Russia Car Rental Fleet Options

Spanning two continents, Russia is one of the world’s largest countries and hosts a wealth of attractions ranging from historic and cultural heritage, to rare natural occurrences, magnificent lakes and windswept steppes. Travelling around this immense country must be well-planned in advance. It’s important to take into account the harsh weather conditions for most of the year, and the fact that many places are quite remote with difficult access. One of the great travel experiences is taking a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to the Russian Far East, alighting en route to explore some of the stunning places along the way with a car rental with Auto Europe.

Why Rent a Mini Car in Russia Russian cities are famous for their wide boulevards, but it doesn’t mean that traffic jams never occur or that parking spaces are always readily available. For driving in Moscow or St. Petersburg, we recommend a Mini car, especially if your holiday budget is quite limited. Such a vehicle will fit up to four people without luggage, so, Mini cars are recommended for solo travellers or couples with two carry-on bags.

Why Rent an Economy Car in Russia Another convenient car class for travellers on a budget travelling light is the Economy car rental class. With enough room for up to four people, these cars are a bit bigger and more comfortable than Minis, even though their prices are only a little higher than those of Mini vehicles. However, if you are a group of more than two people, we strongly suggest you consider a five-door vehicle from a higher class.
