Georgia : vehicle storage

Hi all,
We're looking at leaving our car in Georgia for the winter, flying back home and resuming our trip next spring. Does anybody know of a place where this would be possible (and safe) ?

We'll be there next month.

Thanks,
Laurent

If you want to fly out of Kutaisi, there is a little Guest House nearby called Little Georgia Guest House. It is a self sufficiant farm and Aslan and his old mum are very helpful. We left our car now two times on their place and been home for a couple of months. Coordinates you find on iOverlander.

Hi Christian,

Very good news. Have you got more information about the time you can leave your bike (or my rig) in Georgia ??

Thanks in advance for your reply

Cheers.

Hi Eric,


as far as I am aware the TIP is valid for 3 month.


When you talk about several month did you leave the country after the break or continued in Georgia?


regards
Bernd

Very interesting. I see this place (called beautiful georgia guesthouse) is now on booking.com and on google maps, but it has only phone number as contact. Maybe you have email and you can share it with us?

Does anybody know if this is true?
I entered Georgia 2 times, last being 2016, but I don't remember how things worked with the vehicle: do they give you some TIP papers at the border or not?

thanks!

Same plan, heading to Georgia from Iran, leaving the motorcycle somewhere for winter season. I have as posible place to store vehicles Green House Hostel at Tbilisi. Two close friends told me that they saw vehicles stored there.
About the TIP, I have not 100% reliable info. I remember that 4 years ago they told me that I didn't need visa for 1 year, and can't remember about the TIP. I will update info as soon as I arrive to Tbilisi.
Kind regards.

Sorry for long time no response.
Green House Hostel is a posible place to leave motorcycle inside the small yard. There is place for 7-8 motorcycles, they are not interested in cars.
I had some mechanical problems last day off the journey, and spent all the time before fly out of the country fixing some of them, so I couldn't find time to ask directly to the authorities about the TIP. People I asked told me that travellers that went out even longer than 1 year didn't report paperwork problems. It's no official info.
I had to make vehicle insurance entering Georgia, I was advised by officers about the new rule and I did it just after exiting of the border (Aktas).

Regards.
