The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Sochi 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 frightening quality of local roads is known far beyond the borders of the country. Even on main roads of the country you will often see cracks and holes. The quality of pavement does not depend on the settlement size. Roads in big cities are often much worse than roads in small towns.
When it comes to describing informative support of Russian roads, there is no universal explanation here. If you plan to go to an unfamiliar city, you certainly need to purchase the detailed map of its roads or, that would be even better, install a car navigator. Motorists, who plan to drive on roads of the capital region, should pay close attention to that piece of advice.
In addition to standard road signs, you will see an incredible number of billboard advertisements on Russian roads. Travelers, who are used to seeing only road signs and information boards on the road, may find these billboard advertisements very irritating, especially at night, when those huge banners are highlighted with bright and colorful lights.
