KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Moscow
- Having a car hire in Moscow will allow you to explore the city on your own terms. Even if you don't wish to drive inside the city centre, not having to rely on public transport will be immensely helpful if you plan on travelling to any smaller towns or rural areas while in Russia. The Moscow metro is one of the busiest in the world, so your own car will afford you a bit more peace and privacy on your trip.
- You will be able to pick up your Moscow car hire from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO) at the international arrival hall in Terminal D. This terminal hosts a variety of hire companies, and we recommend you book ahead through KAYAK to ensure you can start your trip as quickly as possible.
- You will need your normal driver's licence and an international driver's licence to get a car hire in Moscow. You can apply for an international driver's licence well in advance of your trip. In Russia, cars drive on the left side of the road. Most lanes in Moscow are one way, which can make overtaking handy, and traffic lights often countdown the seconds until the lights change. Familiarising yourself with Russian road signs in advance will be helpful. On freeways, you may be surprised to see bikes and pedestrians as well as traffic lights and pedestrian crossings.
- Avoid driving from 08:00 to 10:00 and 17:00 to 19:00 as Moscow is a densely populated city and these rush hours will be very busy. The biggest difficulty on Moscow's roads will likely be other drivers. Expect road rules and speed limits to often not be followed and be extra aware of drivers around you, especially when someone wants to overtake you on a one-way street. If you head outside of the city, the roads may not be as well kept.

A small car will likely be best in Moscow, due to it's small one way streets. A small car will make overtaking in these situations a bit easier. Alternatively, if you plan on mostly driving outside of the city, a sturdier car such as a four-wheel-drive may be best to ensure it can handle the roads, no matter how well kept they are. You also may wish to hire an electric vehicle, as these can always park for free.

Car hire insurance in Moscow
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Moscow car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Moscow.
