What car rental insurance should I get in Batumi and what should I watch out for?

TL;DR
Budget rental companies in Batumi often don't display the actual deductible amount in the insurance form (it may show $0, which is misleading) — always ask separately. Full coverage with zero deductible is mainly offered by big brands like Hertz, but it can cost nearly as much as the rental itself.
What the community said
Some travelers skip life/health insurance entirely when renting a car and only get vehicle insurance, arranged right at the border on entry.

Zero-deductible full coverage is mainly offered by major international brands like Hertz, but it can cost almost as much as the car rental itself.

Many local Batumi rental companies don't clearly show the deductible in their booking form, sometimes displaying $0 by default — this can be misleading, so always confirm the real amount with the manager directly.
