Features of car rental in Crimea

The choice of travel format depends on your desires. Someone likes a relaxing holiday on the beaches of Yalta, Alushta or Yevpatoriya, and someone goes for new experiences and emotions. In order to admire the beauties of the southern coast of Crimea, to see the Bakhchisarai fountain sung by Pushkin or to watch the naval parade in Sevastopol, you can use the car rental services. Today we will understand the features of car rental in the Crimea.

The benefits of moving around the peninsula on a rented vehicle are obvious. But there are obvious flaws. Consider them in the table.

Today, the Crimean car rental market offers a huge selection of vehicles: from bicycles and scooters to minivans and luxury cars. Of all the offers, you can choose a transport for every taste and budget. So, consider the main ones.

The most affordable, cheap, easy and unpretentious mode of transport to use for any resort city. All categories of vacationers will be able to use it: from children to senior citizens. For most of us, a bicycle is the most convenient way to get to the beach from remote hotels or apartments. And what are evening bike rides along the sea ... But in order not to overshadow the rest with injuries, you need to choose the right bike.

When choosing a two-wheeled friend, you should pay attention to the frame, saddle and wheels. It is on these parts of the bike how it will behave on different road surfaces, what kind of ride it will have, and stiffness.

It occupies a special niche in the auto market of Crimea. With modern motorcycles, you can make exciting trips both to settlements with developed infrastructure, and along impassable mountain trails. Fans of extreme sports traveling on a scooter or motorcycle are guaranteed unforgettable emotions and breathtaking views of the Crimea. What to choose is up to you.

An excellent solution for moving around the Crimea. The technical characteristics of this vehicle allow you to move with maximum comfort, because there is a solid space for storing luggage and a place for a passenger. The scooter does not develop great speed and is easy to drive, so it is suitable for women and for traveling with children. Due to the economical fuel consumption, scooters are in great demand among tourists.

In the car rental market of Crimea, models of all scooter manufacturers are widely represented: from economical Chinese to popular Japanese. But do not forget that Chinese quality can periodically remind you of the existence of technical problems. “Japanese”, not even new, will allow you to relax and enjoy your vacation to the fullest.

Traveling on a motorcycle in the Crimea is interesting and convenient. This way of moving is preferred by lovers of extreme relaxation or active pastime, but it is not suitable for children and the elderly.

When choosing a motorcycle, first decide: are you looking for a maneuverable motorcycle for the city or an SUV for trips in the mountains? There are all types of motorcycles in the car rental shops of Crimea: sports, classic, off-road, cruisers.

Novice bikers should not choose too powerful and heavy model. The motorcycle must be kept in a bend, and if it falls, it will have to be lifted. But far from each of us is capable of easily raising 200-300 kilograms of “iron”.

Bikers with driving experience tend to choose powerful models. The more horsepower in a motorcycle, the greater speed it can develop in a straight line or go to a steep hill.

Suitable type of transport for a trip to the mountains of Crimea.More and more extreme lovers choose ATV excursions. On it you can get into the woods, find new parking for recreation, which you can’t do, for example, by car.

In addition to the usual ATVs for us, car rental salons are also offered by children's models. They are smaller than the rest and are intended exclusively for children. Such ATVs have low power and an automatic transmission, so any child will cope with the management.

A traditional and favorite way of tourists traveling around the Crimea. It is convenient to travel by car with both children and elderly relatives. By car, unlike a scooter, motorcycle or ATV, you can study the beauty of the peninsula at any time of the year. For family trips, a car or minivan is suitable, for example, the domestic Lada Largus for 7 seats; fans of speed and drive - sports, romance - definitely a convertible.

The largest selection of rental cars in major cities - Simferopol, Sevastopol, Yevpatoriya, Yalta. If the desired car is not available, then for a moderate fee, delivery from a nearby village is possible. In Simferopol, you can order a car at the airport or train station. The rental price varies depending on the class of the car, type of gearbox and period of use.

Car companies provide chairs for transporting children, boosters, GPS-navigators. In this case, the lessee must keep the car clean, refuel the vehicle with the type of fuel specified in the lease agreement, and observe the terms of the agreement.

In the Republic of Crimea there are both large electronic car-sharing services and individual rental companies. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of both.

All residents of our country are already accustomed to the temporary use of the car without the traditional execution of a lease agreement and a lengthy transaction procedure. To rent a car in a car-sharing company, it is enough to register in the selected system. After that, you can use a free car at any time of the day without time limits. In addition to speed and convenience, the advantages of using such a car include the lack of the need to pay for parking in cities.

Such a service is very convenient for those travelers who need a car for a short time, literally for two to three hours. For example, you can come for a walk to the city center with the whole family and not pay for parking. It is enough to close the car and leave. Walking in a resort town can stretch for several kilometers, but in order to return home, it is not necessary to return to the place where the car was parked. You can just take another car.

Despite the obvious advantages of this service, a number of disadvantages are obvious. First of all, the lack of a car-sharing service in all settlements of Crimea. So far, this service is available only to residents and guests of large cities - Simferopol and Sevastopol.

Vacationers vacationing on the coast in resort villages cannot take a free car through a mobile application. In addition, to control the rental process through a car-sharing system, you need a smartphone that must be constantly charged and have access to the Internet. Unfortunately, the Internet does not work smoothly in all corners of the Crimea. Another disadvantage of this method of renting a car is that car sharing provides only cashless payments.

All companies operating in the provision of transport services in Crimea have approximately the same requirements for tenants of motor vehicles or cars: they require a Russian passport, a driver’s license of the Russian model and the corresponding category.

The age of the driver for renting a car and motorcycle is from 22 years old, for renting a scooter - from 14 years. Driving experience - from two years.

In the Republic of Crimea, 3 insurance options are offered: CTP, CASCO, insurance against theft. In the event of a guilty accident in a car insured only under compulsory motor third-party liability insurance, the lessee will have to cover all repair costs. CASCO policy fully protects against any costs.

As in other regions of the country, in the Crimea there are small and large organizations that provide rental cars. The main advantage of small ones is the low cost of the service. At the same time, they have little choice, no luxury cars. You can find such offers on free advertising sites or in specialized groups on social networks - small businesses rarely have their own website.

If the vehicle class is fundamentally important to you, then you should contact a larger company. The price of the service will already be solid, because it consists of the cost of advertising, maintaining your site and maintaining the car in good condition. But in this case, the quality of service will pleasantly surprise you.

Going on vacation to the Crimea, it should be remembered that during holidays, the cost of rental services increases. Closer to the vacation season there are fewer and fewer available cars, so you should take care of your reservation in advance.
