Here at Overlando we specialise in self-driving overland adventures. Our aim is to share our passion for road trips through new territories by providing you with everything you could ever need in our fully equipped overlanding vehicles.
We rent out several types of campers, so there is always one that fits your group size, budget and holiday plans.
Between the East and the West
We’re located in Tbilisi, Georgia, on the divide between the East and the West. Tucked away from the world in the heart of the Caucasus mountains, Georgia is the ultimate road-trip destination. Despite its small size, Georgia has more than its fair share to offer. With landscapes ranging from soaring mountains to lush green valleys, temperate rainforests to year-round snows and glaciers, it inspires awe in all who visit. No matter what you’re looking for, there’s something here for everyone. If outdoor activities are your thing, then there’s plenty for you too, such as hiking, rock climbing, horse riding, or even paragliding! If you’re just looking to escape and relax, then head on out to one of Georgia’s famous wine regions, or have yourself a beach holiday along the Black Sea coast.
Fully equipped camper rentals
No matter what you choose, all our 4×4 vehicles are fully equipped and maintained to get you there safely and in comfort. Currently we offer custom-converted UAZ Buhankas, fully equipped 4×4 Lada Niva camping cars and a luxurious Toyota Hilux Expedition Camper for rent, but we will be increasing our range in the future to allow for even more types of adventures. Click here to find out more about our awesome cars!
Overlando was founded by travel enthusiasts and experienced overlanders, so we understand fully that sometimes you want to explore even further. Contact us if there’s something that you’re interested in doing that we don’t list here on our website – We’re sure that we can work something out!
“Overlanding is self-reliant overland travel to remote destinations where the journey is the principal goal. Typically, but not exclusively, it is accomplished with mechanised off-road capable transport (from bicycles to trucks) where the principal form of lodging is camping, often lasting for extended lengths of time (months to years) and spanning international boundaries.” – Wikipedia
What our guests say
We absolutely recommend them in case of a adventurous trip in the lands of Georgia
We ranted a Uaz Buhanka for 10 days. The van has a fascinating rough and wild look, but is equipped for every need if you have to stay for some days in some remote locations of Georgia. The roof tent allowed us to sleep comfortably (we were 3 adults). Georgia is a beautiful country and Georgian people are really friendly and hospitable.
Overlando’s team has proved itself very efficient and ready to respond to every question or need we had. Their advices were very helpful and perfect.
Thanks a lot!
Living that Van-life
My husband and I rented Overlando’s UAZ Buhanka in May 2022 for a week to visit the western and north-western part of Georgia. We drove from Kutaisi to Mestia, then back down to Bakuriani, while stopping by natural sulphur pools, the world-famous Martvili canyon and Prometheus cave, and beautiful overnight camping spots.
We absolutely enjoyed our drive/stay in the UAZ. Overlando has designed the UAZ keeping user experience first – we were so pleased by how the “furniture” could be moved and folded to suit our needs. The bed linen given along with the van were also so comfortable and helped keep the heat at bay. Even the kitchenette was well thought out, and adequately stocked with travel utensils and cutlery. We frequently stopped on our route to make ourselves a cup of tea.
Although we couldn’t use the tent much as it frequently rained, it was a simple mechanism and we were surprised by the amount of space inside the tent.
The Overlando helpline is also always available to sort out any issues during the journey and they also provide 5 GB of WIFI included with the vehicle, with more data available to purchase if needed.
Overall, it was an excellent experience with Overlando, and we hope to go back to explore more parts of Georgia, with our UAZ home.
Great adventure
Driving with the Lada Niva through Georgia was an unforgettable experience. The owner Joris was super helpful and gave us a great introduction for the car and many helpful tips for the trip. Best thing about the Lada is that I can go nearly everywhere, so you can find super nice and remote camping spots. We were happy that the car had AC and the rooftent mattress was comfortable enough to spend two weeks in the car. Only thing we missed was a coolbox. We’ll definitely go again!
We had a truly amazing experience!
Our family with 2 kids (aged 7 and 10) rented an UAZ with rooftop tent for 2 weeks this summer. We had a truly amazing experience! The car was well-equipped with proper high quality camping gear, the UAZ was technically in good condition and the team at Overlando was super friendly, helpful and efficient in their communication. We felt safe camping in Georgia, the local people are friendly and always helpful. As as soon as you are used to driving this kind of car, the driving on Georgian roads is comfortable. We hope to return one day !

