Tbilisi uses a mix of citywide municipal permits and hourly zonal parking (signs marked A with a three or four-digit code) at 1 GEL per hour, after a free 15-minute grace period.
You pay through the official Parking Tbilisi app, bogpay.ge or orange/blue bank pay-boxes on the street.
Foreign licence plates are charged exactly the same as Georgian plates, the fine for not paying is 50 GEL, and towing costs about 200 GEL minimum.
Outside the four big regulated cities, Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and Gori, almost all parking is free.
Rules: right-side driving, 60/110 km/h limits, BAC 0.03%, front seatbelts and child seats required.
Parking in Georgia: An Overview for Visitors
Parking in Georgia requires understanding local zonal rules. In major cities like Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and Gori parking is regulated and requires payment via municipal app, website (for example bogpay.ge) or street pay-boxes. Everybody should pay for the zonal parking as soon as they park to avoid fines and tow-aways. Outside these four cities, parking is almost always free.
How parking works in Georgian cities vs. rural areas
All parking in Georgia could be split into 2 types :
Four regulated cities, Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and Gori, each have their own paid municipal paid spaces. Each city has one company managing the system, so the same fee applies across the whole city. You can buy daily, weekly, monthly, six-month or annual passes. Tbilisi has an extra parking caveat: hourly zonal parking.
Everywhere else — Sighnaghi, Telavi, Mtskheta, Borjomi, Mestia, Stepantsminda, mountain villages, national parks — parking is free unless a sign says otherwise. Just park sensibly, do not block driveways or sidewalks, and you will be fine.
Near tourist attractions, you'll often encounter parking attendants (people in green vests). It's important to know that they are not official employees, and you have every right not to pay them.
You will also find private paid car parks at malls (most are free), the airport, train stations, markets and some hotels. These are gated — you take a ticket on entry and pay at a machine before driving out.
Free vs. paid parking — what to expect
In Tbilisi, free parking in the city centre is almost a myth. The exceptions are some small back streets without any "P" signs, and a few areas in old Tbilisi.
Outside the centre and in residential districts, there are still many free spots. Always look for the rectangular "P" sign; if there is no zone code (a letter A/B/C with four numbers), the area runs on the citywide municipal subscription, and your rental car probably already has it. Confirm this with your rental agency.
In Batumi and Kutaisi, paid parking is everywhere within the city, but rates are very low (a few GEL per day). In rural Georgia, just relax — parking is free.
Parking in Tbilisi: The Complete Guide
Parking in Tbilisi operates on a zonal system, with rates of 1 GEL per hour in paid zones (after a free 15-minute window). Street parking requires immediate payment via the official "Parking Tbilisi" app, the bogpay.ge website, or street pay-boxes. Free street parking lots are generally not available in the city centre.
Tbilisi parking zones explained zonal and municipal parking spots
Tbilisi has two layers of paid parking, which are quite easy to understand:
Citywide municipal (subscription) parking — most "P" signs in Tbilisi belong to this system. There is no hourly rate; you pay a flat fee (50 GEL/year, 25 GEL for six months, or 4 GEL/week) and the pass is linked to your licence plate. Most rental cars already include this pass.
Hourly zonal parking — found in the busiest streets (around Kote Abkhazi, Abanotubani, Freedom Square, parts of Vake and Saburtalo). These spots are marked with extra signs showing a zone letter (A) followed by a three/four-digit number — for example, A722 or A2017. You must pay for these by the hour, every time you park, even if your car already has the citywide subscription.
Tbilisi was originally designed to charge 1 GEL/hour for Zone A, 2 GEL/hour for Zone B and 3 GEL/hour for Zone C, but in practice you'll find only "A" zones with a fee of 1 GEL per hour across all zones after the first free 15 minutes. Each vehicle gets four free 15-minute sessions per day across different lots; on the fifth stop, the full hourly rate applies from the first minute.
The official zonal parking map is available inside the Parking Tbilisi app and on parking.tbilisi.gov.ge — both show every zonal lot with its code. Use Google Translate to read the website in English.

