Car rental companies operating at Moscow Vnukovo airport (VKO) and where to find them. The airport is 28 km from Moscow. See also the airport guide for general information.

The car rental offices are located on the ground floor of Terminal A, in the international arrivals area. Due to the current geopolitical situation, many international franchises have ceased operations in the country, being replaced by highly reliable local operators.

Requirements to Rent a Vehicle

To rent a car at Vnukovo Airport, you will generally need to meet the following basic requirements:

  • Identity Document: A valid passport and, in the case of foreign citizens, the corresponding entry visa or migration card.
  • Driving Licence: A valid driving licence held for at least 2 years. It is recommended to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP), especially if your original licence is not written in the Cyrillic alphabet.
  • Minimum Age: You are generally required to be at least 21 years old, although for luxury vehicle categories the minimum age may increase to 25.
  • Deposit Guarantee: A credit card in the name of the main driver is required for the security deposit hold. Check with the company whether they accept cards issued outside Russia, as due to sanctions many international cards (Visa/Mastercard) do not operate in local payment terminals.

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.
