 | | Car rental in Kiev: A great way to see this East European City | | | Many known companies offer car rental in Kiev and from the Borispol Airport you can hire vehicles from Avis, Hertz, Sixt and Europcar. They do have differing terms and conditions but as a general rule, you will need a driver’s license, must be over 21 years of age, have a valid, known credit card and be required to leave a deposit of between €600-700 but up to €2000 if you hire a luxury class of vehicle. Watch hours of operation as agencies will charge up to €30 if a vehicle is collected or dropped off outside of office hours.
Kiev drivers are notoriously quick, and road speed limits seem to be ignored by most. Watch this, particularly when you enter an intersection as they may not give way. Also, do not be surprised if you see many cars parked on the sidewalks around Kiev as parking is hard to come by and the locals seem to park where they please. Although there are strict penalties for offences such as driving under the influence of alcohol, Ukrainian police are not regularly seen on the streets and highways. It is suggested you choose a rental car company offering 24 hr roadside assistance and perhaps take a GPS option in your preferred language which is a great navigation guide. | | | | | | |  | | Compare Cheap Car Rentals Deals | | |
