A great option if you want to deal with a local company instead of a US or European multinational. Competitive rates, nice guys who spoke English, quick responses to emailed questions, car was brought to our hotel, and altogether a hassle-free experience. They also arranged the necessary paperwork to bring the car into Armenia.Posted on Google Dalsoo Park2026-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good service & communication. Trip to Armenia is possible.Posted on Google Jan Petric2026-04-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The car was delivered to us at our desired location in the city. We had no problems on the way. It was great that we could also go to places we wouldn’t have been able to reach with a regular car. In some areas, the roads are quite difficult to drive and steep. On the main roads, you need to pay attention to speed limits—we even got a speeding ticket right away. The car also had all the necessary equipment for camping in nature. We were traveling with two children and had a wonderful time without any issues. Thank you, GSS Car Rental, for all your kindness.Posted on Google אליסף עטיה2026-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to recommend GSS car rental .. The cars arrived clean and tidy, comfortable for a 9-day stay For the third time and we always left satisfied and the price is the best you can ask for.. Zurab took care of everything around whether it was the licenses and the car delivery was perfect from the airport pick-up and return at the airport Thank you 👏🏻 🇬🇪 You don't have to we will come back for sure🇮🇱Posted on Google Sven Kirsten2026-04-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Es war eine rundum zufriedene Erfahrung von Anfang bis Ende. Von der Anlieferung des Mietwagens zum Hotel, der Vorbereitung der Ausstellung der Papiere zum Grenzübertritt nach Armenien und der ständige Kontakt per WhatsApp sowie der Abholung des Wagens vom Hotel, war super durchorganisiert.Posted on Google Wanyi Wang2026-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I dropped in and rented a Toyota RAV4 for a late March trip to Gudauri and Kazbegi. The car handled the mountain roads with ease and came in excellent condition, equipped with proper winter tires. Seeing vehicles being serviced at the main office was a reassuring detail of a well-managed car rental provider. Zurab showed me several options and was patient and thoughtful in helping me choose (and thanks again for the help afterwards too) - I've already sent your contact to a friend who's going to Georgia end April :) GSS has an office in old town and just outside. They deliver vehicles and pick up as required. They’re also reachable on WhatsApp, which made communication for extensions easy (given my plans were weather dependent) and added a sense of reliability throughout the trip.Posted on Google Anna Balkis2026-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
