Easy Car Rental Pickup at Batumi Airport
Welcome at BUS Arrivals
A Final Rentals staff member waits for you right inside the arrivals hall at Batumi International Airport, holding a sign with your name. You do not need to search for a rental desk or stand in a line after your flight. We check your booking, give you the car keys, and show you the car's main buttons. This easy start saves time so that you can drive to Batumi Old Town or the beach quickly.
Live Flight Tracking
Final Rentals follows your flight into Batumi as it happens. If your plane lands early or is late, we move your pickup time to match. This way, you never wait, and the car is not ready too soon. This covers charter flights, seasonal summer flights, and regular scheduled flights, so your pickup always matches your true landing time.
Fast Check-In Desk
Skip the normal rental line at BUS with the Final Rentals fast check-in desk. Guests who book online first go straight to a special counter for quick paperwork and key pickup. We stay fast but still show you the safety points and a short walk around the car. This is good for travelers who want to reach the Batumi seafront or the border with Turkey quickly.
Easy Car Return
Bringing your rental car back to Batumi International Airport is quick and simple. Drive to the marked Final Rentals return spot, let our staff check the car for a few minutes, and get your return confirmed before you walk to the terminal. We plan the time so your return stays calm, with enough time before your flight. Clear signs and helpful staff make the return easy.
After-Hours Pickup and Drop-Off
Many summer charter flights land or leave Batumi at night or very early morning. Final Rentals can arrange after-hours pickup and drop-off at BUS, so a closed desk never stops your plan. Just tell us in advance, and we will set up a safe key handover or return, with a short car check included. This is useful for early or late flights during the busy beach season.
Curbside Bag Help
Our team helps carry your bags at the curb when you get or return your car at BUS. We load suitcases into the car when you arrive and take them out again when you return the car. This makes travel easier for families, small groups, or anyone with heavy bags and beach gear after a long flight.
Clear Directions Out of the Airport
We show you the way from the pickup point to Batumi city center, or further along the coast to Kobuleti, or south to the Sarpi border with Turkey. Our staff point out the right turns, tell you about any road work, and give you the easiest way out, so first-time visitors do not get lost.
Simple Payment at BUS
Pay for your rental right at the Batumi Airport desk. Final Rentals accepts all major credit cards and shows you any extra costs or balance clearly before you sign. Staff can help with easy currency questions too, so payment stays clear and fast. Paying on-site means no hidden costs later and a clean handover of your car.
No Need for an Off-Airport Shuttle
Some rental companies make you take a shuttle bus to a lot far from the airport. Final Rentals keeps the whole process on-site at BUS, so you skip the extra bus ride, the wait, and carrying bags between stops. Your car is parked close to arrivals, so you can start driving along the coast faster after landing.
One Team for All Your Questions
A dedicated Final Rentals desk at Batumi International Airport gives you one place to go for questions, car changes, or last-minute needs. Our staff know BUS well and can fix most problems right away, without sending you somewhere else. Whether you need an extra driver or help picking the right car for the coast road, our on-site team keeps it simple.
Essential Tips for Renting a Car at Batumi Airport
Airport Pickup Procedure
After you land at Batumi International Airport (BUS), get your bags and walk toward the arrivals exit, where Final Rentals staff wait near the car rental point. Bring your valid home-country driving licence, passport, and a credit card in the lead driver's name. Photos or digital copies alone are not enough to collect the car.
Documents for Tourists and Residents
Visitors from outside Georgia should carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) with their home-country licence, mainly if the licence is not written in Latin letters. People from many countries can drive on their own licence alone if they stay less than one year in Georgia. Always keep your passport and rental papers in the car for normal traffic police checks, which are common near the Turkish border.
Credit Card Requirement
A refundable deposit is held on your credit card when you take the car, usually between USD $150 and $400. The amount depends on the car type and cover you pick. Cash, debit cards, and prepaid cards are not accepted for this deposit, so a real credit card is needed.
Child Seat Regulations
Georgian traffic law says children under 150 cm tall or under 12 years old must use an approved child seat or booster seat. Final Rentals can give you a certified child seat if you ask for it when you book online, so it's ready when you get the car.
Driving Regulations and Traffic Rules
Georgia drives on the right side of the road. Speed limits are 60 km/h in towns like Batumi, 90 km/h on roads outside towns, and up to 110 km/h on marked expressways. The legal blood alcohol limit is strict, close to 0.03% BAC. Seatbelts must be worn by everyone in the car, and using a phone while driving is not allowed.
Toll Roads and Fuel Costs
The coastal road and the main highway from Batumi to Tbilisi are currently free of tolls, though drivers should watch for signs on newer road sections. Fuel is sold by the liter, and petrol usually costs around USD $1.00–$1.20 per liter, with diesel at a similar price, making coastal road trips affordable.
Insurance and CDW Coverage
Every rental has basic Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection, with a standard excess (deductible) amount. Since the coastal road and mountain routes toward Mtirala National Park can be busy or narrow in summer, we suggest Super CDW or extra cover for lower financial risk on these routes.
Minimum Driver Age
Most rentals require the driver to be at least 21 years old. Drivers under 25 often pay a young driver fee of about USD $8–$15 per day. Bigger SUVs or 4x4 cars for mountain routes may require a driver aged 23 or 25, with a longer licence history.
One-Way and Cross-Border Rentals
One-way car rentals in Georgia between Batumi and other Georgian cities, like Tbilisi or Kutaisi, are possible for an added drop-off fee. Taking a rental car across the border into Turkey through the nearby Sarpi crossing needs written approval from Final Rentals first, along with the right cross-border papers and insurance.
Flight Delay and Booking Policy
Final Rentals' partner teams watch flights landing at BUS and normally hold your booking for one to two hours after the planned pickup time if your flight is late. Booking a few weeks early, mainly in the busy summer beach season, helps you get a better price and more time to check insurance choices.
