Cheap car rental in Russia.
Renting a car in Russia is an ideal option for touring one of the largest countries in the world with complete freedom. From big cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg to more remote regions, having your own vehicle makes travelling much easier.
Where to start your journey in Russia
Planning your starting point is key when opting for a rental car in Russia. Moscow and St Petersburg are the most common choices, but you can also start in cities such as Kazan or Sochi depending on your itinerary.
Each location allows you to access different regions with ease. With a car rental in Russia, you can organise long journeys without being dependent on timetables. That's why car rental in Russia is especially useful in a country with long distances.
Recommendations for driving your rental car in Russia.
Driving a rental car in Russia requires taking into account some particularities of the country. Speed limits are generally 60 km/h in cities, 90 km/h outside urban areas and up to 110 km/h on motorways.
In some areas, signage may be limited or only in Cyrillic alphabet, which can make it difficult to find your way around. In addition, traffic in large cities such as Moscow can be heavy for much of the day. Renting a car in Russia will allow you to move around freely, but it's a good idea to plan your routes well and pay attention to your driving.

Frequently asked questions about renting a car in Russia
Do I need a credit card to rent a car in Russia?
Not always. Some of our suppliers require a physical credit card in the name of the main driver to rent a car at Russia, but many others accept a debit card! However, it must always be physical and in the name of the main driver. Check the terms and conditions of each offer before renting your car at Russia, to make sure.
What is included in the car hire price in Russia?
The price shown on Pepecar includes the items detailed in the Supplier Conditions displayed during the booking process.
It normally includes:
- Vehicle hire for the selected period.
- Compulsory basic insurance (with excess, unless otherwise stated).
- Mileage according to the contracted rate.
- Mandatory taxes and fees.
Each vehicle may have different conditions, so it is important to always review the ‘Rental Conditions’ section before confirming your booking.
What is Pepecar's cancellation policy for cheap car hire in Russia?
The cancellation policy of renting a car at Russia with Pepecar is very simple! If you cancel 48 hours before the car collection time, the cancellation will be completely free of charge. If not, there will be a cancellation penalty which you will be informed of during the booking process.
Is Pepecar cheaper than renting directly from a supplier?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the supplier, the location, the dates, when you make the booking and how far in advance, and ultimately on the prices set by the suppliers compared to those set by Pepecar for each occasion. Pepecar is not restricted by suppliers when setting its own prices; we set our own rates.

Before confirming your booking, you should check:
- The total price and what it includes.
- The deposit that will be paid or blocked on your card.
- The type of cover included and the excess.

- The cancellation and modification conditions.
- The documentation you need to present when picking up the vehicle.
At Pepecar, this information is detailed in each offer, so you will have no doubts before deciding which vehicle to rent. The aim is to ensure that renting a car is an informed decision and that, once you have made it, all you have to do is enjoy your rental car without any worries.
What documentation will I need to rent a car in Russia?
In order to rent a car in Russia with Pepecar you only need 3 things: a credit card, a valid driving licence and a valid ID in the country, all of them in the name of the main driver. And that's it, you just need to enjoy your rental car!
