Rental companies at the airport

Car rental companies operating at Yekaterinburg Koltsovo Airport (SVX) and where to find them. The airport is 16 km from Yekaterinburg. See also the airport guide for general information.

For passengers who prefer the independence of their own vehicle, the airport has car hire counters located in the arrivals area of Terminal A (domestic flights). They offer a wide range of vehicles to get around Yekaterinburg and the Ural region freely. We recommend booking in advance to ensure availability and obtain the best rate.

Requirements to hire a vehicle

To formalise the rental agreement at the airport offices, you will generally need to present the following documents:

  • Identification document: Valid passport.
  • Driving licence: Valid driving licence with a minimum period of validity (usually 1 to 2 years). For foreign citizens, it is recommended to have an International Driving Permit if the original licence is not in the Cyrillic alphabet.
  • Minimum age: Most agencies require drivers to be at least 21 or 23 years old, depending on the category of the selected vehicle. Drivers under 25 may be subject to an additional “young driver” surcharge.
  • Credit card: It is essential to present a credit card in the name of the booking holder to place a security deposit hold.

Companies, opening hours and desk locations can change. Check with the rental company before booking.

Tips for renting a car in Russia

  1. Check that your driver's license is valid in Russia. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is only valid together with your national license.
  2. Review what the rental includes: collision damage waiver, third-party liability and the deductible. Most companies also hold a deposit on a credit card in the driver's name.
  3. Learn the local rules before you drive: speed limits, right of way, alcohol limits and tolls.
  4. Check which side of the road traffic drives on and where the steering wheel is.
  5. At pickup, photograph the car (inside and out) and the fuel level, and keep the photos until the deposit is returned.
  6. Know what to do in an accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
