Car rental for trips around Uzbekistan

Travel around Uzbekistan freely: 62 cars for rent at Rent-Trip — from compact crossovers to premium SUVs. Choose according to your route!

Which cars are suitable for trips around Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is flat highways between cities, hot summers, and rare mountainous sections only towards Chimgan. We tell you how to choose a car for specific tasks.

SUVs and crossovers are a versatile choice for intercity trips

Rent-Trip's selection includes 62 cars, and most are SUVs and crossovers: Chevrolet Tracker from 600,000 UZS/day, Geely Coolray from 750,000 UZS/day, Chevrolet Captiva from 700,000 UZS/day. All have automatic transmissions and air conditioning — in Tashkent's heat, this is not an option but a necessity. On the road to Samarkand, a crossover confidently holds a speed of 110–120 km/h, and the ground clearance allows you to safely turn off onto dirt roads near roadside teahouses. A crossover is more comfortable than a sedan on the Tashkent–Samarkand highway: higher seating, softer suspension, and a larger trunk for purchases from Chorsu Bazaar.

Minivans for family trips and groups

For family trips or a company of up to 6 people, Rent-Trip has the Toyota Alphard — a minivan from 1,800,000 UZS/day with automatic transmission and a spacious interior. The second row with captain's chairs turns the 600-kilometer drive to Bukhara into a comfortable journey: passengers can stretch their legs, and the trunk fits the suitcases of the whole group. On the Tashkent–Bukhara route, a minivan is more convenient than two cars: one driver, common stops, and less fuel costs.

Comparison of car classes for different tasks

At Rent-Trip, there are four classes of cars — from budget crossovers to premium SUVs, each for its own trip format.

For a trip to Chimgan (80 km), the Chevrolet Tracker is enough, but for meeting partners in Tashkent City, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is more logical.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Tashkent: prices and deposit

The rental price in Tashkent depends on the car class. We break down what makes up the cost and what deposit will be required.

Prices for renting cars in Tashkent

Car rental for trips around Uzbekistan in Tashkent starts from 600,000 UZS/day — this is a Chevrolet Tracker with automatic transmission. Geely Coolray will cost from 750,000 UZS/day, Chevrolet Captiva — from 700,000 UZS/day. If you need extra power for a long road, look at Chevrolet Equinox from 1,000,000 UZS/day or Geely Monjaro from 1,200,000 UZS/day. Electric cars are represented by Tesla Model Y from 1,500,000 UZS/day and BYD Song Plus from 1,200,000 UZS/day — there are enough charging stations in Tashkent, but in remote areas it's more difficult. The longer the route, the more profitable a higher class: on 1000 km to Khiva, a Land Cruiser 200 is more comfortable and safer than a budget crossover.

Deposit: how much and when it's returned

The deposit at Rent-Trip is from 3,000,000 UZS for economy and comfort to 8,000,000 UZS for premium and unique models. This is standard practice for car rental in Uzbekistan: the amount is blocked on the card or paid in cash when receiving the car. The deposit is returned within 1–3 business days after returning the car without damages or fines — factor this time into your plans. If you plan a long trip, clarify the return conditions when booking on Telegram.

Mileage and the extra charge per kilometre

The rental rate includes up to 200 km per day; beyond the limit — a surcharge for each kilometer, the amount of which is fixed in the contract. A trip Tashkent–Samarkand–Tashkent is about 600 km, that is, 3 days of rental considering the 200 km/day limit. For a route to Khiva and back (2000 km), budget at least 10 days or clarify the possibility of increasing the daily limit when booking.

What documents are needed and who can rent

To rent a car in Tashkent, you need a minimum package of documents. We explain what exactly is required and what requirements apply to the driver.

What documents are needed for rental

To rent a car in Uzbekistan, you need a passport and a driver's license — national or international. For foreign guests, a foreign passport with or without an open visa is sufficient if the country is on the visa-free list. The rental agreement is drawn up in Russian or Uzbek, and a second copy is given to the driver. An international license is convenient if you plan to travel to Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan — the borders are close to Tashkent.

Driver requirements: age and experience

A driver over 21 years old with at least 2 years of driving experience can rent a car. This requirement is standard for all rentals in Tashkent, but at Rent-Trip we check experience by driver's license, not by word of mouth. If a second driver will be behind the wheel, specify them in the agreement in advance so that insurance covers them too. Adding an additional driver is free, but they must be present during processing with the same documents.

Can you rent without a driver?

At Rent-Trip, all 62 cars are rented without a driver — you drive the car yourself. This is convenient for those who are used to independent travel and do not want to depend on someone else's schedule. Renting without a driver gives you freedom of route: you can stop at any point on the way to Samarkand or Bukhara, drop by a village to see artisans, or spend the night in the Chimgan mountains.

