Minis are the most popular sort of rental car in Kazakhstan. Hop into one of these economical little runabouts and you can zip around all the sights of Almaty and Karagandy with ease. They're more comfortable than you might expect --- you can easily throw a weekend bag in the trunk if you're thinking of heading out of town.It's always a good idea to escape the city, and if you do, you'll be handsomely rewarded. With desert landscapes, steppes, and mountains to discover, Kazakhstan offers loads of day trip opportunities. A larger vehicle like a four-wheel drive or an SUV will give you and the crew more comfort and room for those long, leisurely drives.
