4x4 Rental for Svaneti — Mestia & Ushguli in Tbilisi

Rent a 4x4 in Tbilisi for exploring Svaneti. Land Cruiser Prado, Lexus GX460, and Hilux Fortuner built for the Mestia-Ushguli road. Free delivery, full insurance included.

Svaneti is Georgia's most dramatic mountain region, but its roads are not for the faint of heart. From the unpaved 100km approach to Mestia to the rugged 58km track to Ushguli — with river crossings, steep switchbacks, and loose gravel — only a true 4x4 with differential lock will get you through safely. Our Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Lexus GX460, and Toyota Hilux Fortuner are purpose-built for this terrain with high ground clearance, low-range gearing, and reinforced suspension. Start your Svaneti adventure from Tbilisi with free delivery, full insurance, and unlimited mileage included.
