There is an interest for Kazbegi is due to several reasons

For sightseeing and driving to all places any car will be good, even economy class. There are a couple of places where you would have helped a high ground clearance, but if you are ready to walk 300-700 meters in interesting places, then it is possible to ignore the rules of high ground clearance. In winter it is better to use all-wheel drive cars. It is worth to be vigilant on the passes in the summer if it rains. Please note, if you are traveling in the off-season and all our cars already have summer tires, as it is great for the existing weather in the city and along the road, in the mountains there can be snow, so order additional chains on the wheels, they can come in handy.
