Cheap AVIS Car Hire in Sochi

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Sochi, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Sochi by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like AVIS typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.
