Car Hire in Russia

Before booking a car hire in Russia, carefully examine the terms from suppliers like Global_Rent_A_Car, AVIS, and Europcar. Focus on details such as payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel rules, and driving licence specifications to avoid unexpected issues.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Make sure you know which type of fuel your rental car uses to avoid costly mistakes at the pump.

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.

Before driving away from Russia , thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.
