Insurance & deposits
What's covered, and how the security deposit works.
Insurance
Every car includes third-party liability insurance as standard, in line with Georgian law. This covers damage you may cause to other people or vehicles. Optional full-cover (reducing or removing your excess) can be added for most cars — ask at pickup or in your booking message.
The security deposit
Each car has a refundable deposit, shown on its page before you book. The deposit covers things like damage, missing fuel, or traffic fines during your rental. It is taken at pickup (held on your card or in cash, depending on the company) and returned in full after the car is returned in its original condition.
What the deposit is not
The deposit is not an extra charge or a rental fee. If the car comes back as it left, you get the full amount back.
Excess
If you choose the standard cover, you are responsible up to the excess amount for any damage. Full-cover options lower or remove this — worth it for mountain and winter trips.
Accidents
In an accident, make the car safe, call the police to record it (required for any insurance claim in Georgia), and contact the rental company. Keep any report and photos.