Tip: if you're not planning to stay in Tbilisi for longer than a week, the simple plan is to pay hourly using the app or website each time you park in a zonal bay.
Street parking rules and signage
Parking signage in Tbilisi is European-style. Tap each sign below:
READING PARKING SIGNS
Tap each sign
Blue P
Parking allowed. If there's no zone code under it, you're in municipal subscription parking.
P + zone code
Hourly zonal parking. Pay from the moment you stop. Look like a letter with 3 or 4 numbers. For example: A722 or A2048.
No parking
Stopping briefly to drop off is OK; leaving the car is not. 50 GEL fine.
No stopping
Even brief stops are forbidden. Immediate fine risk.
Towing
Your car will be towed to an impound lot. Price starts at 200 GEL plus daily storage.
Parking on a sidewalk, bicycle lane or pedestrian crossing leads to immediate towing, not just a fine. This is enforced more strictly each year.
Tbilisi parking rules at night
Tbilisi parking rules apply 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends and public holidays. There is no overnight free period. If you park in a zonal spot at 22:00 and leave the car until 09:00, you are charged for the full eleven hours unless you have an active zonal pass.
For overnight parking, your safest options are:
Your hotel's parking lot or garage, which is usually included or charged separately at a low daily rate.
A paid private garage like Galleria Mall (open 24/7), or private lots near Galaktioni, Dadiani and Orbeliani Square in Sololaki.
A citywide subscription pass if your rental does not already have one — this covers any non-zonal "P" sign in the city.
If you stay several nights in Old Town, ask your hotel in advance: many small guesthouses do not have their own parking and you will need to find a paid lot nearby.
Parking garages and paid lots in central Tbilisi
Central Tbilisi has more private paid lots than people think. Useful ones for tourists:
Galleria Tbilisi (Freedom Square) — underground garage, open 24/7, paid by the hour. The most central indoor option.
East Point and Tbilisi Mall — large free outdoor parking.
Sololaki / Galaktioni Street and Dadiani Street lots — small private lots on flat-rate daily prices, good if you are based in Old Town.
Rates at private lots are usually 1–3 GEL per hour or 15–30 GEL per day. Some accept cash only, others have card terminals.
Where NOT to park (towing zones, fines, restricted areas)
The fastest way to lose 200+ GEL on holiday is to park in the wrong place. Avoid:
Sidewalks — automatic towing, even if other cars are doing it.
Bicycle lanes — 100 GEL fine and immediate towing.
Bus and taxi stops — 100 GEL fine.
Pedestrian crossings and within 5 metres of them.
Disabled parking spaces without a valid permit — heavy fines and towing.
EV charging spots if you are not actively charging or you have a petrol car.
Anywhere blocking a building entrance, fire access, or driveway.
Standard parking fines in Tbilisi are 50 GEL (most common). Towing costs 150 GEL plus 20 GEL per day of impound storage, so even a one-day mistake usually starts at around 200 GEL.

The most reliable way for tourists in 2026 is paying through bogpay.ge or the pay-boxes. Unfortunately there are issues with registration in the official app and most online payment websites do not accept non-Georgian cards. We hope that it's a temporary issue and it will be resolved soon.
To pay for parking in Tbilisi, tourists can use the official Parking Tbilisi mobile app, local Bank Pay-Boxes (orange Bank of Georgia or blue TBC Bank machines), or the TBC Pay and Bog Pay payment websites. You enter your vehicle's licence plate number, then either select your designated zonal lot code (e.g. A722) or buy a timed daily, weekly or monthly pass.
The most reliable online method for foreign visitors in 2026. No account needed, you pay by plate, and foreign Visa and Mastercard work — but you have to enter through the right section.
Choose "Tbilisi Parking" — a pass or a zone, depending on what you need.
Enter your car plate number in Latin letters, the parking zone code and the number of hours, then pay.
Important
Mobile onlyIf you don't see "zonal parking" in the menu, refresh the page.
Foreign cardMake sure you pick "Payment from foreign cards" — otherwise a foreign Visa or Mastercard will be declined.
