Quick answers

How to get the lowest rate on a rental car in Batumi?

Book a compact car a couple of months before the summer season starts. Batumi is a popular resort, and demand for rentals in summer is high.

What is the minimum rental period in Batumi?

The minimum is 1 hour, but you pay for a full day, so the car is yours until the end of it. If you only need to get from Batumi Airport to the center, an hour is enough.

Can the rental car be delivered at another location such as my hotel?

Choose hotel delivery when booking, and we will contact you to confirm the details.

Can I have another passenger drive the vehicle?

Only if you specify them as an additional driver in the rental contract.

Are there any mileage restrictions?

Naniko sets no mileage limits in Batumi or at any other location in Georgia, including trips to Tbilisi and Kutaisi.

Do you have air conditioned cars?

All Naniko cars are air conditioned, so Batumi’s summer heat won’t be a problem.

Can I drive to Tbilisi?

Yes. The route follows the East-West Highway, about 380 km and roughly 5 hours.

Can I drive to Kutaisi?

You can. It is about 150 km along the East-West Highway, roughly 2.5 hours of driving.

What if I want to visit Turkey? Can I take the rental car outside Georgia?

Yes, you can. Arrange a cross-border permit with us in advance.

How do I get the best car rental offers?

Tell our managers your dates and the car you want, and we will agree on the best offer with you personally.

Is it worth renting a car in Batumi in winter?

Check the forecast a week before you arrive. If snow is expected, skip the rental: snow makes driving in the city difficult and traffic can come to a standstill. In good weather, a car is a fine choice.

Can I change my reservation after booking?

Any detail of your booking can be changed. Send the exact changes to our support team, ideally 48 hours in advance.

What are the benefits of renting a car on a long-term basis?

A lower rate. Naniko also handles the car’s technical maintenance, and you can quickly swap it for a car of a similar class.

What will happen if I return the car late?

Let our managers know as soon as you realize you will be late. A one-hour delay may be free, but depending on the circumstances and the length of the delay, a late fee may apply.

I haven’t received a confirmation. What should I do?

Write to contact@naniko.ge with your booking details or call us, and we will check it quickly.

Who should I contact if I have any additional questions?

Our managers can help with any question about your rental, both before pick-up and during the trip.
