You finally made it! Landing in Georgia is one hell of a rush, right? I mean, all those mountains just popping up – it’s wild. Look, we all know the drill after a long flight: maybe you’re jet-lagged, probably hungry, and the very last thing you want is some ridiculous, complicated car rental routine. Here at TripRents, our entire mission, the absolute core of what we do, is making sure that moment you walk out of the terminal and hit the road feels totally seamless. It’s gotta be an honest-to-goodness start to your adventure. You should feel like you’re meeting a friend who’s hooking you up with their car, not dealing with endless corporate forms.
So, let me walk you through exactly how we handle the whole handover process at Tbilisi International Airport (TBS). It’s fast. It’s transparent. And honestly, it’s painless.
The Super Quick Prep Before You Even Land
Trust me on this one, because it saves you a ton of faffing about later: just a tiny bit of prep. If you’re sitting there waiting for your luggage, maybe scrolling Instagram, just pull these documents out first.
- Your License(s) and Passport(s): You should have the driver’s license for whoever is actually driving – plus anyone else taking a shift, of course – and your passport for ID. Simple stuff.
- The Confirmation Bit: Just keep that TripRents email, you know, the one with the voucher, handy. That has all the magic details we need to wrap things up fast.
- Money Stuff: Yeah, just have your card or cash ready for the security hold or the final balance.
And a quick promise about the pricing: We are huge on being totally honest. What you saw in the booking confirmation is absolutely what you’re paying. If there’s a refundable security deposit required (we actually offer a ton of great, totally zero-deposit options, so definitely check your specific booking!), that amount is totally clear. You absolutely won’t find any random, nasty fees popping up at the last second. Never. We pinky promise.
Welcome to Tbilisi! Now, Where the Heck Are You Supposed to Go?
Okay, you grabbed your bags, cleared customs (hopefully that went fast!), and now you’ve emerged into the main Arrivals Hall. That’s the real starting line!
Just head straight out. You’ll see the typical airport madness – currency places, some little shops you don’t need. Forget all that. Unlike those massive, impersonal global car companies that make you wait in a long, boring line for an hour, we handle things personally. You won’t find some stuffy counter inside. Instead, one of our super friendly, dedicated team members will be right outside the main doors, waiting just for you.
Look for them holding a clear, easy-to-read sign – it’ll say “TripRents” right there, and your actual name on it. They’ll usually be standing near where the taxis are gathering, so it’s impossible to miss.
And seriously, do not stress about delays. We’re tracking your flight the entire time. If you’re two hours late, no problem at all – we’ll still be there, ready to kick off your trip with a huge, warm Georgian smile.

Keys! The Final Few Steps
Once we finally meet up, we just take care of a couple of final, quick bits to get you rolling.
Our representative will quickly verify your documents. Then, we’ll go over and sign the rental agreement. Look, please, please use this time to ask any questions you have about the full insurance coverage or anything at all – seriously. We want you feeling completely, 100% comfortable. After that, we process the final payment or the security hold, and bam, the boring paperwork is finally done!
Now for the fun part: Meeting your actual car!
We’ll walk you right over to your TripRents vehicle, which is parked super conveniently close. We do a quick, crucial walk-around inspection together. We point out every tiny scratch already on the car (and it’s all noted down, documented). Seriously, grab your phone and take a few photos or a video of the car yourself before you drive away. It makes things so much simpler and totally transparent for everyone when you bring the car back.

Go Time! Getting Out of TBS
Keys in hand, paper’s signed, the excitement is bubbling—let’s actually go!
Driving out of Tbilisi International is thankfully super simple. Once you pull out of the parking area, you slide right onto the main highway (E60/S4). This modern stretch is the direct, easy route into the heart of Tbilisi city center, which usually takes around 20 minutes maximum.
Just remember that the initial highway speed limit is generally 80 km/h. Take it easy, focus on the road (you’re driving on the right!), and just start soaking up the sights. Your Georgian adventure literally begins right now!
One Last Note: You Can Always Call Us!
If you walk out and, for some reason, just can’t spot our person (maybe the crowd is just absolutely massive!), or if anything feels even slightly off, just call us immediately. Seriously, don’t wander around feeling confused! We will guide you straight to our team member.
