The Surprising Cost Efficiency: Private Driver vs. Rental Car

Think renting a car is cheaper? Think again. When you add up fuel, insurance, deposits, and stress, hiring a private driver is often the smarter financial move. See the full cost breakdown.

Most travelers look at the base rental price ($50/day) and think it's a deal. But the real cost of renting in Georgia is much higher. Let's compare it to our all-inclusive service.

Hiring GeoVan Car with Driver

Private Vehicle: A clean, AC-equipped sedan or minivan just for you.
Professional Driver: An English/Arabic speaking guide who knows the roads.
Fuel Included: Unlimited mileage for your planned route.
Driver's Expenses: His food and accommodation are 100% on us.
Flexibility: Stop whenever you want for photos, coffee, or a view.

Renting a Car from a Rental Agency

Deposit: Huge credit card holds ($500+) required upfront.
Insurance Fees: Daily "full coverage" fees add up quickly.
Parking Fees: You are responsible for all city parking costs and fines.
Hidden Taxes: The advertised online price often excludes local taxes.
Traffic Stress: Navigating aggressive traffic and police stops alone.

The Verdict

For a group of 3-4 people, a rental car + fuel + insurance often exceeds $120/day. Our private driver service starts significantly lower and eliminates all liability. Why work on your vacation?

Is it Safe to Travel in Georgia? (Honest Advice)

Georgia is very safe, but the roads are wild. Here is why a local driver is your best safety feature.

Crime in Georgia is very low. The biggest "danger" for tourists is driving.

Why our drivers are safer:

Experience: They drive these mountain passes daily. They know every pothole and sharp turn.
Communication: If you are stopped by police or have an issue, an Arabic/English speaking local is invaluable.
Vehicle Maintenance: We use winter tires in season and maintain our brakes meticulously for mountain descents.

Best Time to Visit: Snow vs. Sun

Deciding when to book? It depends if you want powder snow or lush green hikes.

Winter (Dec - Mar)

Perfect for skiing in Gudauri or Bakuriani. You absolutely need a reliable driver for the icy roads.

Summer (Jun - Sep)

The best time for hiking in Kazbegi and swimming in Batumi. It can be hot in Tbilisi, so escape to the mountains!

Autumn (Sep - Oct)

Our Favorite! It's the "Rtveli" (wine harvest) season. The weather is mild, and the food is fresh.

Why Families Choose Our Mini-Vans

Traveling with kids? A private van beats a tour bus every time. Here is why.

Space to Breathe

Our 7-seater vans allow kids to spread out, nap, or play games. No cramping next to strangers on a bus.

Stops on Demand

Kids need bathroom breaks? Hungry? Motion sick? We stop whenever YOU need. You control the schedule, not a tour guide with a megaphone.

Cost Effective

Buying 4-5 bus tickets adds up. Renting one van for the whole family is often cheaper and infinitely more comfortable.
