FAQ

1. What is the minimum age to rent a car in Ekaterinburg?

The minimum age to rent a car in Ekaterinburg is typically 21 years. Drivers aged 21–24 may face a young driver surcharge of €10–30 per day. Some premium and luxury vehicles require the driver to be at least 25. Always check the specific rental company's age policy before booking.

2. Is it cheaper to rent a car at the airport or in the city centre of Ekaterinburg?

Airport rental offices in Ekaterinburg often charge a premium of 10–20% due to airport surcharges. City-centre locations may offer better base rates but factor in the cost of getting there. Compare both options on Cars Scanner — sometimes free shuttle services from the airport make city pickups worthwhile.

3. Do I need to return the car with a full tank of fuel?

This depends on the fuel policy you selected:

  • Full-to-full — the most common and economical option. You receive the car with a full tank and must return it full.
  • Full-to-empty — you pay for a full tank upfront and can return it empty, but this is usually more expensive.

Always check your rental agreement. Returning a “full-to-full“ car without refuelling results in a costly per-litre surcharge.

4. When will the security deposit be returned to my card?

The security deposit is typically released within 7–14 business days after you return the car, provided there is no damage. Some banks may take up to 30 days to process the refund. The deposit is a temporary hold on your credit card — the actual amount blocked depends on the vehicle class and insurance coverage chosen.

5. What should I do if I get a traffic fine?

If you receive a traffic fine while driving in Russia, the rental company will typically forward it to you along with an administration fee (€20–50). Pay the fine promptly to avoid escalation. If you disagree, you can appeal through the issuing authority. Always photograph any unclear signage as evidence. Keep your rental agreement handy for reference.

6. Is there a mileage limit on rental cars?

Many rentals in Ekaterinburg come with unlimited mileage, especially for weekly bookings. However, some economy deals may include a daily cap (e.g. 200–300 km/day) with extra charges per kilometre beyond the limit. Always check the mileage policy in your booking confirmation — unlimited mileage offers the best value for longer trips.

7. Can I return the rental car in a different city or country?

Yes, one-way rentals are available with most major companies in Russia. Returning within the same country usually costs €30–100 extra. Cross-border returns may be restricted or carry significant additional fees — check the rental terms carefully. Always confirm the one-way policy when booking.

8. Where can I park in Ekaterinburg and how much does it cost?

Parking options in Ekaterinburg include:

  • Street parking — metered zones, typically €1–3/hour
  • Public car parks — €5–20/day depending on location
  • Hotel parking — often available for guests at €10–25/night

Always check signage carefully. Blue zones require a parking disc, and illegally parked cars may be towed. Many city centres have restricted access zones.
