We found GSS Car Rental through a ChatGPT recommendation, and it turned out to be a great choice. They had one of the best prices we found in Tbilisi, and we rented a Mitsubishi Pajero that was perfect for our trip. We drove all around Georgia, including some rough mountain and off-road routes, and the car handled everything easily. We barely even needed to use the 4x4 mode. The service was also excellent. They delivered the car directly to our hotel and picked it up from the hotel when we returned. Communication was easy, friendly, and reliable throughout the whole rental. Highly recommended! If you're planning a road trip in Georgia, definitely check with GSS Car Rental and see if they have a car that fits your trip.Posted on Google![]()

From beginning to end, we had just a careless experience renting a car from GSS Car Rental. We rented a Renault Duster, which was in great condition and good tires. They delivered and picked up the car from our hotel in Tblisi, and throughout the journey they were very quick to respond to any questions on road conditions.Posted on Google![]()
