Fashionable theme today – karshering. There are already many large Russian cities, including in Sochi. Not bad in principle alternative to a taxi or rented car, but there are also disadvantages. Not for all trips suitable, rather on short movements. Better, of course, own car, but if you go from Moscow, then far away and also there is not always a desire to lose 1-2 days on the road for driving.

List of car sharing companies in Sochi
I know 3 carsharing, which is in Sochi and at the same time normal work. If I’m wrong, write comments, everything changes. Once upon a time, in general, everything started with one company.
- Urent Car. To register in the application URentCar use Promo code TZHV1Q to get 50% of its first trip to the bonus account.
- Belka car. To register in the BelkaCar application, use promo code FWCU0646 to get 300 rubles after first trip.
- YouDrive. To register in the YouDrive application, use EynYX9 promo code to get 50% discount on your first trip.
- Sharemobil, Car5, Matershcar. On many sites in the list of companies these cars in Sochi also lead these 3 offices. But a bunch of them negative feedback due to the fact that either is impossible register, or the application is rejected, or no cars. I myself put all 3 applications and, at least, did not see that they work in Sochi (at the time of writing the post).
Carsharing is a great idea, but at the moment it’s not always everything is smooth. And if we say that we always want everything it was fast and convenient, then this is clearly not a car sharing, but a taxi or rented car.
Carsharing in Sochi and Adler
Parking at the airport of Sochi
URentCar for the completion of the lease in the parking lot The cargo terminal writes off 700 rubles from the card. And who will take this car will have to pay in the parking machine the 700 rubles that it already returned bonuses. That is, even those who took the car will not very convenient, because the bonuses then have to spend. There is also a zone with free parking, however, to her 5-10 minutes.
BelkaCar has free parking close to The airport is located near the VIP terminal. When leaving the building Airport you need to go a couple of minutes to the right, there is a separate parking.
YouDrive parking at Cargo Terminal free, it is to the left of the exit from the airport. And they have one more parking, a little further on the left. On the map in the application everything marked.

Parking in Sochi and Adler
Any car sharing forbids to complete the lease on closed parking lots, from where you just can’t leave (barrier, checkpoint). And also on underground parking, for example, in shopping and business centers. Is always It is necessary to complete the lease in the frames of the zone indicated in the mobile application.
Park outside of the zone or in a private paid parking for your money is possible, but the car will have to be put on standby with per minute payment (~ 2 rub / min), then to take it out of it places and complete the rental wherever possible.
It is important to follow the rules of traffic rules, because in Sochi it is often fined for wrong parking and taken away on the tow truck. All fines will fall on the one who left the car in this place.
URentCar and YouDrive allow park and complete the rental ONLY for free of charge municipal parking lots. For me, this is a serious minus, especially since in season with Parking in general is not very good. Consider this moment, because in Moscow, all used to carsharing cars can be left on paid parking. Here I have a list of free parking here.
BelkaCar allows you to park on any open parking, free and paid. The only ones who allows
Car sharing prices
Prices for cars of one class are similar, if we talk about BelkaCar and YouDrive. URentCar in the park only Chinese Ravon and Datsun, therefore cheaper. Machines on the fan, keep in mind.
- BelkaCar: from 8.5-9 rubles / min.
- YouDrive: from 8 rub / min.
- URentCar: from 7 rub / min (but there are discounts from 6 rub / min).
From Sochi / Adler Airport to the Olympic Village or Rosa Khutor (50-55 km) I got on carsharing 500-650 rubles. Good price, Yes, because there are no traffic jams. Taxi costs 1500-1800 rubles for the same distance.
But it also happened that for 50 km I gave 800-1000 rubles, when I stood in traffic jams. Well, or when you had to stop and set waiting for the car, not to be left without wheels. In fact on long distance or for a long route with stops price It comes out already, as for the usual car rental. It makes no sense to take car sharing
Now, about short distances. For 3-5 km in Sochi / Adler gave 100-200 rubles, depending on traffic jams and traffic lights.
Advantages and disadvantages
First, the pros:
- The main plus is the price, it is lower than by taxi.
- BelkaCar and YouDrive are in Moscow, no need to put new ones applications, register in them and send again documents.
The process of riding a carsharing machine looks like this: you book the nearest car in the app, then go to it on the map, You come up and click “Rent”, look around, take pictures, send photos, sit down, check the docks and go. Look like that’s it simple, but not always smooth.
Minuses:
- The car may be far away. And if you need to drive a very small distance then it makes no sense to stomp to it 20 minutes from hotel / apartment.
- Not everywhere and not always have a car. It all depends on where you are, because somewhere they appear more often, but somewhere you can don’t wait. After Moscow, really not enough cars. Most park at Urentcar.
- Urentcar may have a bunch of unmarked machines scratch stickers. Of course, you should always do at least 4 photos on all sides, but they are not always all visible scratches, especially in the dark. And, either inspect and take pictures more carefully, or there is a risk that later damage will be presented to you. Although they say, to minor scratches finding fault.
- If you go to a place where there are no carsharing cars or leaving the parking zone, you will have to put the car in mode waiting to be able to go back. And this is also money.
- Unlike a rented car, you won’t leave a rented car. your stuff in the trunk, for example, while you walk around the store. so or again have to put in standby mode. Also no children chairs or boosters. And your carry so-so pleasure. But how option to buy a compact booster.
- There are dirty cars or badly ushatannye. However, the same Taxi in Sochi, too, are far from ideal.
Urentcar notes damage marks right on the car, the rest car sharing in the app
What else can happen? Once faced with what was flat tire (Urentcar). And, either pump it up, or give up your reservation and go to another car. I refused, was not the desire to pump the usual pump in the heat (not a compressor). AT I spent a lot of time on all these adventures.
Another time, the car just stopped at a traffic light, stopped react to gas, apparently something with automatic transmission (Belkacar). Not only did I have to push the car to the parking space (on the road cannot be left, the tow truck will take and the penalty on me), so also and found himself in a completely uncomfortable place where there were no others carsharing cars and taxis. By the way, for the trip money is not returned.
P.S. If the main task is to save, then there are no options. But if you want maximum convenience, then this is not a car sharing. I personally I use occasionally, but if I know that I will need every day to go around the neighborhood, then already take rented.
