Everyone prefers their own format of travel to the Crimea. I have enough couples days on the beach, and then I want to move and new experiences. Agree to visit the Crimean cities and various beaches, see a whole list of attractions without a car pretty complicated. In general, the car gives enormous freedom of movement, no taxis and public transport will replace it.
Yes, there is an option to go to the Crimea in your car. However, it is not comfortable way: you have to drive cars from your hometown, that will take 2-3 days from vacation, plus you get tired a lot, until you get there. Renting a car on site makes everything much easier, but it costs She is quite adequate money.

Why rent a car in Crimea
Of course, after the construction of the Kerch bridge to get to the Crimea It became easier and faster in his car. But from Moscow to me to go around 2000 km, which is quite difficult, especially with a child. Need to spend 2-3 days on the road in each direction, pay for overnight stays in hotels, get exhausted on the way and then after this long journey also rest. How many days will you leave?
That is why I always try to take a car at the airport arriving if I can not come on my own. So in the morning we we leave the house in Moscow, and in the evening we are driving a car across the Crimea. And not tired!
And then during the holidays, the car gives freedom movements and allows you to calmly and comfortably watch attractions with the whole family, go to different beaches.
By the way, we also have savings by taxi to the hotel from the airport it will be possible to go by rented car.
Rent a car in the Crimea
Features of rent in Crimea
If you go in the offseason, you can safely take the car for a week before the trip. But in the season it is better to book early, especially when it comes to peak season (July-August). I.e cars will be, just more expensive. In general, we must understand that prices in The season is basically higher than in the fall or spring.
Documents, age and experience
For renting you need only 2 documents: a passport (you can international passport) and usual driver’s license (international needed). The contract and damage scheme are filled out on the spot. paint coating the car.
The minimum age of the driver – 23 years, the minimum experience driving – 3 years. There is no maximum age limit. Conditions uniform for all cars.
Insurance and deposit
The type of insurance is always indicated on the site in the description of a specific car. A total of 3 insurance options may be offered:
- OSAGO. There is always and is already included in the rental price. When The accident is not your fault, everything is paid by the insurance culprit. When, if you are guilty, then all costs are borne by you.
- CASCO. If this option is available, then either already enters cost, or you can buy for extra money (300-700 rubles / day). CASCO comes with a franchise, it is your limit of responsibility, for example, 10 thousand rubles. If accidents happen, then all losses up to 10 thousand rubles are covered by the franchise, then everything is covered by the insurance. That is, you can not get on the money more than the franchise. The deductible is equal to the deposit (pledge) for the car that you leave during the signing of the contract. CASCO does not insure damage to tires bottoms, mirrors and windows. SuperKASKO, which insures everything, in Crimea is very rare.
- Insurance against theft. Offered by distributors rarely and sometimes. included in hull. I must say that according to statistics, hijackings rented cars have not yet been, so I would not for this insurance to pay separately.

-
- Explanation of what CASCO means
Of course, CASCO is better than CTP, less risk and problems in vacation. On the other hand, everyone decides for himself how much it is need to. Great that sometimes renting a car with a hull insurance costs so much same as the neighboring cost of CTP. Or just a little expensive.
While receiving the car in most cases leave a deposit of 5-20 thousand rubles, which you return when you give car back. This can be cash or frozen amount on bank card. In the latter case, the amount may be refunded until 30 days (I usually have 5-10 days). There are machines without deposit, they are so marked.
Mileage limit
In Crimea, sometimes set a limit on the run on the car, about 250-300 km / day. Mileage is considered total for the whole period. lease (at the time you get the car record the current mileage). Sometimes the mileage limit can be removed by ticking “Uncheck run restriction “, but, it seems to me, it does not make sense.
First, there are enough cars without run restriction. Secondly, An ordinary car traveler travels 50–150 km per day. Themselves think, Crimea is small, departure outside the peninsula is prohibited, therefore, we must try hard to drive 1,750 km in a week (7 * 250 = 1750).
