Rent a car

To rent a car is a perfect option if you do not have access to your own vehicle and need one for business or leisure trip.

In Ekaterinburg rental car centers can be found at the airport “Koltsovo” which make them easily accessible and extremely convenient. There are a couple of car rental companies in Ekaterinburg too.

There are certain points concerning car rents, which should be made clear.

Hiring a car, a valid driving license and identification is required. You may be also asked to show a major credit card in your name.

The majority rental car centers have age restrictions. In Russia legal driving age is 18.  A car rental company can deny rental service whenever a driving license of a renter fails to meet established criteria.

Car rentals require a deposit to rent a car, with the amount, deposit type and method of payment varying from one location to another. Despite the fact that a driver may not be required to take the insurance, he is responsible for a car in case of damage.

While renting a car, check with your insurance company whether you have full protection coverage.

It is possible to rent a car on a daily 24 hour basis, starting at the pick-up time. However, if you make up your mind to keep a vehicle for a few more days, you are free to do it.
