Rentmotors rental terms
Rentmotors is part of an international rental network with a Tbilisi airport station. It publishes its deposit for each car group and takes no prepayment. It takes cards only, blocks a $300–600 deposit, adds a mandatory airport service charge and limits daily mileage, and its rules text is written around Russia, so ask which clauses apply in Georgia.

Where Rentmotors’s own pages disagree
Ask Rentmotors to confirm these points in writing before you pay.
- Cheapest price: the Tbilisi page says 'Starting from 33.00 USD per day' on a 7-day basis, while the Tbilisi page shows Renault Logan at $29 (marked 'Под запрос' = on request) and every other car at $56 or more ('in 5 days').
- Opening hours: meta descriptions of the Rules page ('35 rental stations operate 24/7') and Booking management ('35 rental stations work 24/7') conflict with the Tbilisi station page, which lists 'Working mode: 9 – 21' for both Tbilisi stations.
- Years in business: the home page meta says '16 years of successful work' while the page body says '17 Years in business'. Locations: '41 Rental locations' on the home page vs '35 rental stations' in the rules meta.
- Rules text is generic and Russia-centric (IDP recommended 'outside of Russia', cars 'cannot be dropped off outside the Russian Federation', child seats 'mandatory in Russia'), so it is unclear which clauses apply to the Georgia branch.
