Car rental for intercity trips in Tashkent

Trips to Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Fergana, or to Chimgan require a car ready for long hauls. Rent-Trip's selection includes 67 cars with automatic transmission, from compact crossovers to premium SUVs, with rates from 500,000 UZS per day with mileage up to 200 km.

What is intercity rental and who is it suitable for

Intercity rental is not a taxi or hourly rental, but a full-fledged car rental for a day or more for trips outside Tashkent. The Rent-Trip selection includes 67 cars with automatic transmission that can be picked up from the capital and head to Samarkand, Bukhara, Fergana, or Chimgan.

How intercity rental differs from city rental

Intercity rental is renting a car for a day or more for trips outside Tashkent, with mileage up to 200 km per day and the ability to travel to other cities in Uzbekistan and even neighboring countries. In city rental, you take a car to visit a couple of points in the capital, but here the task is different — a long haul on the M-39 or A-373 highway, several hours behind the wheel, heat, and changing road surfaces. Therefore, Rent-Trip forms a selection not of small cars for traffic jams, but of stable crossovers and SUVs with power reserve for overtaking. The rate already includes mileage up to 200 km per day — this is enough for the road to Chimgan and back with a reserve. The main difference from city rental is not the mileage around the city, but readiness for long hauls: highway, heat, several hours behind the wheel.

Who is intercity car rental suitable for

Intercity rental suits those traveling to Samarkand, Bukhara, Fergana, or Chimgan for 1-7 days: families, small companies, business travelers, and tourists. A family with two children would be better off taking a Chevrolet Captiva and driving with their own stops rather than adjusting to the Afrosiyob train schedule. A group of colleagues going to a forum in Tashkent City would logically rent a Toyota Alphard to get to the hotel and back without calling two taxis. For tourists planning to see both Khiva and Nukus in a week, a car gives freedom — you can stay overnight in Bukhara and leave further in the morning. If the trip is longer than three days, renting a car is almost always more profitable than taking a taxi both ways — especially when you need to move around the destination city itself.

Which cars are included in the selection

Rent-Trip's selection includes 67 cars — crossovers, SUVs, minivans, and premium class, all with automatic transmissions. The list includes the Chevrolet Tracker from 600,000 UZS, Geely Coolray from 750,000 UZS, Toyota Land Cruiser 200 from 2,000,000 UZS, and Mercedes-Benz G-Class from 8,000,000 UZS. There are also electric options — Tesla Model Y from 1,500,000 UZS, and the hybrid BYD Song Plus from 1,200,000 UZS. For intercity trips, we deliberately do not include compact cars in the selection: on the highway, stability, power reserve, and comfort over long distances matter, not maneuverability in city traffic jams.

How to choose a car for a trip out of town

Choosing a car for intercity travel depends on the number of passengers, luggage, route, and budget. We break it down by tasks: from a compact trip to Chimgan to a business-class outing to Samarkand.

Crossovers up to 1 million UZS — a universal choice

Chevrolet Tracker from 600,000 UZS, Chevrolet Captiva from 700,000 UZS, and Geely Coolray from 750,000 UZS — optimal crossovers for a trip to Samarkand or Chimgan for 2-4 people. Any of them handles the highway to Samarkand (about 300 km) without strain, climate control saves from summer heat, and the trunk fits weekend suitcases. For a couple or a family with one child, the Captiva offers more trunk space, while the Coolray is more economical on the highway. From our experience, these three models are most often booked for 2-3 days: the rental price is comparable to train tickets for the whole family, but gives freedom of movement in the destination city.

SUVs and minivans for large groups

For a trip with six people or with a lot of luggage to Khiva or Bukhara, the Toyota Alphard from 1,800,000 UZS or Chevrolet Traverse from 1,600,000 UZS are suitable. The Alphard is not just 7 seats, but also comfort for rear passengers: on a 600 km distance to Khiva, passengers do not get tired. The Traverse is a bit simpler in trim, but holds the same number of people and noticeably more stuff — three suitcases and a couple of bags fit without issues. For a trip to Chimgan with an overnight stay at a base near the Charvak reservoir, an all-wheel-drive Chevrolet Equinox from 1,000,000 UZS is enough. If you plan a trip to Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan, take an SUV: at the border and on dirt sections, range and ground clearance matter.

