Please note, that in order to rent in Russia a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Irkutsk.
Before leaving the parking garage in Irkutsk, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Popular questions on rental process
Local petrol stations sell all standard types of fuel. Gas refueling stations have also become more widespread in the country. The majority of petrol stations are self-service ones - the driver must select the correct type of fuel, fill the tank and then go to the cashier to pay.
Large petrol stations often have staff members who fill the tank. In this case, the driver only needs to drive up to the fuel filling column and tell the type of fuel. A small tip for the filling service will be a sign of good taste. In this case, a tip of 10 rubles will be enough.
You will find it simple to find a petrol station both in the city and in the country. The cost of fuel can vary at different petrol stations, but usually the price difference is very little. Some large petrol stations are combined with grocery stores and small cafes.
