About the Toyota RAV4
The Toyota RAV4 hybrid is the all-rounder of the range. Its 2.5 hybrid system drives the front wheels, and a separate electric motor powers the rear axle when extra grip is needed, so you get all-wheel drive with fuel use of about 5.8 L per 100 km. It seats five, and the trunk takes four large suitcases.
That combination suits the grand tour: up the Georgian Military Highway to Kazbegi, west to Kutaisi, north to Mestia and Ushguli in summer, then down to Batumi. In winter the AWD makes it a dependable choice for Gudauri and the Jvari Pass. Gravel valleys like Truso and Juta are rough enough to need a 4x4 with low range, such as the Land Cruiser Prado.
Tip: on a loop of 1,500 km or more, the hybrid's low fuel use adds up to a real saving compared with a petrol SUV of the same size.

Toyota RAV4: questions and answers
How much does it cost to rent a Toyota RAV4 in Tbilisi?
The Toyota RAV4 costs 120 GEL a day for 1 to 3 days, 114 GEL a day for 4 to 7 days, 108 GEL for 8 to 14 days and 102 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 Toyota RAV4 to Kazbegi, Gudauri or Svaneti?
Yes. With all-wheel drive the Toyota RAV4 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 Toyota RAV4?
The Toyota RAV4 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 Toyota RAV4?
No. The Toyota RAV4 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 Toyota RAV4 use?
About 5.8 litres per 100 km with its 2.5 hybrid 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 Toyota RAV4?
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.
Is the Toyota RAV4 hybrid a real all-wheel-drive SUV?
Yes. Besides the hybrid system that drives the front wheels, the RAV4 has a separate electric motor on the rear axle that powers the rear wheels when you pull away or the front wheels lose grip. There is no driveshaft, but it gives useful extra traction on wet, snowy or loose roads. It is not a 4x4 with low range, so rough gravel valleys such as Truso still need a proper off-roader.
Toyota RAV4 or Land Cruiser Prado: do I need the bigger 4x4?
Only if you plan gravel valleys or Tusheti, or need seven seats; for paved roads and mountain routes in any season, the RAV4 is enough. The Land Cruiser Prado adds low range gearing, a body-on-frame build and a third row, and it is approved for Truso, Juta and, with written permission, Tusheti. The RAV4 costs less per day, uses much less fuel and has no deposit.
