Can I rent a car in Russia as a foreign visitor?
Yes — you may rent a car if the company accepts your driving documents; verify requirements for an international permit, translation, deposit, and accepted payment methods before booking.
You can rent a car as a foreign visitor if the rental company accepts your driving documents and meets their passport, deposit, and payment requirements. Ask whether an international driving permit or an official translation is required, and confirm which card types are accepted for the security deposit. Medical travel insurance is not a substitute for auto insurance; check what coverage the rental provides and consider supplemental collision or liability protection.
