About the Toyota Sienna
The Toyota Sienna is a full-size minivan with eight seats, sliding doors on both sides and a 3.5 V6 petrol engine driving the front wheels through an automatic gearbox. With every seat in use it still takes four large suitcases, and it uses about 11.0 L per 100 km. It drives like a big, comfortable car rather than a van, so it feels familiar from the first kilometre.
It is made for a family of six to eight landing in Tbilisi, or for two families sharing one car on a road trip: the Kakheti wine villages, the 370 km drive to Batumi, or a summer day on the Georgian Military Highway to Kazbegi. Grandparents and small children climb in easily through the wide sliding doors. As a front-wheel-drive minivan it stays on paved roads, so for snowy passes in winter take the Mitsubishi Delica D:5, which has four-wheel drive.
Tip: with all eight seats in use, soft bags pack in more easily than hard cases; if your group has nine people or a big suitcase each, the Hyundai H-1 carries seven large suitcases.

Toyota Sienna: questions and answers
How much does it cost to rent a Toyota Sienna in Tbilisi?
The Toyota Sienna costs 155 GEL a day for 1 to 3 days, 147 GEL a day for 4 to 7 days, 140 GEL for 8 to 14 days and 132 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 Sienna to Kazbegi, Gudauri or Svaneti?
Yes in the warm months: the roads to Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) and Mestia are paved. In winter, when the Jvari Pass and Gudauri can be under snow, choose an AWD or 4x4 car instead. The Toyota Sienna is not made for gravel valleys such as Truso or Juta.
How many people and suitcases fit in the Toyota Sienna?
The Toyota Sienna has 8 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 Sienna?
No. The Toyota Sienna 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 Sienna use?
About 11 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 Toyota Sienna?
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.
Toyota Sienna or Kia Carnival: which eight-seat minivan should I rent in Georgia?
They are close rivals, so choose by budget and feel. The Sienna has the lower daily rate and slightly lower fuel use, about 11.0 L per 100 km against 11.5 L, while the Kia Carnival is a newer model year with a 3.3 V6. Both have eight seats, sliding doors, an automatic gearbox and room for four large suitcases, and both are approved for paved roads only.
Toyota Sienna or Hyundai H-1: which suits a group of eight?
Choose the Sienna if comfort matters most and the Hyundai H-1 if luggage does. The Sienna rides like a large car, with a quieter cabin and a smooth V6, takes four large suitcases with all seats in use and costs less per day. The H-1 is a diesel van with nine seats and room for seven large suitcases, which suits a group that brings a big case each. Both are driven on a normal category B licence.