02
Bog Pay (orange) and TBC Pay (blue) terminals
Cash and cards, no app
ATM-shaped street terminals you'll see across Tbilisi. They take cash, and most also take cards. A solid fallback when you don't want to use a phone or don't have a card.
Step by step
Find an orange or blue terminal — there is usually one within 300m of any zonal lot.
Tap "Parking" / "Tbilisi Parking" on the menu.
Enter your plate in Latin letters: AA777BB.
Choose the zone code and how long you want to park.
Pay with cash or card, and keep the receipt.
Important information
Best for
Paying with cash, or when you can't register in the app.
No verification
Terminals do not ask for SMS verification or Georgian ID number.
Where to find
Outside metro stations, near banks, and at most major intersections.
03
The Parking Tbilisi app
May not accept foreign ID
The easiest method when registration works. During registration, often rejects ID field with foreign documents, so most tourists end up using the terminals or the payment websites instead.
During registration, when asked about citizenship, choose "other". If you see "Not Found" after entering your passport details, the app failed to verify your foreign document, delete it and switch to another method.
If registration succeeds, add your car licence plate to the app.
Top up your balance with Visa or Mastercard or with any street terminal.
When you park, type the zone code from the parking sign, pick your car, and tap Start parking. Don't forget to use the free 15 minutes included with your parking session.
Don't forget to stop the timer when you leave or it will only turn off automatically after 24 hours.
Important information
Best for
Convenient daily use, especially if you have several cars.
Watch out for
Verification failures. Don't forget to turn off parking sessions.
Requires
A balance top-up before each session; pay-as-you-go is not available.
Monthly/daily parking permits for longer stays
If you are renting a car for a longer trip and using zonal areas a lot, the all-inclusive zonal passes are good value:
Daily zonal pass: 20 GEL.
Weekly zonal pass: 100 GEL.
Monthly zonal pass: 300 GEL.
Six-month zonal pass: 500 GEL.
Annual zonal pass: 800 GEL.
You can buy them in the same way as zonal parking: app, website and street payment terminals. Note: a zonal pass does not include the citywide municipal subscription, and the citywide pass does not include zonal hours.
What to do if you get a parking fine
Fines in Tbilisi are no longer left as paper tickets on the windscreen. Inspectors photograph the car's plate, the fine is registered electronically, and the registered owner (rental company) gets a notification.
If your rental car is fined, the rental company will either:
pay the fine and bill you with their handling fee, or
forward the fine to you and ask you to pay it directly.
You have 10 calendar days to pay a fine with 20% discount and 30 calendar days to pay before the fine doubles. To check or pay:
Open the Parking Tbilisi app, add your plate, tap "fines".
Check the protocols.ge or police.ge portal for the fines.
2026 warning: in early 2026 we can see that most websites that were allowing payment for fines, like the official police website, are experiencing issues with foreign-issued cards. For now, the only viable options left are the bogpay.ge website, street payment terminals and bank branches. You can still use the governmental website to find the fine number.
Got towed? Don't panic.
Call the impound hotline or check the Parking Tbilisi app to find which lot your car is in. Bring your passport and driving license. Pay the 150 GEL towing fee plus 20 GEL per day of storage; collect within 24 hours to avoid extra costs.
This is the only official municipal parking app for Tbilisi. It has a clear English interface. Use it to:
Find paid and free parking on a live map.
Pay hourly zonal parking by entering the zone code.
Activate the free 15-minute window.
Buy daily, weekly, monthly or longer passes.
View and pay parking fines.
Pros: official, accepts foreign plates, supports English, accepts foreign credit cards. Cons: problems with registration without Georgian ID number.
Third-party navigation apps with parking layers
For finding where to park before you arrive, these apps are useful:
Google Maps — shows mall and garage parking lots, with user reviews.
Yandex Maps / Yandex Navigator — very popular in Georgia, often more accurate for local parking lots and Tbilisi traffic than Google Maps.
