Therefore, after passing the border, find the nearest point (office) of any insurance company and buy a Georgian policy. The policy can be bought in advance online. Car insurance in Georgia is mandatory.
Under Georgian law, Abkhazia and South Ossetia are considered occupied territories. Accordingly, by visiting these territories from the Russian side, you are breaking the law. Therefore, if at the border they ask you if you have been to Abkhazia or South Ossetia, feel free to answer “no”.
Everything is good with mobile communications in Georgia. The phone catches everywhere, even in the most remote areas. It is better to purchase a local or tourist SIM card. It will be cheaper than talking in roaming.
