About the Subaru Forester
The Subaru Forester is built around Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive, which powers all four wheels all the time. It has a 2.5 petrol engine, seats five, carries three large suitcases and uses about 8.5 L per 100 km. Its tall windows give a clear view of the road, something you will value on mountain hairpins.
It is a natural choice for a Kazbegi day trip: about 155 km from Tbilisi up the Georgian Military Highway and over the Jvari Pass at 2,379 m. In winter it is a sound pick for Gudauri, and in summer it continues from Mestia to Ushguli. Rough gravel tracks such as the Truso valley still call for a 4x4 with low range.
Tip: in winter, check that the Jvari Pass is open before you set off, since the road can close after heavy snowfall.

Subaru Forester: questions and answers
How much does it cost to rent a Subaru Forester in Tbilisi?
The Subaru Forester costs 105 GEL a day for 1 to 3 days, 100 GEL a day for 4 to 7 days, 95 GEL for 8 to 14 days and 89 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.
Can I drive the Subaru Forester to Kazbegi, Gudauri or Svaneti?
Yes. With all-wheel drive the Subaru Forester 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 are better done in a 4x4.
How many people and suitcases fit in the Subaru Forester?
The Subaru Forester has 5 seats and 5 doors. With all seats in use the boot takes about 3 large suitcases plus small bags. For bigger groups see our minivans and 7 seat cars.
Is there a deposit for the Subaru Forester?
No. The Subaru Forester has no security deposit and nothing is blocked on your card. You pay the rental at pickup, in cash (GEL, USD, EUR) or by card.
How much fuel does the Subaru Forester use?
About 8.5 litres per 100 km with its 2.5 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 Subaru Forester?
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.
Subaru Forester or Toyota RAV4: which is better for Kazbegi in winter?
Both handle the winter road to Kazbegi well, but the Forester has a slight edge on snow, while the Toyota RAV4 is the better all-rounder. The Forester drives all four wheels all the time and sits high off the road. The RAV4 hybrid powers its rear wheels with an electric motor when grip runs low, uses far less fuel and takes four large suitcases instead of three.
Does the Subaru Forester drive all four wheels all the time?
Yes. Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels all the time, rather than waiting for the front wheels to slip first. On wet hairpins or packed snow that gives steady, predictable grip from the moment you pull away. It is still an AWD crossover rather than a 4x4 with low range, so rough gravel valleys such as Truso need a car from our 4x4 range.