Tbilisi Airport Parking
Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) — officially Shota Rustaveli Tbilisi International Airport — has four on-terminal parking zones, plus a separate lot for car-rental vehicles.Parking operates 24/7. The first three hours are charged at a flat rate that depends on which zone you choose; after that, all four zones cost the same 1 GEL per hour. Stops of up to 5 minutes are free. Payment is in Georgian lari only — by card or cash.
The airport is about 17 km southeast of central Tbilisi. It handled 5,402,325 passengers in 2025 according to the official airport statistics, and it is by far the most common place to pick up a rental car.

Tips for picking up / dropping off rental cars at the airport
A few things that save time and stress:
Most international rental brands (Avis, Hertz, Sixt, Europcar) and large local agencies have their pick-up desk inside the arrivals hall. The actual cars are in the dedicated rental car lot. Local brands like OG Drive will meet you immediately after baggage claim and escort you to your car in the nearby parking lot.
Bring your driver's licence and passport. If you rented a car from an international company, also bring the credit card you used to book. The name on the card must match the driver's name. Local brands have simpler card options — they accept debit cards, bank transfers, and cash.
Inspect the car carefully and photograph every scratch before you drive away. Push back firmly if any pre-existing damage is missing from the contract.
If you are dropping off a car, it's better to plan 30 more minutes for car return. The free 5-minute drop-off lane is fine for passengers, but you need real parking time to do paperwork.
Many rental companies offer free delivery to your hotel in Tbilisi, which avoids airport parking entirely.
Parking at Tbilisi's Top Tourist Attractions
Old Town and Freedom Square area
This is the most challenging part of Tbilisi to park in. Streets are narrow, often one-way, steep, and almost everywhere is hourly zonal parking.
Best options:
Galleria Tbilisi underground car park (Freedom Square) — 24/7, indoor, the most reliable choice for visiting Old Town.
Private paid lots on Galaktioni / Tabidze Street and Dadiani Street in Sololaki — flat daily rate, walking distance to Abanotubani sulphur baths.
Rike Park area on the right bank — a few outdoor lots near the Bridge of Peace, then walk across.
Tbilisi Mall and major shopping centres
The good news for shoppers: Tbilisi's biggest malls offer free parking.
Tbilisi Mall (Tbilisi–Mtskheta highway) — exactly 2,000 free underground spaces across multiple levels, according to the mall's official site. Convenient if you are heading to Batumi/Kutaisi/Mtskheta.
East Point (eastern Tbilisi) — a large free outdoor lot, plus EV charging.
City Mall Saburtalo — multi-storey free parking under the building.
Galleria Tbilisi (Freedom Square) — paid, but central and convenient.
Tbilisi National Park access points
The Tbilisi National Park is a large protected area on the northern edge of the city, covering Mount Saguramo and surrounding forests. The most popular access points have small unpaved car parks — all free:
Saguramo / Zedazeni monastery trailhead — small free car park near the monastery; this is the classic start for short hikes.
Tbilisi Sea / Lisi Lake area — free outdoor parking near the lake, lots of weekend walkers.
Mtatsminda Park (city) and Turtle Lake — paid parking.
In nature reserves and national parks across Georgia, you usually pay only entrance and guide fees, not parking.
Driving and Parking Outside Tbilisi
Outside Tbilisi, parking gets dramatically easier. Only three other Georgian cities, Batumi Gori and Kutaisi, have paid municipal parking, and even there the rates are very low and usually it is easy to find a free spot (except Batumi). Everywhere else in the country, from Mtskheta and Sighnaghi to the high Caucasus villages, parking is free.
Parking by region in Georgia
Batumi
Paid — low daily rates
Georgia's Black Sea resort capital uses its own citywide municipal parking, managed by Batumi Autotransport. Rates are by the day rather than the hour and very low — usually only a few GEL.
Pay through BOG Pay or street terminals — the same orange and blue boxes you'll see across Tbilisi. There are few free parking spots and they are mostly outside the centre and the promenade.
Important information
Alternative options
Hotels right on the boulevard — most have their own parking.
Watch out for
People in green vests at popular spots. They are not municipal workers and there is no obligation to pay them.
