Features of car rental in Crimea

The choice of travel format depends on your desires. Someone likes a quiet vacation on the beaches of Yalta, Alushta or Evpatoria, and someone goes for new impressions and emotions. In order to admire the beauty of the southern coast of Crimea, see the fountain of Bakhchisarai praised by Pushkin, or watch the naval parade in Sevastopol, you can use a car rental service. Today we will understand the peculiarities of transport rental in Crimea.

The advantages of moving around the peninsula with a rented vehicle are obvious. But there are also obvious disadvantages. Let's consider them in the table.

Today the car rental market in Crimea offers a huge selection of vehicles: from bicycles and scooters to minivans and luxury cars. From all the offers, you can choose transport for every taste and budget. So, let's look at the main ones.

The most affordable, cheapest, easiest and most unpretentious type of transport for any resort town. All categories of vacationers will be able to use it: from children to pensioners. For most of us, a bicycle is the most convenient way to get to the beach from distant hotels or apartments. And what are the evening bike rides along the sea ... But in order not to overshadow the rest with injuries, you need to choose the right bike.

When choosing a two-wheeled friend, you should pay attention to the frame, saddle and wheels. It is these parts of the bike that determine how it will behave on different road surfaces, what kind of roll it will have, and its stiffness.

It occupies a special niche in the Crimean car services market. On modern motorcycles, you can make exciting trips both through settlements with a developed infrastructure, and along impassable paths in the mountains. Fans of extreme sports, traveling by scooter or motorcycle, are guaranteed unforgettable emotions and breathtaking views of the Crimea. What to choose is up to you.

An excellent solution for moving around Crimea. The technical characteristics of this vehicle allow you to move with maximum comfort, because there is a solid space for storing luggage and space for a passenger. The scooter does not develop high speed and is easy to operate, therefore it is suitable for women and for traveling with children. Due to their economical fuel consumption, scooters are in great demand among tourists.

In the car rental market of Crimea, models of all scooter manufacturers are widely represented: from economical Chinese to popular Japanese. But do not forget that the Chinese quality can periodically remind of the existence of technical problems. "Japanese", however, is not even new, will allow you to relax and enjoy your vacation to the fullest.

Traveling by motorcycle across the Crimea is interesting and convenient. This way of movement is preferred by fans of extreme recreation or active pastime, but it is not suitable for children and the elderly.

When choosing a motorcycle, first decide: are you looking for a maneuverable motorcycle for the city or an SUV for traveling in the mountains? In the car rental salons of the Crimea, there are all types of motorcycles: sports, classic, off-road, cruisers.

Novice bikers should not choose a model that is too powerful and heavy. The motorcycle must be held on the corner, and if it falls, it must be lifted. But not every one of us is able to easily lift 200-300 kilograms of "iron".

Experienced bikers tend to choose powerful models. The more horsepower a motorcycle has, the more speed it can develop in a straight line or go up a steep hill.

A suitable mode of transport for a trip to the mountains of Crimea.More and more extreme lovers choose excursions on an ATV. You can use it to wade into the woods, find new parking lots, which you cannot do, for example, by car.

In addition to the ATVs we are accustomed to, Crimean car rental salons also offer children's models. They are smaller than the others and are intended exclusively for children. These ATVs have weak power and an automatic transmission, so any child can handle the controls.

Traditional and favorite way for tourists to travel around Crimea. It is convenient to travel by car with both children and elderly relatives. By car, unlike a scooter, motorcycle or ATV, you can explore the beauty of the peninsula at any time of the year. For family trips, a passenger car or minivan is suitable, for example, the domestic Lada Largus with 7 seats; fans of speed and drive - sports, romantics - definitely a convertible.

The largest selection of cars for rent in large cities - Simferopol, Sevastopol, Evpatoria, Yalta. If the desired car is not available, delivery from a nearby settlement is possible for a reasonable fee. In Simferopol, you can order a car delivery to the airport or railway station. The rental price varies depending on the class of the car, the type of gearbox and the period of use.

Car companies provide child seats, boosters, GPS navigators. In this case, the lessee must keep the car clean, refuel the vehicle with the type of fuel specified in the lease agreement, and comply with the terms of the agreement.

In the Republic of Crimea, there are both large electronic car-sharing services and individual rental companies. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of both.

All residents of our country are already accustomed to the temporary use of a car without the traditional execution of a lease agreement and a lengthy procedure for concluding a deal. To rent a car in a car sharing company, you just need to register in the chosen system. After that, you can use a free car at any time of the day without time limits. In addition to speed and convenience, the advantages of using such a car include the absence of the need to pay for parking in cities.

This service is very convenient for those travelers who need a car for a short time, literally for two to three hours. For example, you can come for a walk to the city center with your whole family and not pay for parking. It is enough to close the car and leave. A walk in the resort town can stretch for several kilometers, however, it is not necessary to return to the place where the car was left to return home. You can just take another car.

Despite the obvious advantages of such a service, a number of disadvantages are also obvious. First of all, there is a lack of car-sharing service in all settlements of Crimea. So far, this service is available only to residents and guests of large cities - Simferopol and Sevastopol.

Vacationers vacationing on the coast in resort villages will not be able to take a free car through a mobile application. In addition, to manage the rental process using the car sharing system, you need a smartphone, which must be constantly charged and have access to the Internet. Unfortunately, the Internet does not work smoothly in all corners of Crimea. Another disadvantage of this method of renting a vehicle is that car sharing provides only cashless payments.

All companies operating in the field of providing transport services in Crimea have approximately the same requirements for renters of motor vehicles or cars: a Russian passport, a Russian-style driver's license and the corresponding category are required.

The driver's age for renting a car and motorcycle is from 22 years old, for renting a scooter - from 14 years old. Driving experience - at least two years.

In the Republic of Crimea, 3 types of insurance are offered: OSAGO, CASCO, insurance against theft. In case of guilt in an accident on a car insured only under OSAGO, the tenant will have to cover all repair costs. The CASCO policy fully protects against any expenses.

As in other regions of the country, in Crimea there are small and large organizations that provide transport for rent. The main advantage of small ones is the low cost of the service. At the same time, they have little choice, there is no luxury car. You can find such offers on free advertising sites or in specialized groups on social networks - small businesses rarely have their own website.

If the class of the vehicle is fundamentally important to you, then you should contact a larger company. The price of the service will already be solid, because it consists of the cost of advertising, maintaining your website and maintaining the car in good condition. But in this case, the quality of service will pleasantly surprise you.

Going on vacation to Crimea, you should remember that on holidays, the cost of rental services increases. Closer to the holiday season, there are fewer and fewer free cars, so it is worth taking care of booking in advance.