How much does it cost to rent for intercity travel in Tashkent

The rental price consists of a daily rate, mileage, and deposit. We break down what's included in the cost and how to calculate the trip budget to Samarkand, Bukhara, or Chimgan.

Prices for cars in the selection

Intercity rental in Tashkent starts from 500,000 UZS/day for a Chevrolet Orlando 2018 minivan and goes up to 8,000,000 UZS for a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

What's included in the rental price

The Rent-Trip rate includes mileage of up to 200 km per day, insurance, car inspection before issuance, and 24/7 support. Delivery of the car to Tashkent airport or a hotel in the center is free if the address is within the city. Beyond the limit, there is an additional charge per kilometer — its amount is specified in the contract, so the final cost is easy to calculate in advance. The longer the rental period, the more favorable: for 5-7 days, we often meet you halfway on price — check in Telegram.

How to calculate trip budget

To estimate the cost, multiply the daily rate by the number of days and add a reserve for mileage over the limit. A trip to Samarkand and back is about 600 km, so for a three-day rental of a Chevrolet Captiva, budget for 2-3 additional mileage units beyond 200 km/day. For Bukhara (about 1200 km round trip) for four days, it is reasonable to take a Geely Monjaro with a reserve in power and comfort. The deposit 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. It is returned within 1–⁠3 business days after returning the car without damage or fines.

Popular routes from Tashkent

From Tashkent, it is convenient to drive to the Chimgan mountains, the ancient cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, the Fergana Valley, and even neighboring countries in a rented car. We break down the directions and what to consider on the road.

Chimgan and Charvak — 80 km from the city

Chimgan and Charvak Reservoir — the only mountain destination near Tashkent, just 80 km on a good paved road. The drive takes about 1.5 hours, with gas stations and cafes along the route. For a one-day trip, a Chevrolet Tracker is enough — 200 km of mileage covers the road there and back with a margin. At Charvak there are parking lots near the beaches and recreation centers, but on summer weekends it's better to grab a spot before 10 am.

Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva — the classics of Uzbekistan

Samarkand is 300 km along the M-39 highway, about 4 hours on the way. Bukhara is 600 km, 7-8 hours with one stop for lunch. Khiva is 1000 km, better to plan with an overnight stay in Bukhara. For these routes, take a Chevrolet Captiva or Geely Monjaro — on a long distance, seat comfort and sound insulation are important. There are cameras and traffic police posts on the highway, speeding is fined — stick to the permitted speed.

Fergana and travel to Kazakhstan

Fergana Valley — 330 km via the Kamchik Pass, the road is toll and well-paved. For a trip to Fergana, Andijan or Namangan, the Chevrolet Equinox is suitable — all-wheel drive will come in handy on the serpentine. Travel to Kazakhstan is possible through several checkpoints, the nearest is 30 km from Tashkent. To cross the border, you need a foreign passport and the technical passport of the rented car — we issue it along with the contract.

How rental works: from booking to return

Car Pickup

Upon delivery, we sign the contract, record the odometer readings and fuel level, and inspect the body for chips and scratches. You receive two sets of keys, the vehicle registration certificate, and an insurance policy. We briefly explain the features of the specific model — for example, how to engage four-wheel drive on a Land Cruiser 200 or set up climate control on a Tesla Model Y.

Return and inspection

Return — at a convenient time for you; we pick up the car at an address in Tashkent. Upon return, we check the fuel (must be returned with the same level), the condition of the body and interior. If everything is in order — we return the deposit within 1–⁠3 business days. Fines from cameras arrive within 5-7 days; if there are any, we deduct them from the deposit and send a copy of the resolution.
