When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Ukraine vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Ukraine are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Kiev, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Local drivers have long become accustomed to such contradictions on local roads. They feel very confident on the road and interpret all the drawbacks in their favor.
It should be noted that local motorists violate some rules not because of careless attitude to their own safety. On the contrary, they are driven by the instinct of self-preservation, because if you stop at yellow signal of the traffic light, the risk of getting into an accident is very high. For many drivers, it is much easier to pay the fine than to risk their lives and safety of the vehicle.
Police officers, in their turn, carefully monitor all actions of drivers. The police are ready to impose fines even for minor traffic violations, most of which are not even known by many drivers. It is very simple to get a fine in Ukraine, so it is recommended to comply with all the rules carefully (do not forget about your own safety).
