Dry rental of cars for taxi in Tashkent

Dry rental is renting a car without a driver: you work in a taxi yourself, and Rent-Trip is responsible for the technical condition and insurance. You pay a fixed daily rate and get a fully prepared car with automatic transmission.

What is dry rental for taxi and who is it suitable for

Dry rental for taxi in Tashkent is a format where you get a car without a driver and fulfill orders in aggregators yourself. At Rent-Trip, we are responsible for the technical condition of the car, insurance, and legal cleanliness of the contract, and you are responsible for the schedule and income. Let's look at how it works and who it suits.

Dry rental — what it is and how it works

Dry rental is car rental without a driver, when you work in taxi yourself, and Rent-Trip is responsible for technical condition and insurance. You pay a fixed daily rate and get a fully prepared car with automatic transmission — from Chevrolet Nexia 3 to Hongqi H5. The contract specifies operating conditions, mileage of 200 km/day, and the responsibility of the parties. After registration, you take the car and go on the line in any aggregator operating in Tashkent. Unlike rental with a driver, you don't pay for someone else's labor — all income from orders stays with you.

Who is taxi car rental suitable for

Dry rental suits three types of drivers: beginners without their own car, drivers whose car is under repair, and those who want to work on a higher-class car. The first don't need start-up capital to buy a car — a deposit and the first week of rental are enough. The second don't lose income while their car is in service. The third switch to comfort class to take more expensive orders. For beginners, this is a way to enter the profession without buying a car — no start-up capital for a car is needed, only a deposit and the first week of rental.

How dry rental differs from rental with a driver and leasing

Dry rental differs from regular rental in that the car is provided for a long term — from a day to several months — specifically for taxi work, with a mileage of 200 km/day and insurance. With rental with a driver, you pay for the driver's labor, and profitability drops. Leasing requires an initial payment, registering the car in your ownership, and maintenance — these are long-term obligations for years. Dry rental is simply using someone else's car for a fixed rate: today you work, tomorrow you can return the car. Flexibility and lack of capital costs make this format the fastest way to start earning in taxi.

How much does dry rental cost: rates, deposit, and what's included in the price

Rent-Trip's selection includes 32 cars — prices start from 300,000 UZS/day for the Chevrolet Nexia 3 and reach 1,200,000 UZS/day for the Hongqi H5 and BYD Seal. The cost is based on the car class, daily rate, and deposit. Let's break down the rates by model and what exactly is included in the price.

The difference between classes is not only in comfort, but also in aggregator rates: comfort cars get more expensive orders and less downtime.

What is included in the daily rate

• 200 km/day mileage: this is enough for 10–⁠14 hours of work around Tashkent — from the airport to Chorsu and back.
• Insurance: the car is insured, you do not pay for the insurance policy separately.
• 24/7 technical support: in case of breakdown on the road, we resolve the issue — from consultation to car replacement.
• Pre-delivery inspection: you inspect the car together with us, record the condition in the act.
• Clean interior and a full tank: the car is handed over ready for work.

Over the 200 km limit, an extra charge per kilometer applies — its amount is fixed in the contract, so before a long trip to Samarkand or Bukhara, it's worth calculating the route and including the extra charge in the budget.

Deposit: how much and when it is returned

The deposit at Rent-Trip depends on the car class: from 3,000,000 UZS for economy and comfort, from 4,000,000 UZS for SUVs, minivans and commercial vehicles, from 5,000,000 UZS for business, and from 8,000,000 UZS for premium and exclusive models. This is not a rental payment — the amount is blocked for the duration of use and returned after the car is returned. The deposit is returned within 1–⁠3 business days after returning the car — provided there are no damages or fines. We inspect the car, check traffic police fines, and transfer the deposit back to a Uzcard or Humo card, or in cash.

How to choose a car for taxi: economy, comfort or premium

The car class directly affects aggregator rates, the number of orders, and final income. Economy gives a low entry threshold, comfort gives more expensive orders, premium gives the maximum check with less mileage. Let's break down what to choose for your tasks.

Economy class: Chevrolet Nexia 3 and Gentra for a start

For starting in taxi, the Chevrolet Nexia 3 (from 300,000 UZS) and Chevrolet Gentra (from 400,000 UZS) are optimal — inexpensive rental and a low entry threshold. Both models have automatic transmission, which is important for working in traffic jams on Amir Temur Avenue and during rush hour near the metro. Their fuel consumption is minimal, and spare parts are available in any store in Tashkent. On an economy car, you quickly recoup the rental, but aggregator rates are lower — to maximize income, you'll have to work more hours. If you're a beginner and want to understand if this is your job — take the Nexia 3 for the first week.

Comfort class: Onix, Lacetti, Emgrand, and others

Comfort class at Rent-Trip — these are Chevrolet Lacetti (from 450,000 UZS), Chevrolet Onix and Geely Emgrand (from 500,000 UZS), BYD Chazor and Chery Arrizo 8 (from 700,000 UZS). These cars are more spacious, quieter, and faster — passengers choose them for trips to the airport, Tashkent City, and business districts. Comfort cars receive more expensive orders in aggregators, and passengers more often give high ratings — this reduces downtime. If you work full-time, the difference between Nexia 3 and Onix pays off due to the average check by the end of the second week.

