Car Hire in Tbilisi, Georgia

For this car hire, the handover in Tbilisi felt personal instead of transactional. The useful part was discussing the first route out of Tbilisi before pickup, so the car matched both city parking and the mountain day. By the time we loaded the car, the route toward the Armenia road was already clear. Pickup planning had to respect Old Tbilisi hotel lanes, Vake apartments, Saburtalo addresses, and airport arrivals all need different handover timing. FSTA handled it as a self-drive hire request, not as a generic pickup.
