The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Novosibirsk are: Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota Fortuner, Toyota Landcruiser, Toyota 4Runner, Suzuki Jimny, Daihatsu Terios and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Russia ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Russia are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
The nature of local drivers is also unpredictable and contradictory, just like the quality of roads. You will certainly see attentive and polite motorists, who tend to be extremely cautious on the road. However, the majority of drivers prefer fairly free driving style, so rapid or unexpected maneuvers are absolutely normal for them.
In recent years, a huge number of cameras and radar has appeared on the road. They are used to monitor the implementation of traffic regulations. In residential areas of cities, on many country roads and near railway crossings you will often see so called "speed bumps". As a rule, drivers are warned about them by road signs.
A huge number of free parking spaces is another important feature of Russian roads. They can be found literally everywhere - close to shopping and entertainment centers, tourist attractions, and business centers. Parking lots are also equipped along some streets.
