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.

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.

According to the recently adopted law, the maximum allowed blood alcohol content for drivers is 0.0 ppm. In other words, motorists are not allowed to drink alcohol at all. The violation of this rule will certainly lead to a severe punishment – in addition to a large fine your driving license will be suspended for 1.5 - 2 years.

While driving, you need to pay attention to road signs that indicate the maximum permitted speed. As a rule, the maximum permitted speed in the city is 60 km/h, and in some residential areas the speed limit is just 20 km/h.

On country roads, the permitted speed ranges from 90 to 110 km/h, depending on the specific type of the road. As it has been noted above, not all roads will delight motorists with good quality, so driving on them at high speed is quite dangerous.