Excellent, well equipped and powerful vans
Excellent, well equipped and powerful vans, paired with great support from Joris, the owner of Overlando. If you’re looking for an experience of a lifetime exploring the beauty of Georgia in a 4×4 – look no further. We went with a UAZ Buhanka, and boy was it an experience – the charm of an Sovjet union technology vehicle, combined with a high attention and vision from Overlando, turning it into a proper campervan, with a fridge, a cooker, coking utensils, a comfortable bed, and more than enough storage space. Highly recommended, when we return to Georgia, we will def. rent an Overlando vehicle again. Thank you Joris and team.

We had an amazing time!
We rented the Lada with a rooftent and what shall I say… We had an amazing time! The car was great, the rooftent was very comfortable and the guys at Overlando were very nice and professional! This is the best way to see Georgia off the beaten tracks.
Thanks Sasha, Shash and Joris!
We will come again!
TOP! Definitely recommend.
We hebben 3 weken rondgereden in de Toyota Hilux met ons gezin (2 volwassen en 3 kinderen). De reis was grofweg als volgt: Tbilisi, Kazbeggi, David Gareji via vashlovani np, Dashbashi canyon, paravani lake, vardzia, Tabatskuri lake Tskhratskaro Pass, Borjomi, Kutaisi, Racha, Martvilli, en naar via de kust naar beden tot Turkse grens,Batumi, Guria (incl mount Gomismta) en eindigen in Kutaisi voor onze terug vlucht. We hebben enorm genoten. Juist de afwisseling tussen wild kamperen, campings en hotel/guesthouse beviel ons goed. De wagen is snel om te bouwen voor de nacht en bevat alles wat je nodig hebt. Ook de vele off road wegen waren goed te berijden. complimenten voor de verhuurder die ook de aut kwam brengen en ophalen op hotel adres. TOP! Zeker aan te raden.

We enjoyed a lot. We liked the variety between wild camping, campsites and hotel/guesthouses. The wagon is quick to build for the night and contains everything you need. The many off road roads were also easy to drive. compliments to the landlord who also came to bring and pick up the car at the hotel address. TOP! Definitely recommend.

Would highly recommend, we already think about coming back to explore Armenia aswell
We rented a Buhanka van for ten days for a roadtrip around Georgia. The van took a day to get used to, as the design of the car itself is rather rudimentary and you have to expect a few querks… BUT, once we got a hang of it we really had fun driving through all kinds of mountain passes, offroad tracks, cow pastures and lonely meadows! It took us anywhere we wanted to go! The interior has everything you might need for your holiday in the nature and the companies customer service was really great! No question left unanswered. Would highly recommend, we already think about coming back to explore Armenia aswell
Unforgettable trip
We rented the UAZ for 10 days and made an unforgettable trip. The contact with Overlando was very pleasant. During our trip we could always send a message if we had any questions. Would definitely recommend renting the car here!
Original review in Dutch
We hebben 10 dagen de UAZ gehuurd en hebben een onvergetelijke reis gemaakt. Het contact met Overlando was erg prettig. Tijdens onze reis konden we altijd een berichtje sturen als we vragen hadden. Zou het zeker aanraden om hier de auto te huren!
Overlando is echt een ontzettende aanarader. Het contact verliep erg prettig. Van te voren hadden we goed mail contact en konden we alle vragen m.b.t. mogelijke routes, maar ook m.b.t. huidige Covid-regels. In Georgië konden we via Whatsapp altijd vragen stellen die snel werden beantwoord.
Het is gaaf om in de UAZ rond te trekken. De wagen is van alle gemakken voorzien. Vooral de koelkast is een fijne bijkomstigheid, want na een dag hard rijden is er niks lekkerder dan een koud wijntje of biertje.
Our journey in Georgia was one of the most memorable!
Our journey in Georgia was one of the most memorable! We loved everything about it. The Bukhanka, the beautiful nature, camping in ‘the wild’, the people, the wine, the food, the culture and the history. What a lovely country. We would recommend it to everyone! #bukhanka #overlando #georgië
One of the best road trip experiences

We will definitely be back, exploring new parts of the country and will for sure use Overlando again – we highly recommend!
We rented a buhanka campervan from Overlando for 12 days in July 2022. It was an awesome experience. The buhanka is comfortable, very well equipped and fun to drive. Contact with Overlando was smooth and easy. We got very useful advice from the staff in Overlando on what to do and where to go and adjusted the the route along the way according to road conditions. Camping in Georgia was superb, the landscape is very varied, people are so friendly , we have only good things to say. We will definitely be back, exploring new parts of the country and will for sure use Overlando again – we highly recommend!