Can I drive out of town: routes around Uzbekistan

A rented car in Tashkent is not just the city, but the whole country. We look at popular destinations and features of intercity trips.

Nearby routes: Chimgan and Charvak

Chimgan and the Charvak Reservoir are the only mountain destination near Tashkent, about 80 km from the city. The road is paved, but with long climbs and serpentines — any crossover from our selection will suit it. At Charvak, there are beaches, cafes, and recreation areas, and Chimgan itself is a base for hiking and the cable car. On summer weekends, the road is busy, so leave in the morning before 8:00 to avoid traffic jams.

Medium routes: Samarkand and Bukhara

Samarkand is 300 km from Tashkent, about 4 hours on the M39 highway. The road is in good condition, but with heavy traffic — trucks, buses, and shared taxis. For such a trip, a Chevrolet Tracker or Geely Coolray is suitable: fuel consumption is low, and the air conditioner saves you in the summer heat. Bukhara is further — about 600 km, 7–8 hours of travel. Here, an SUV or minivan is more comfortable: you can sleep in the back row, and the driver doesn't get tired from long sitting behind the wheel.

Long routes: Khiva, Nukus, Fergana

Khiva and Nukus are 1000–1200 km from Tashkent, a trip of 2–3 days one way. The road to Khiva passes through desert areas where it is important to have a reserve of fuel and water. Toyota Land Cruiser 200 from 2,000,000 UZS/day or Chevrolet Traverse from 1,600,000 UZS/day is the optimal choice for such routes. The Fergana Valley is 300–400 km through the Kamchik Pass; in winter, snow and ice are possible here, so all-wheel drive won't hurt.

What's included in the rental: mileage, insurance, contract

Car rental for trips around Uzbekistan in Tashkent is not just the price per day. We tell you what is included in the rate and what to pay attention to when booking.

What's included in the rental price

The base Rent-Trip rate includes up to 200 km per day, insurance, and 24/7 technical support. The car is given with a full tank and must be returned with a full one — fuel costs are paid separately. The cabin has air conditioning, a standard radio with USB, and a phone holder.

Insurance and liability

All cars are insured under OSAGO, valid in Uzbekistan. In an accident caused by your fault, the damage is covered by insurance, but the deductible can be up to the deposit amount. We recommend carefully inspecting the car upon receipt and recording all scratches and chips in the acceptance report — this will protect you from disputes upon return.

Rental agreement: what to look for

The rental agreement is made in two copies, specifying the rental period, cost, mileage, and car condition. Check that the agreement includes your passport details and driver's license number, as well as the deposit refund terms. If you plan to travel abroad (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan), make sure this is allowed by the agreement.

How rental works: from booking to return

The rental process at Rent-Trip is five steps, each taking minimal time. We'll tell you in order.

Booking via Telegram

Booking a car is done via Telegram: you message us, specify the dates, model, and purpose of the trip. The manager confirms the car's availability and reserves it for you. No prepayment is required — just come to the office at the appointed time.

Car pickup

Upon receiving the car, you inspect it together with the manager and record the condition in the acceptance certificate. We check the fuel level, air conditioning, lights, wipers, and tire pressure. Along with the keys, you receive the car documents, insurance policy and 24/7 support contacts.

Car return

Returning the car — at the appointed time in the same condition as you received it. The manager inspects the car, checks fuel level and mileage. If there is no damage and no fines, the deposit is returned within 1–3 business days.

What to do in case of an accident and emergency situations

No one plans to get into an accident, but you need to know the procedure. We explain how to behave in an accident and other road problems.

Procedure in case of an accident

In case of an accident, stop, turn on hazard lights and put up a warning triangle. Do not leave the scene — in Uzbekistan this is a criminal offense. Call traffic police officers and call Rent-Trip support at the number from the contract. Do not sign any documents without a rental representative — especially if fault is not obvious.

Car breakdown on the road

If the car breaks down on the way, call support 24/7. We will arrange towing and provide a replacement if the breakdown is serious. Technical failures not caused by you do not affect the rental cost.

Fines and violations

Fines for traffic violations are recorded by cameras and come to the car owner. We forward you the violation photo and pay the fine, and you reimburse the amount upon return. We recommend adhering to the speed limit: on Uzbekistan's highways the limits are 90–110 km/h, and cameras are placed on every section.

Conclusion

Traveling around Uzbekistan in a rental car is an opportunity to see the country without being tied to train schedules and tour groups. The selection includes 62 cars—from compact crossovers for the city to premium SUVs for long routes. The minimum rental price is from 600,000 UZS per day; the rate includes up to 200 km of mileage and insurance. Documents for rental are a passport and driver's license; the driver must be at least 21 years old with at least 2 years of experience. Choose a car for your route, book via Telegram, and hit the road—Uzbekistan's roads are open.
