Common questions on rental process
Travelers, who plan to go to remote areas of the country and visit beautiful local nature reserves, are recommended to choose a powerful car for that travel. The roads that are laid in beautiful areas rarely have the asphalt surface. As a rule, these are very narrow and winding dirt roads.
Wooden bridges are pretty common for the countryside. In most cases only one car can move on such bridges. Drivers should move on such bridges very carefully and slowly. In addition to the driving license got in the home country, you will also need to receive the international driver's permit. The presence of this document will help to resolve all problems with local police much quicker.
Roads, laid close to the capital or in its territory, usually have the heaviest traffic. Foreign guests will certainly notice a huge number of old cars and SUVs on the roads of the country – in true, it is possible to reach some settlements by an off-road vehicle only.
