EINE TOUR WÄHLEN

Traveling around Ukraine by car is not only convenient, but also profitable. Your own car (even if it is rented) is freedom of movement, the ability to change the route at any time, a way to avoid crowds and discover unique places that cannot be reached by public transport. Regardless of whether you are a tourist, businessman, volunteer or just an explorer, a car is an ideal option for traveling around Ukraine.

In this article, you will learn how to quickly and safely book a car for a trip around Ukraine, and what to pay attention to in order to avoid unnecessary hassle.

What you need to know before renting a car in Ukraine?

Before renting a car in Ukraine, you should familiarize yourself with the basic conditions that apply to most services.

- Driver requirements for renting a car in Ukraine

1. Minimum age - from 21 to 23 years (depending on the company).

2. Driving experience - at least 2-3 years;

Some premium car brands may have higher requirements – age from 25 years and experience from 5 years.

Important! The driver must be sober and in an adequate state, because companies can refuse to rent without explanation if the driver’s behavior raises doubts.

- Required documents for renting a car in Ukraine

1. Passport or document with which you entered Ukraine.

2. Valid driver’s license (for foreigners – international);

Some companies require a deposit – it is returned after the rental is completed if the car is not damaged. The amount of the deposit depends on the class of the car – for example, for economy class it can be 3000–5000 UAH, and for SUVs or business class – from 10,000 UAH and above.

- How to choose a car depending on the purpose of the trip?

Depending on where you plan to travel, you should choose different cars.

For the city, choose economical, compact cars - for example, Smart or hatchbacks. They are convenient in conditions of dense traffic and lack of parking spaces.

For highways and trips between cities - comfortable sedans or station wagons.

For trips to the mountains or rural areas, crossovers or SUVs with high ground clearance and all-wheel drive are best suited.

Pay attention to mileage restrictions: some companies have a limit, for example, 200 km per day. If you exceed this distance, you will have to pay an additional amount. If you are planning a long trip, choose a tariff with unlimited mileage - it is more profitable and convenient.