Premium and exclusive models: Malibu, K5, Hongqi H5

For business tariff and long trips, Rent-Trip offers Chevrolet Malibu (from 1,000,000 UZS), Kia K5 (from 1,100,000 UZS), BYD Seal and Hongqi H5 (from 1,200,000 UZS). These are executive-level cars: leather interior, powerful engines, premium comfort for passengers. Such cars are taken for work in aggregators' business tariff and for intercity orders — to Samarkand, Bukhara, or Fergana. The deposit for premium models — from 8,000,000 UZS, but the income per order is 1.5-2 times higher. If your passengers are business travelers and business people, premium pays off faster than economy.

Documents, contract and conditions for getting a car

To get a car at Rent-Trip, you need a passport and a category B driver's license. We sign a rental agreement, make a deposit, and hand over the car after a joint inspection. The whole process takes 30–⁠40 minutes if documents are ready.

What documents are needed for rental

• Passport of a citizen of Uzbekistan: original, not expired.
• Driver's license: category B, at least 2 years of experience.
• Deposit: from 3,000,000 UZS for economy and comfort, from 8,000,000 UZS for premium.
• Contact details: a phone number for contact, valid for Telegram.

For foreign citizens—a passport with a valid visa or registration in Tashkent. We check documents on site; this takes no more than 15 minutes.

How the car handover works

You come to the Rent-Trip office, and together we inspect the car: body, interior, air conditioning and electronics. The condition is recorded in the acceptance report — you sign it and receive the keys. Along with the car, documents are provided: technical passport, insurance policy, and rental agreement. We show how the multimedia works and where the spare tire is. After signing, you can immediately hit the road — the car is fueled and ready to go.

Car usage terms

The car is provided with a mileage limit of up to 200 km per day — enough for a full working day in Tashkent. Excess mileage incurs an additional charge per kilometer, the amount of which is specified in the contract. Transfer of the car to third parties and use for purposes other than taxi work are prohibited. We ask you to be careful: the interior is your workplace and your business card. The car must be returned at the agreed time, with the same fuel level and cleanliness as when it was issued.

Accidents, insurance, and deposit refund: what a driver needs to know

Working in a taxi means daily trips in heavy traffic, and accidents happen even to careful drivers. It's important to know how to act in an accident, what insurance covers, and when the deposit will be returned. Let's break it down step by step.

What to do in case of an accident with a rental car

In case of any accident, first of all — stop, turn on the hazard lights and call the traffic police officers. Do not move the car until the inspector arrives, even if the damage seems minor. Take photos and videos of the scene, exchange contacts with the other party. Immediately after the report is filed, contact us on Telegram — we will advise on what to do next. If you are at fault, the insurance covers the damage, but the deductible may be withheld from the deposit.

How does insurance on rented cars work

Every Rent-Trip car is insured, the policy is valid for the entire rental period. Insurance covers damage from accidents, theft, and damage by third parties. Your responsibility is not to flee the scene of an accident and to notify us of the incident in a timely manner. If the accident is your fault and the damage exceeds the insurance limit, the difference is deducted from the deposit. If another driver is at fault, their insurance compensates for repairs, and the deposit is fully returned.

When the deposit is returned

The deposit is returned within 1–⁠3 business days after returning the car. We check the car for damage, verify fines, and close the contract. If everything is in order, we transfer the deposit to your Uzcard or Humo card, or give it in cash. If there is damage or unpaid fines, the repair amount is deducted from the deposit, and the remainder is returned. We always provide documents confirming expenses — transparency is fundamental to us.

Income and payback: how much you can earn with a rented car

The main question for every driver is how much you can earn with a rented car. The answer depends on the car class, number of hours, and your activity on aggregators. Let's look at realistic scenarios.

How much does a driver earn in economy class

On a Chevrolet Nexia 3 for 300,000 UZS/day, working 10-12 hours a day, revenue is 500,000-700,000 UZS. After deducting rent and fuel (about 150,000 UZS), net income is 100,000-250,000 UZS per day. With 25 working days, that's 2.5-6 million UZS per month. Beginners usually reach these figures by the second week when they master optimal routes and peak hours.

Income in comfort class: higher check, less downtime

On a Chevrolet Onix or Geely Emgrand for 500,000 UZS/day, the average check is 30-40% higher: revenue reaches 700,000-900,000 UZS per shift. After rent and fuel, 150,000-300,000 UZS remains net. Comfort-class cars receive orders in the business tariff — trips to the airport, Tashkent City, and business districts. There's less downtime, and passenger ratings are higher, which increases priority in order distribution.

Payback of the premium class: when it is profitable

On a Hongqi H5 or BYD Seal for 1,200,000 UZS/day, revenue starts from 1.5 million UZS per shift when working in the business tariff. Net income is 300,000-500,000 UZS per day, but only if you consistently receive premium-segment orders. This class requires experience and knowledge of the city: passengers are business travelers, and they care about the route and pickup time. If you're a beginner, start with economy — premium pays off with an established client base.