If you love outdoor life and camping, it is definitely the best way to explore Georgia.
The Lada Niva was better equiped than expected and it found a little space in our hearts
We traveled with the Lada Niva for 2 weeks and tried to explore every aspect of Georgia, with succes. If I have one recommendation for Overlando, it would be to expand their number of rental cars. Because I will tell all my friends, colleagues, family… about them and they will come to Georgia after looking at the pictures. The communication was great, the Lada Niva was better equiped than expected and it found a little space in our hearts. We made it really difficult for us to look for an even nicer holiday next year.
A wonderful experience resulting in a few good stories to share back home
We have had an unforgettable experience driving around Georgia in the UAZ Buhanka for 3 weeks. Easy to reach some more difficult spots and pleasantly equipped for a god camping experience.
It takes some time to get use to driving the UAZ, I advise to take it easy the first few days to get acquainted and ensure you get familiar with getting all mechanical parts in either 4WD or ow gearing etc. Do not this for the first time once you are on a difficult road 🙂
We also received proper support via Whatsapp/phone when we had a mechanical breakdown and the car had to be repaired. All credits to the team for arranging this over distance.
All in all in a wonderful experience resulting in a few good stories to share back home.
Thanks

Overlando provide with everything I was hoping for
I’m used to overlanding and adventure trips and Overlando provide with everything I was hopping for. The Buhanka is maybe not the best car in the world but it’s a great load of fun to drive and it will take you where you want. I really enjoyed it a lot! The work that Overlando did with the car is very fresh and functional. The Buhanka was my home for 22 days and every time I needed it, Overlando did not hesitate in giving the extra mile. They are young, efficient, and very much service oriented. I would definitely recommend Overlando and not hesitate to book again with them if I would plan another trip in this part of the world.

Overlando Lada: huge recommendation
Simply: the single best way to visit Georgia is with Overlando. You can visit everything, sleep everywhere from a meadow outside a city till a rocky riverside and feel the country as much as possible. The car is equiped with everything you need and the people of Overlando are really nice.

An amazing experience
We (2 adults/2 teenagers) rented a Toyota Hilux in August 22 and ha a great time travelling in Georgia – an amazing experience! The car was in a very good condition and perfectly equipped. The rental process with Overlando was very professional – nothing to improve 🙂 We will certainly come back!

The car takes you everywhere!
We rented the Lada Niva for 21 days and enjoyed every moment! The car was fully equipped with great camping gear and the tent was popped up (and in) very quickly. The car takes you everywhere! The team of Overlando was really friendly and made renting a car a fun and trustworthy experience (compared to the bad experience I had with bigger companies across the globe). Highly recommend!

