TL;DR
Car insurance for entering Georgia can be purchased right at the Georgian border crossing. Expect to pay around 2000 RUB for an SUV (3.5L) for 2 weeks. Prices may be cheaper further from the border.
The easiest option is to buy insurance right after the Georgian customs checkpoint — there are insurance booths on-site. An SUV (3.5L, 249 hp) for 2 weeks cost around 2000 RUB. It's said prices drop further from the border, though this is unconfirmed.
Online insurance purchase before crossing is possible in theory, but payment requires a non-Russian (international) bank card. If you only have a Russian card, buying at the border is the practical solution.
Standard travel insurance is not sufficient for driving into Georgia — you need a separate vehicle insurance policy (equivalent to a Green Card or local third-party liability insurance).
