Cadillac Escalade

Rent Cadillac Escalade in Tbilisi and Batumi

The Escalade gets booked for arrivals that matter: a wedding party, a delegation, a family of seven landing at two in the morning with a season's worth of luggage. Rental in Georgia starts from $400 per day. Under the hood is a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 hp and four-wheel drive; 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds is brisk for something this size, though speed is not really what this car is about.

Autohub delivers the Escalade to Tbilisi, Batumi or Kutaisi airports. Most guests take it with a driver, but self-drive is available, and full insurance is included in either case.

Presence with a purpose

Seven seats mean the entire group rides together, and the third row works for adults rather than serving as a formality. Winter in Gudauri suits it: four-wheel drive, heated seats all around and a cabin quiet enough for a conference call on the way up the pass. In summer the same car runs the coastal route to Batumi with the composure of a lounge on wheels. If the trip involves more people than luggage space usually allows, this is the car that ends the discussion.
