This is due to the fact that renting cars, first of all, relevant for tourists, well, tourism has become actively developing in Russia relatively recently. But today, in fact, in all major cities, there are representative offices of the international rental offices, as well as small local companies.

The vehicle of the economy class will permanently cost 1500 rubles per day, but it is advisable to count in the amount of 2500 - 3500 rubles - here, as a rule, gasoline and basic insurance are already included. In some cases, the landlord may limit the daily kilometer to 150-200 kilometers (for each extra kilometer will have to be paid separately) and the geography of travel (for example, be prohibited outside the region). Often, the key to the car "frozen" on the bank card, but some organizations can only take a deposit of cash.

What documents are required to take a car in the hire

To rent a vehicle for rent, Russia's citizens will need only a passport, a credit card and a driver's license. As a rule, the minimum age of the driver is 23 years old, however, in some cases, the economy-class machines are issued to 21-year-old motorists. The minimum driving experience is 2-3 years depending on the vehicle class and the office. Sometimes one year of the driver's experience is sufficient for the economy class.

There are companies that establish not only the minimum, and the maximum age, as a rule, is 75 years. If it is planned that another driver can sit behind the wheel of the rolling car, it will take his certificate and passport, as well as 150 - 300 rubles of surcharge.

Responsibility for damage to the car taken to hire

All cars rental organizations are insured. The responsibility of the client affects a group of leased vehicle. When taking a car for rent, the client, as a rule, has the ability to reduce its responsibility if he pays for increased insurance. Accident Insurance is often not included in the car rental rate, but the client can always purchase this insurance additionally.

Insurance, as a rule, does not apply to the following situations: if the client used a rolling machine to tow a different vehicle, took part in the race, was driving in the form of a narcotic or alcoholic intoxication, the leased machine ruled another driver (third party) not specified in Agreement, the driver left the place of the accident or after the accident he does not have a certificate from the traffic police.

In the above cases, as well as in the case of a rough violation of traffic rules, the amount of damage caused will be withdrawn from the amount of deposit on the car. Also from the amount of collateral is made compensation for those damage that does not cover the insurance policy. So, for example, if the driver smoked in the cabin, which is prohibited by the rules of rolled, then the cost of the dry-cleaner is calculated from the amount of collateral.

Standard insurance does not cover: damage to transmission elements, damage inside the car, damage to headlights, tires, glasses, discs. In addition, if the driver fell into an accident on a rented car, a rental company can calculate from the amount of the deposit amount of its damage for a simple vehicle. However, as already mentioned, it depends on the rental company - each organization provides for its own rules when renting cars, which must be taken into account, in order to avoid problems and extra costs.
