TL;DR

According to travelers’ experience, visitors without Georgian residency may not be able to take a Georgian-plated car across the Turkish border. You will also need mandatory insurance and, for a car you do not own, a notarized power of attorney with a translation.

What the community said

For Turkey, a car driven by someone other than its owner needs a notarized power of attorney with a certified Turkish or English translation. Travelers note that arranging it in Georgia can be expensive.
