Booking regularly
For companies and concierges who move people through Tbilisi regularly, every booking is priced from the same published rates, per car, and every fare is confirmed in writing before the car is dispatched.
The practical benefit is that nothing about price is left to the day. Anything beyond the single booking, such as terms agreed once for repeated trips, is a question to ask in writing.
Multi-day work, planned as one engagement
On a multi-day itinerary the route changes by the hour: weather, the guest's energy, an invitation that was not on the plan, a road that closed overnight. An engagement planned as a whole can be re-planned as one; ask when you book how changes are charged.
It also matters operationally. That the guest takes the front seat, that the music stays off before ten, that there are four bags and one of them is fragile: all of it belongs in the brief, so it carries from one day to the next, and all of it is what the guest actually notices.
Multi-day work is quoted as an engagement rather than per transfer, which is what concierges building a week need in order to price it.
The brief we ask for
Every booking runs on a short brief: the flight or start time, the guest's name, party size, luggage, the hotel's name and its exact street address, and a direct contact for the day. The booking brief sets out what to send and why.
A multi-day engagement adds more: the daily start time the guest actually wants rather than the one the itinerary says, who decides when the plan changes mid-day, and what happens to the car overnight when the party is out of the city.
That last field is the one most easily left out. Where the car and the driver spend the night is worth asking when you book: what is included is confirmed in writing with the fare, before the car is dispatched. The multi-day brief sets out the other fields worth sending.
Distances, honestly
A Kakheti loop covers 200 to 300 kilometres in a day. A Svaneti round is 600 kilometres on the long days, on surfaces that punish unfamiliarity. A week that reaches both the Black Sea and the high Caucasus spends three of its seven days in transit.
It is better to learn that an itinerary does not fit before it is booked than after. On a draft week, the most useful question is usually which day to cut.
Hotels and addresses
Tbilisi hotel names are a genuine operational hazard. Stamba and Rooms are both Adjara properties and sit side by side in the same complex, which makes them easy to swap in a brief. Give the hotel's name and its exact street address together.
The city is also adding hotels, with a run of international flags arriving. New properties mean new entrances, new drop-off rules and new names that sound like existing ones, which is a reason to give the address with the name rather than trust the brand alone.
Delegations, roadshows and group arrivals
A party landing across several flights in one afternoon is several pickups rather than one booking: send every flight number with the names on it, and ask when you book how the arrivals are covered. Where the group travels on together afterwards, one V-Class replaces two saloons and the arithmetic changes.
For delegations, the airport's own Meet and Greet service is booked with the airport, and it is worth the fee when the alternative is a dozen people finding their own way through the terminal.
Crossing borders
Georgia sits between Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey, but most of the people we drive arrive by air, and border runs are not a standing service of ours. Where an itinerary needs one, it has to be arranged in advance rather than on the day, and the requirements differ by crossing and by the passenger's nationality.
Send the itinerary and the passport countries and we will tell you in writing what is possible before anyone commits to a date.

Ask when you book; the answer comes back in writing with the quote.

What do you need from us to set this up?
The standard booking brief, plus more for multi-day work: the real daily start time, who decides when the plan changes, and what the car does overnight. The journal's booking brief and multi-day brief set out the rest.
Do you handle delegations arriving on different flights?
Send the flight numbers and the names, and ask when you book how arrivals on different flights are covered: what is included is confirmed in writing with the fare, before the car is dispatched. The airport's own Meet and Greet service, if the group wants it, is booked with the airport.
Can you drive into Armenia, Azerbaijan or Turkey?
Border runs are not a standing service of ours, and most of the people we drive arrive by air. Where an itinerary needs a crossing, send it with the passport countries before anyone commits to dates, and we will tell you in writing whether it is possible.
