Average Car Rental Prices in Moscow

In Moscow, the capital of Russia, car rental prices can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of car, rental duration, and the season. On average, travelers can expect to pay around 2,000 to 5,000 RUB (approximately $25 to $65 USD) per day for a standard economy car. For those seeking a bit more comfort or space, a mid-range vehicle might cost between 5,000 and 8,000 RUB ($65 to $105 USD) daily.

It's worth noting that luxury cars and SUVs command higher rates, frequently exceeding 10,000 RUB (about $130 USD) per day. Additionally, prices typically increase during peak tourist seasons or around major holidays. Similar pricing patterns can be observed in other Russian cities like Kazan. To find the best deal, it's advisable to book in advance, especially if you're planning to visit during the bustling summer months or winter festivities. It is also important to consider the extra costs of insurance, which can significantly raise the rental price, as well as possible charges for GPS navigation systems, child seats, or additional drivers.

Renting a car in Moscow offers travelers the freedom to explore the city and its surroundings at their own pace, but it's crucial to be aware of local traffic regulations and the sometimes challenging driving conditions in the busy metropolis.

FAQ

1. Do I need an international driving permit to rent a car in Moscow?

If your driving licence is issued in the EU/EEA, it is accepted throughout Russia without an international permit. For licences in non-Latin scripts (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required alongside your original licence. It's always a good idea to carry an IDP as a backup.

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

Airport rental offices in Moscow 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. 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.

4. What is an excess (deductible) and how does it work?

The excess (or deductible) is the maximum amount you'd pay out of pocket if the car is damaged or stolen. In Russia, this typically ranges from €500 to €2,000 depending on the vehicle class. You can reduce or eliminate the excess by purchasing additional coverage such as Super CDW or booking full-coverage insurance through Cars Scanner.

5. What are the key driving rules in Moscow?

Key rules when driving in Russia:

  • Drive on the right side of the road
  • Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers
  • Mobile phones may only be used hands-free
  • Headlights must be on at all times in some areas
  • Blood alcohol limit is typically 0.05% (stricter for new drivers)

Familiarise yourself with local signage and speed limits before setting off.

6. Is there a mileage limit on rental cars?

Many rentals in Moscow 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. 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.
