In 2026, Georgia remains one of the most friendly yet specific countries for heavy transport along the Middle Corridor route. The toll system here is simple but ruthless in terms of weight regulation enforcement.
In Georgia, you will not find a classic vignette system or motorway tolls per kilometer (except for a few new sections currently in the testing phase). The main costs are the Transit Fee and mandatory insurance.
Transit Fee (Road Tax)
Every heavy goods vehicle with a GVW over 3.5 tons, registered outside of Georgia and passing through in transit, must pay a one-time fee.
- 2026 Rate: 350 GEL (Georgian Lari).
- Exchange Rate (Estimated): approx. 125 EUR, 540 PLN.
- Where to Pay: At any bank within Georgia, at payment terminals (e.g., PayBox, TBC, Liberty Bank), or directly at customs points at the border (most often via bank card).
- Validity: The fee is a one-time payment for one entry and exit cycle from the country.
Mandatory Insurance (TPL / MTPL)
As of 2026, Georgia has tightened motor insurance inspections for foreign vehicles. The Green Card is not honored here—you must purchase a local MTPL policy.
| Insurance Period | Rate for Trucks (Over 3.5t) |
|---|---|
| 15 days | 60 GEL |
| 30 days | 100 GEL |
| 90 days | 250 GEL |
Note: Failure to have a policy results in a 100 GEL fine during road inspections or upon exiting the country. The policy can be purchased online at tpl.ge before entry.
WIM System and Overloading Fines
Georgia has invested in modern Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) systems on main routes (particularly on the E60 motorway). Sensors embedded in the asphalt weigh vehicles while they are in motion.
- Weight Limit: Standard 40 tons (with exceptions for certain routes).
- Fines: For exceeding the gross vehicle weight or axle loads, fines start at 500 GEL and increase exponentially depending on the degree of overloading.
New for 2026: Mandatory Driver Health Insurance
According to new regulations effective from January 1, 2026, every person entering Georgia (including professional drivers) must have health and accident insurance for an amount of at least 30,000 GEL.
- Cost: Usually included in the transport policy, but if missing, the cost is approximately 1-2 EUR per day of stay.