Free spots
Most non-central yards remain free, even close to the beach in low season.
Kutaisi
Paid — low daily rates
Georgia's third city and budget-airline gateway. Paid parking is managed by Kutaisi Parking Service, with rates close to Batumi's.
Pay hourly or daily though BOG Pay or street terminals. Lots of parking spots, even in high season. If your hotel doesn't have its own lot, just park nearby.
Important information
Same warning
Ignore unofficial "attendants" — they have no authority, and you are not obliged to pay them.
Free spots
Many residential streets are unmetered. Park sensibly and you will not be ticketed.
Mtskheta
Free
The ancient capital of Georgia and a UNESCO World Heritage site, 20 km north of Tbilisi. No formal paid parking system.
There are large free parking areas right next to the two main attractions: Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in the town centre, and the Jvari Monastery viewpoint above the river confluence.
Important information
Easy day trip
Free dedicated lots at both Svetitskhoveli and Jvari — no payment, no app.
When to come
Arrive early on weekends and holidays — both lots get crowded by mid-day.
Mountain areas (Kazbegi, Gudauri, Mestia)
Free — informal
Almost always free across the high country, but informal — park sensibly and don't block pedestrian crossings.
Each major mountain destination has its own quirks worth knowing before you arrive.
Important information
Kazbegi / Stepantsminda
Main village square. The parking near Gergeti Trinity Church above the village is busy with 4×4 taxis from the village.
Gudauri
Free parking at the bottom lifts in winter. Hotels usually include parking.
Mestia (Svaneti)
Free parking everywhere except near the Tetnuldi base lifts.
National parks
Free
In Georgia's protected areas you pay entrance fees, not parking. Sometimes you can meet men in green vests - you should not pay anything to them.
The big ones tourists actually drive to:
Popular places
Borjomi-Kharagauli
Visitor centres at Borjomi, Likani and Atskuri, all with free parking.
Vashlovani
Dedoplistskaro visitor centre. You need a 4×4 to actually enter the park.
Lagodekhi
Parking at the main visitor centre near the trailheads.
Kakheti wine country
Mostly free
Roads in Kakheti are good, traffic is light, and parking is mostly free at wineries, monasteries and towns. The catch is the drink-driving limit.
Decide in advance who will not be drinking before the cellar visits. Georgia's legal limit is 0.03% BAC — effectively zero. Fines start at 700 GEL and licence loss is a real risk on random breathalyser checks.
Popular places
Sighnaghi
Free parking near the central square and outside the old city walls. Narrow streets clog up — park outside.
Telavi
Large free parking near Erekle II Palace and the central market.
Wineries & monasteries
Tsinandali Estate, Alaverdi, Gremi and Bodbe Convent all have large free car parks.
Family homestays
Park in the courtyard. No payment expected.
Final Tips on Driving in Georgia as a Tourist — What to Know Before You Go
Driving in Georgia can be rewarding, but road conditions and driving styles vary a lot between cities, highways, and mountain regions. Before renting a car, make sure you understand the basic rules, required documents, and whether your route needs a sedan, SUV, or 4x4.
Required documents
To drive in Georgia, tourists usually need a valid driving licence, passport and cars documents. Police do not ask about the rental agreement or insurance. An International Driving Permit is strongly recommended, especially if your licence is not in the Latin/Cyrillic alphabet.
For a full overview of documents, local rules, police stops, and road safety, read our detailed guide:
Guide to Driving in Georgia – 2026 Tourist Road Trip Guide
Main roads between Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Batumi, Kazbegi, and Kakheti are generally suitable for regular cars. However, mountain routes, village roads, snow, gravel, and remote areas may require an SUV or 4x4.
Not sure which car to rent? Check out our article about this:
Driving in Georgia: Do You Need a Jeep or is a Sedan Enough
Georgia uses speed cameras, red-light cameras, and road markings cameras. Common violations include speeding, using a phone while driving, not wearing a seat belt, and drink driving. Fines should be paid before leaving the country to avoid problems on the border.