Payment by card and cash
Since 2016, all Russian bank cards have been operating in Crimea MasterCard, Maestro, Visa, Visa Electron and WORLD. Therefore, now There are no problems that have been observed before. No problem you can pay for petrol on a card or withdraw cash from an ATM. Overseas cards do not work.
If we talk about car rental, then book a car at MyRentaCar website can be any card, debit or credit. BUT here on arrival payment of the remaining amount and the deposit may not be only cash, but also by card, depends on the specific rental. It is best to clarify, either in technical support MyRentaCar, or at a rental manager who will contact you a couple of days before your arrival.
Reception and return cars
You will be met with a sign at the airport of Simferopol, therefore go look for the airport is not necessary. The whole procedure of receiving the car It takes about 10 minutes. You need to sign with the rental manager lease agreement, indicate current mileage, fuel level and mark any damage on the inspection sheet.
During the inspection of the car do not rush, go around the whole car. Be sure to pay attention to the interior, windshield and tires, which are not paid for by any insurance. During the inspection I would recommended you to take a picture of everything or even shoot it on video, the benefit is everyone has smartphones now. If suddenly you are not mark on the inspection sheet, then the photo / video will come in handy.
As a rule, the car is delivered to you with a full tank, and return also need a full tank. In case you return the car with partially filled tank, then you take the cost of gasoline.
You get the car in its pure form, you need to return, plus or minus, also, otherwise, for the sink will take about 500-1000 rubles. And if the salon zagadite they will even consider dry cleaning.
The nuances of the autotravel in Crimea
- Roads are being repaired, but not very actively. Main trails quite normal, with the rest of the roads, as lucky. In cities central streets may be normal, and some gateways broken into the trash. In general, in Sevastopol, Yalta, Alushta, Simferopol everything is good. Tavrida has not been launched yet, but it is already unloading. old highway along the coast. The only pity is that the restriction speeds on Tavrida 60 km / h.
- The cost of gasoline ruble is 3 higher than in Moscow. As i’m already above wrote, you can pay for gasoline in cash and with a card. Refills abound on the southern coast of the Crimea, in the main cities, and somewhere far from the resorts to go, there are less. But the distances in the Crimea small, you will not stitch.
- Many parking places in Crimea are paid, cost about 50-100 rubles per hour. There are also free ones or where you pay for several hours at once. fixed amount. Most often, bribes are charged by valet parking, rather than automatic machines. Parking at the airport of Simferopol in the landing zone 15 minutes for free, then 500 rubles for 30 minutes. Short term parking at the airport 200 rubles per hour, and long-term first day 600 rubles, the second 500 rubles and further 300 rubles / day.
- There is no need to take the navigator from the rolling office, since everyone now has smartphones. Set yourself Yandex.Navigator and drive yourself calmly In conjunction with the local SIM card, you will still and traffic information to receive. By the way, you can download maps in advance (or at the hotel by Wifi), so as not to waste mobile traffic. I would also recommend two good apps with offline maps. (you need to download in advance): Maps.Me and OsmAnd. In both maps there are all sorts of different paths (useful when visiting attractions), and there is a navigator mode, both auto and on foot
- For the mobile Internet, you can buy a SIM card from a local operator Wave Mobile. The cheapest fare without a monthly fee “Sun” and to him the option “Internet in the phone” for 90 rubles / month, which gives 2 GB traffic. For navigator, mail, instagram and social networks is quite enough If you need more, then the tariff “Wind” for 300 rubles, which gives 10 GB. It is possible and other operators. Megaphone, Beeline and MTS in Crimea offer separate rates, as this territory is separate. AT Crimea almost everywhere has 3G coverage and already meets 4G.
- Book hotels most conveniently through the Islet, he the only one who works on the territory of Crimea from normal services. See rating, read reviews and book. But Booking and Airbnb do not work in the Crimea.
P.S. I will be glad to your additions and advice regarding car rental in Crimea and autotravel in general on the peninsula. I will try update and supplement the post.
