Do I Need to Pay Tolls in Georgia? 2026 Update

Mostly no. Georgia's national road network, including the main E60 highway connecting Tbilisi to the Black Sea coast and the E70/Military Highway toward Russia, is toll-free for all vehicle types. The only toll facilities are specific tunnels on mountainous routes.

Key Reality: The new Rikoti Tunnel on the E60 corridor (Tbilisi–Kutaisi) is the primary toll facility in Georgia. Most other roads, including the main transit routes, remain free.

2026 Update: The Rikoti Pass highway modernization project, partially financed by international development banks, continues to expand Georgia's modern motorway capacity. The new Rikoti Tunnel charges tolls for all vehicles. The Georgian government has explored broader road-pricing concepts for future motorway segments but has not enacted legislation.