For current penalties and payment advice, see our guide:
Traffic Fines in Georgia: Speeding, Payment and Penalties
Hourly zonal parking in central Tbilisi costs 1 GEL per hour after a free 15-minute grace period, and a citywide municipal pass is 4 GEL per week, 25 GEL for six months or 50 GEL per year. All-inclusive zonal day passes are 20 GEL, weekly passes 100 GEL and monthly passes 300 GEL.
How do I pay for parking in Tbilisi as a tourist?
The most reliable way to pay for parking in Tbilisi in 2026 is at orange BOG Pay or blue TBC Pay street terminals, which accept cash and most cards. You can also try the official Parking Tbilisi app or pay online at bogpay.ge or parking.tbilisi.gov.ge, but foreign cards are sometimes rejected.
Does the Parking Tbilisi app work with foreign documents and cards?
The Parking Tbilisi app often rejects foreign passports during registration, showing a "Not Found" error after the document number step. When it does register, it accepts foreign Visa and Mastercard top-ups with a 0.50 GEL commission. If verification fails, switch to a bogpay website or any street payment terminal instead.
Is parking free anywhere in Tbilisi?
Free street parking in central Tbilisi is rare, most "P" signs belong to the citywide municipal subscription system. You can find free spots in residential back streets, near the embankment by the Bridge of Peace, and at malls like Tbilisi Mall, East Point and City Mall Saburtalo, which offer free customer parking.
Where is the parking map for Tbilisi?
The official Tbilisi parking map is inside the Parking Tbilisi app and on parking.tbilisi.gov.ge, showing every hourly zonal lot with its A, B or C code (for example A722). Use Google Translate's "translate website" feature to read the portal in English, and look for the matching code on the pole.
How much do foreign-plate rentals pay for parking in Tbilisi?
Foreign and Georgian licence plates pay the same parking rates in Tbilisi, there is no tourist surcharge. Your rental car is registered against its Georgian plate, and most rental fleets already include the citywide municipal pass. Confirm this with your rental agency before driving off.
What happens if I don't pay for parking in Tbilisi?
The standard parking fine (jarimebi) in Tbilisi is 50 GEL, issued electronically after an inspector photographs your plate. You have 30 calendar days to pay before the fine doubles. Parking on a sidewalk, bike lane or pedestrian crossing triggers immediate towing, which costs 150 GEL plus 20 GEL per day of impound storage.
How much is parking at Tbilisi Airport (TBS)?
Tbilisi International Airport parking is free for the first 5 minutes, then a flat 3-7 GEL for the first three hours and 1 GEL per hour after that across all four zones. Parking #2 is closest to departures, #4 is furthest. Payment is in Georgian lari only, by cash or card.
How much is parking at Kutaisi (KUT) and Batumi (BUS) airports?
Kutaisi Airport charges 2 GEL per hour for the first 5 hours and caps at 10 GEL per 24 hours, making it the cheapest long-stay airport in Georgia. Batumi Airport uses a tiered rate: 5 GEL up to 3 hours, 8 GEL up to 6, 12 GEL up to 12 and 20 GEL per full day.
Is parking free outside Tbilisi, Batumi, Gori and Kutaisi?
Yes - outside Georgia's four regulated cities, parking is almost always free. Mtskheta, Sighnaghi, Telavi, Borjomi, Kazbegi, Mestia and the national parks all offer free dedicated car parks at major sights, and you only pay entrance or guide fees inside protected areas, not for parking itself.
Where can I park overnight in central Tbilisi?
The safest overnight parking options in central Tbilisi are your hotel's lot, the 24/7 underground garage at Galleria Tbilisi on Freedom Square, or small private lots on Galaktioni and Dadiani streets in Sololaki. Tbilisi parking rules apply 24 hours a day, so an unpaid zonal spot will still rack up charges overnight.
What does an A722 or A1017 sign mean in Tbilisi?
Signs marked with a letter A followed by a three/four-digit number (like A722 or A4017) mark hourly zonal parking lots. You must enter that exact code when paying via the Parking Tbilisi app, BOG Pay or TBC Pay terminals — it tells the system which lot your car is in.
