Does Alamo require an IDP in Georgia?
Alamo in Georgia: the policy in plain terms

Georgia drives on the right under the 1968 Vienna Convention and uses its own script, so an IDP is advised to translate your licence.
In Georgia specifically, georgia legally requires foreign drivers to carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence, so Alamo will ask for it at the counter. Tbilisi desks ask for an IDP with non-Latin-script licences.
Alamo runs a global network; at its Georgia desks, foreign renters are asked for the 1968 Vienna-format International Driving Permit alongside the original licence. Georgia drives on the right, uses the GEL, and sets a minimum driving age of 18, so an IDP is the document that removes any doubt at the counter.