If you plan a trip to the remotest corners of the Caucasus, I would definitely recommend you to go with one of Overlando’s Nivas.
We rented a Niva this summer. The camping equipment included is everything you might need to stay out of civilization for a few days. The roof tent is easy to handle and super comfortable. The car comes with power steering and air condition. Other than with many rental companies in Georgia, offroading is not contractually excluded. If you plan a trip to the remotest corners of the Caucasus, I would definitely recommend you to go with one of Overlando’s Nivas. For a road trip, the Niva might not be the car to go with… But take him offroad and boy, you will be impressed!
Best way to explore Georgia
We rented the lada niva and we absolutely loved it. We had no experience with wild camping or driving off road but the well equiped car and Overlando’s support made it really easy. It is a great way to explore Georgia. Highly recommended!
Overlando, a true adventure
We had a beautiful trip with the Toyota Hillux, the car had everything we needed and was in really good condition. The owner, Joris was very helpfull while planning our trip; we always got a quick and elaborate answer to all our questions.
Travelling this way was an amazing experience, the car could go everywhere and with all the supplies on board (stove, gas, shower, water, electricity). We slept in beautiful nature and could go on many adventoures, thanks to the car. Would really advice this way of travelling with Overlando!
The Lada Niva is the perfect vehicle to discover Georgia
We had a great experience with Overlando: From booking to paying to taking over the car, to driving around with it, to sleeping in the rooftop tent, to giving it back – it all went smooth and met our expectations. The Lada Niva is the perfect vehicle to discover Georgia as a couple. It has 4WD and low gears that can bring you anywhere. We visited Svaneti (from Lentekhi side), the Black Sea, Adjara, and also spent a few days at beautiful Vashlovani National Park. Overlando provided us with all the necessary and useful equipment, which all fitted into the trunk: Gas stove, fridge, water canister (already filled!), kitchen equipment (including spices, oil, vinegar!), camping table and chairs, bedding, etc. etc. Communicating with the Overlando team was easy and swift through WhatsApp.

Lovely Loaf
We had a fantastic 10 days driving around Georgia’s wild scenery. Outside Tbilisi the roads were very quiet and you could stop and sleep almost anywhere. Overlando were always available and quick to sort out any issues.
The van was very comfortable and well equipped. WiFi was included and seemed to work everywhere.
Amazing experience
We had a very nice time with the camper. We would have liked to have rented the Buhanka longer, but we couldn’t. The camper is rock solid, unique and has excellent camping equipment. Joris (Overlando) is a great and trustworthy rental company.
Reliable and fun
We have been travelling from Tblisi to the impressive Kaukasus mountains. Our camper drove us everywhere without any trouble. And some of the roads are off-off roads!
The Buhanka was cosy and has everything you need. It was a great adventure and a nice way to explore Georgia.
The staff from Overlando were very helpfull before and during the trip.
Best way to travel in Georgia
We rented the Lada Niva with roof tent for 2 weeks. In retrospect, I can’t imagine a better way to explore the country.
The very well maintained Lada took us reliably everywhere, was easy to drive and really grew on us during the 2 weeks. The roof tent was amazingly spacious, easy to handle and a super sleeping accommodation even in wind and rain. And for even more comfort, there are even camping chairs, a small table and a kitchen box. There is thought of everything, even oil, pepper, salt, soap and garbage bags are included. In the glove box there is a small handbook with the most important information and also the hotline we have been able to reach immediately in case of questions. Also in advance, the communication by e-mail was easy, fast and uncomplicated.
Thank you Overlando for this great package and an unforgettable time in Georgia. I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to travel to Georgia and we will definitely come back soon to discover more of the country.

Awesome Buhanka Campervan rental in Georgia!
Awesome Buhanka Campervan rental in Georgia! We rented for 2 1/2 weeks and traveled throughout the mountains of Georgia, from Svaneti to Tusheti and many places in between. The van was extremely reliable, and it had excellent 4 wheel drive – a necessity for several of the places we visited. The only time we had to turn back was when our path was blocked by 1.5 meters of snow! The Campervans was also very well equipped – full kitchen kit and gas burners, large water jug (which we filled at the many natural springs along the roads of Georgia),and most importantly a fridge for all those excellent Georgian wines. The only downside was having to wait until we found a campsite every day to open a bottle! Joris and his team were also excellent – answering our questions both before and during our trip. 10 out of 10 would recommend for anyone looking to explore Georgia.

Awesome Niva and a rooftop tent!
Rented Niva Lada for a week to travel in Borjomi/Tabatskuri area and to Kakheti. Had an amazing experience. Niva is cool and comes with everything one might need for hicking. Sleeping in a tent that is installed on the roof of the car was an awesome thing and something I had never seen before. Customer service was also great! The staff was very well organized, responsible, and punctual. Overall 10/10!! Highly recommended!
It’s a one of a kind experience
We rented the Buhanka and Niva. It’s a one of a kind experience to travel through beautiful Georgia by these peculiar vehicles. They will almost take you anywhere. We totally loved it! The vehicles are so well equiped and organised! You have everything needed right at hand. Next time we’ll go for the luxury variant and rent the Hilux 😃
