Top 5 best motorcycle rentals in Batumi

Batumi has a way of rewarding anyone willing to get off the seafront and go looking. Ride out past the palm-lined promenade and within twenty minutes you're at Gonio Fortress, its Roman walls standing right against the coast, or climbing toward the cliffside greenery of the Batumi Botanical Garden. A motorcycle gives you that in an afternoon, not a bus timetable and a long walk back. Rent a motorcycle in Batumi and the whole stretch of Adjara — coast, hills and old town — opens up on your own schedule.

The city itself makes the case for two wheels. Batumi's old town is a knot of narrow streets where parking a car means circling for twenty minutes and paying for the privilege, while a bike slips through and tucks into any gap. Head south and the coast road to Sarpi is tight, scenic and made for a bike; head inland and the climb toward Mtirala National Park turns into proper mountain-road riding. For short hops along the boulevard or a full loop into the hills, a motorcycle rental in Batumi covers ground a car simply can't reach as easily.

Top 10 things to see in Batumi by motorcycle

1. Batumi Boulevard — the seafront promenade running the length of the city, an easy first ride to get your bearings.
2. Batumi Piazza — a central square with Italian-style architecture, a natural stop when you're exploring the old town.
3. Alphabetic Tower — Georgia's iconic tower on the boulevard, worth a quick stop for the view.
4. Batumi Botanical Garden — a cliffside garden north of the city, reached by a scenic coastal entrance road.
5. Makhinjauri — a pebble-beach village just north of Batumi, a quick coastal ride.
6. Chakvi — a coastal town known for its tea plantations, a relaxed out-of-town run.
7. Kobuleti — a long sandy beach town further up the coast, a popular longer day ride.
8. Gonio Fortress — an ancient Roman fortress just south of the city, an easy ride toward the Turkish border.
9. Sarpi — a border village with a striking beach, the southernmost coastal ride you can make.
10. Mtirala National Park — a rainforest park in the hills behind Batumi, best suited to a full mountain-road loop.

Mtirala sits higher and further than the rest, so it's worth treating as its own trip rather than squeezing it into a day that also covers the coast.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Batumi?

For anything above a small scooter you'll need a full motorcycle licence — Georgian category A, or the matching A/A2 endorsement on your home licence. Most agencies set a minimum age of 18, though some ask for 21 or a minimum amount of riding experience on larger machines. An International Driving Permit isn't formally required, but it's worth carrying alongside your national licence if it isn't in Latin script. Expect to leave a deposit, either cash or a card hold, along with a copy of your passport — the amount depends on the value of the bike.

How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle in Batumi?

A scooter runs roughly 70–80 GEL per day in low season and 100–150 GEL per day in high season. Step up to a larger-cc motorcycle and expect 150–250 GEL per day regardless of season.

• Prices climb steadily from spring, peaking in July and August.
• November through March is cheapest, though many outlets scale back hours over winter.
• Booking a few days ahead in summer helps, since the best bikes go first.

When to book a rental motorcycle in Batumi?

High season runs June through September, with July and August the busiest and priciest months on the coast. Low season stretches from November to March, when the city quiets down and rates drop, though fewer rental outlets stay fully open. May, June and September hit a good middle ground — warm riding weather, mountain routes already clear, and prices below the midsummer peak.

Local traffic rules in Batumi

Georgia drives on the right. Helmets are mandatory for both rider and passenger on any scooter or motorcycle. Speed limits sit at 60 km/h in town, 90 km/h outside built-up areas and 110 km/h on motorways unless signs say otherwise. Alcohol tolerance is close to zero and roadside checks are routine, so don't ride after drinking. If you head into the hills toward Mtirala, take the hairpins slowly — unfenced drops, gravel patches and the odd stray animal are part of the ride.
