About the Mercedes-Benz GLE
The Mercedes-Benz GLE is the brand's mid-size luxury SUV: a 3.5 V6 petrol engine, an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive, which Mercedes calls 4MATIC. It seats five, takes four large suitcases and uses about 12.4 L per 100 km. The cabin is quiet and spacious, so long days on the road pass easily. Drivers must be aged 25 or older with a licence held for at least 3 years.
It is a natural choice for a family of four with proper luggage: collect it at Tbilisi airport, drive up to Kazbegi or Gudauri in summer or in winter, then head west to Kutaisi and the coast at Batumi. Business travellers like it for meetings in Tbilisi when the plans also include a day in the mountains. It is approved for paved mountain roads, not for gravel valleys such as Truso and Juta.
Tip: for seven seats and the same Mercedes comfort, the Mercedes-Benz GLS costs less per day; for Truso and Juta, choose the Land Rover Defender.

Mercedes-Benz GLE: questions and answers

The Mercedes-Benz GLE costs 440 GEL a day for 1 to 3 days, 418 GEL a day for 4 to 7 days, 396 GEL for 8 to 14 days and 374 GEL for 15 days or more. Unlimited mileage, basic insurance (CDW) and delivery to Tbilisi, Kutaisi or Batumi airport are included, and you pay at pickup.
What do I need to rent the Mercedes-Benz GLE?
The driver must be at least 25 years old and have held a driving licence for 3 years or more. A refundable deposit of 1500 GEL is paid at pickup and returned when the car comes back. If you would rather not drive, book the Mercedes-Benz GLE with our driver.
Can I drive the Mercedes-Benz GLE to Kazbegi, Gudauri or Svaneti?
Yes. With all-wheel drive the Mercedes-Benz GLE suits the Georgian Military Highway to Kazbegi and Gudauri, the road to Mestia and the road from Mestia to Ushguli, in summer and in winter. Rough gravel valleys such as Truso and Juta need a 4x4.
How many people and suitcases fit in the Mercedes-Benz GLE?
The Mercedes-Benz GLE has 5 seats and 5 doors. With all seats in use the boot takes about 4 large suitcases plus small bags. For bigger groups see our minivans and 7 seat cars.
Is there a deposit for the Mercedes-Benz GLE?
Yes, a refundable deposit of 1500 GEL is paid at pickup and returned when the car comes back in the same condition. The rental is also paid at pickup, in cash or by card; nothing is charged when you book.
How much fuel does the Mercedes-Benz GLE use?
About 12.4 litres per 100 km with its 3.5 V6 petrol engine. The fuel policy is same to same: you receive the car with a full tank and return it full.
Where can I pick up the Mercedes-Benz GLE?
At Tbilisi, Kutaisi or Batumi airport, where we meet you in the arrivals hall, or at your hotel in Tbilisi or Batumi. Delivery is free; returning the car in another city has a fixed one-way fee shown in the booking summary.
Mercedes GLE or BMW X5: which luxury SUV should I rent in Georgia?
They are close rivals and cost the same per day. Both seat five, take four large suitcases, have all-wheel drive and are approved for Kazbegi and Gudauri in any season. The GLE has a 3.5 V6 and is tuned for a soft, relaxed ride, while the BMW X5 has a 3.0 turbo engine, feels sportier on mountain bends and uses a little less fuel, about 11.8 L per 100 km against 12.4 L.
Is the Mercedes GLE a good car for a ski trip to Gudauri?
Yes. Gudauri is about two hours from Tbilisi on the Georgian Military Highway, and the GLE's all-wheel drive makes the snowy climb far more relaxed. The boot takes four large suitcases, enough for a family of four and their winter gear. Check that the road is open on the day, since the Jvari Pass above Gudauri can close after heavy snow, and ask for snow chains in the booking comments if a storm is forecast.
