, check the car over with a staff member, photograph any existing marks, and you are on the road toward Kutaisi, Tbilisi, or the Imereti wine country.

Insurance explained

Every WeRent booking includes third-party liability and CDW. The refundable deposit covers the excess; add Full Protection at pickup to reduce it to zero. Read what CDW does **not** cover — tyres, glass, and the underbody are common exclusions across Georgia.

Driving in Georgia

Roads to Tbilisi (about 3.5 hours) and Batumi (about 2 hours) are good. Fuel is widely available, but stock up before mountain routes like Svaneti. Drive defensively — local overtaking is assertive — and keep your documents in the car.
