TL;DR
tpl.ge is mentioned as an option for arranging insurance before entry, but a traveler reported payment limitations with a Kazakh card, seeing only Bank of Georgia and Liberty options. The discussion does not confirm whether T-Bank Premium cover is accepted or whether uninsured-driving fines have an early-payment discount.
A traveler reports entering through Batumi on 9 September with T-Bank insurance included in the Premium plan: border staff asked to see the policy and accepted it without further questions.
Before crossing the border, confirm separately whether motor cover included with T-Bank Premium is accepted in place of a local policy; the discussion provides no verified confirmation.

For travelers already in Georgia, the discussion specifically raises buying the policy using a Georgian debit card, so this is a relevant payment route to check with an insurer.
Driving without insurance in Georgia may result in a fine. Check the amount and any prompt-payment discount directly with an official authority or insurer, as no exact figure was provided in the discussion.
