Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, and that's true in the case of your ride. In Russia, compact cars are the most booked type of rental car for a good reason. More miles from every gallon, better maneuverability, and ease of parking are just the tip of the iceberg! If you have plans to cruise around Moscow or St. Petersburg, consider booking something cute and compact.Don't limit your adventuring to the cities. Russia offers some breathtaking scenery, such as bays, harbors, and shingle seashores. A car like a convertible will help you get around them in style. These rentals are perfect for visitors who'd like to soak up the views with the top down. Who doesn't adore the feeling of the wind through their hair?
Should I get a luxury rental car in Russia?
You'll be glad to know that there's a huge variety of luxurious rental vehicles on offer in Russia. What you go with will depend on your funds and what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not pick up a high-end SUV, or perhaps a flashy mid-sized sedan? Otherwise, if you just need something to get from A to B at the cheapest price possible, stick with an economy vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Russia?
In most cases, your rental company will bill the fined amount to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may provide your contact details to the relevant local law enforcement agency so they can issue a fine to you directly.
