We followed their recommendations on which cars would suit our needs the most. Communication was friendly and very responsive from the beginning. Everything from the cars pick up at the airport to the cars drop off was perfect. Very fair prices, excellent service, GSS is the car rental services you need in Georgia 🇬🇪Posted on timothee pfeifferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented a Toyota RAV4 from GSS Car Rental and had a perfect experience from start to finish. The service was top-level, very professional and friendly. The car was extremely clean and in excellent condition, which made us feel comfortable and safe during our trip. We were allowed to travel freely around Georgia, even on snowy roads, and the car handled everything perfectly. Pick-up at the airport was smooth and quick, and the drop-off in Old Town Tbilisi was just as easy. Everything went flawlessly – fully recommended and we would definitely rent from GSS again!Posted on jacob mentelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. השכרתי אצלם רכב ,אני נמצא בגאורגיה הרבה -שרות כזה ורמת תחזוקת רכב כזו לא מצאתי באף חברה ,גם אם הרכב לא חדש אין תקלות ,נגישים 24 שעות -הכל כלול במחיר (כולל ניקיון )מבאים ולוקחים את הרכב מאיפה שתרצה -תהליך של 10 דקות ממליץ מאודPosted on Azizah AlawadhiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have to say, this was the best car rental experience I’ve ever had. I messaged GSS Car Rental the night before asking about availability, and they replied within minutes. We sorted everything out easily over text, which we then finalized by completing the reservation on the website. When I went to pick up the car the next day, I was warmly welcomed by the owners. We had a lovely chat about the roads, route recommendations, and weather expectations, which was incredibly helpful. I rented a new Jeep Renegade, and the car was perfect, clean, reliable, and drove beautifully with no issues at all. The owner was always just a text away in case I needed any help, which I thankfully didn’t, but it really showed how much they care and go above and beyond with their service. Most importantly, GSS is a trustworthy rental agency with very fair prices. They are definitely the only car rental company I’ll use from now on, and I’ll be recommending them to everyone I know.Posted on qeti giorgadzeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
