Two Renault models for rent at Rent-Trip: what these cars are
Rent-Trip's fleet includes two Renault models — Duster and Arkana. Both are automatic crossovers, but with different characters. Let's look at what each is good for in Tashkent.
Renault Duster: an SUV for the city and light off-road
Renault Duster at Rent-Trip is an all-wheel-drive crossover with automatic transmission from 700,000 UZS/day, which feels equally confident in city traffic jams and on dirt roads beyond Chimgan. For us, this model is the most popular choice among guests planning to go off asphalt. High ground clearance and energy-intensive suspension allow you to maintain speed on broken roads to Charvak, and short overhangs protect bumpers when parking near curbs. Inside, everything is simple and functional: nothing extra, but everything at hand. The Duster's high ground clearance and all-wheel drive forgive a beginner's mistakes on bad roads—this is the best choice if you plan to go off asphalt.
Renault Arkana: a city crossover with coupe character
Renault Arkana at Rent-Trip is a stylish crossover with automatic transmission from 750,000 UZS/day, designed for comfortable travel around Tashkent and long highways. We give this model to those who value smooth ride and modern design: the sloping roof and narrow optics make it stand out in traffic on Amir Temur Avenue. Unlike the utilitarian Duster, it has more sound insulation and softer seats—you feel this after just an hour behind the wheel. The Arkana's suspension is tuned for asphalt, so on Uzbekistan's flat roads it drives with European composure. Arkana is the choice for those who spend a lot of time driving: its seats and sound insulation are noticeably more comfortable on long hauls to Samarkand or Bukhara.

Duster or Arkana: which Renault model to choose for your needs
The main question when renting a Renault in Tashkent is what to choose: Duster or Arkana. The answer depends on where you plan to go and what matters more to you — off-road capability or comfort.
Duster or Arkana for the city: traffic jams, parking, plane trees, and aryks
For the city in Tashkent, the Arkana is more comfortable: it handles speed bumps more softly and maneuvers more easily in dense traffic, although the Duster also feels great on flat avenues. Both cars are equipped with an automatic transmission, which relieves fatigue in multi-hour traffic jams on Bobur Street or the Small Ring Road. The ground clearance of both crossovers is sufficient not to catch curbs when parking in courtyards with plane trees. The narrow streets of the old city and aryks along the roads are not a problem for either model, but the Arkana with its more precise steering requires fewer lane changes.
Which Renault model to take for Chimgan and Charvak
For a trip to Chimgan and the Charvak Reservoir, take the Duster: all-wheel drive and high ground clearance give a margin of confidence on the last kilometers of the climb to recreation areas. This is the only mountain destination near Tashkent — about 80 kilometers from the city, and the asphalt there is good, but the exits to recreation centers and beaches are often broken by seasonal rains. We recommend the Duster if you plan to stay overnight in guest houses on the slopes: there is not always normal parking there, and you will have to drive onto grass or gravel. The road to Charvak is asphalt, but the exits to beaches and guest houses are often broken — that is where the Duster's all-wheel drive solves the parking issue.
Renault for intercity trips: Samarkand, Bukhara, Fergana
For a trip to Samarkand or Bukhara (300+ km one way), it is better to take the Arkana: it is more economical at speed and less tiring for the driver. The sloping roof does not hinder visibility, and stability on a straight line allows you to confidently maintain cruising speed on the paid sections of the M39 highway. The cabin has enough space for four with luggage, and climate control quickly copes with the heat in the Fergana foothills. Mileage up to 200 km/day is enough for a day in Samarkand, but for Bukhara or Fergana, plan an extra charge for excess mileage — this is cheaper than taking a second car.
Renault rental terms: deposit, mileage, documents, payment
Before booking a Renault in Tashkent, let's review the terms: what deposit will be required, how many kilometers are included in the rate, and what documents are needed for the contract.
Deposit for Renault: how much and when it will be returned
The deposit for renting a Renault at Rent-Trip is from 3,000,000 to 8,000,000 UZS depending on the car class; for Duster and Arkana it is returned within 1–3 business days after returning the car. The exact amount is specified in the contract and depends on the trim level and market value of the model. We accept deposits in cash, and also charge from Uzcard, Humo cards, or via Payme and Click — whichever is more convenient. The deposit is blocked on the card or paid in cash — this is standard rental practice, not a hidden fee: it is fully refunded if the car is returned without damage or fines.
Mileage and excess mileage: how many kilometers are included in the rate
The Renault rental rate includes 200 km of mileage per day — enough for a trip around Tashkent and back to Chimgan with some to spare. If you exceed the limit, the surcharge for each additional kilometer is specified in the contract — it is fixed and does not change during the rental period. We recommend estimating your route in advance: a day in Samarkand is about 600 km round trip, so include extra mileage in your budget. Mileage is monitored by odometer readings at pickup and return; a discrepancy of 1–2 km is not critical.
Documents for renting a Renault in Tashkent
To rent a Renault at Rent-Trip, you need a passport and a driver's license — national licenses of Uzbekistan, Russia, or Kazakhstan are suitable without an international one. Driver's age — from 21 years, experience — from 2 years; these are standard rental requirements, not our whim. If a second driver gets behind the wheel, their data is entered into the contract — otherwise, insurance will not cover an incident while driving. We check documents in 10–15 minutes upon issuance, so come without rushing.
What's included in Renault rental and how pickup works
We rent out Renault with a full tank or with the same fuel level as at the time of issuance — whichever is more convenient for you. We explain what else is included in the tariff and how the car handover process works.
What's included in the rental: insurance, technical support, extras
The Renault rental price includes basic liability insurance, 24/7 technical support during the rental period, and legal contract execution. Additionally, you can order a child seat, dash cam, or navigator — check availability when booking via Telegram. Each car undergoes pre-rental preparation: checking fluid levels, tire pressure, and air conditioning operation before issuance. In the heat of Tashkent summer, we always turn the climate control to full power during handover so you do not wait for the cabin to cool.
How car pickup and return work
Renault delivery occurs at a convenient location for you: at Tashkent airport, near a hotel, or at the office — delivery is included in the service. At handover, we jointly inspect the body, record chips and scratches in the report, and verify fuel and mileage readings. At return, we repeat the procedure: the inspection takes 15–20 minutes, after which we prepare the report and initiate the deposit refund. If you're returning the car at night or early morning before a flight, let us know in advance, and we'll adapt to your schedule.
Where to go in a rented Renault: city, Chimgan, Samarkand
Tashkent is located on a plain, but with a rented Renault, both city routes and long-distance destinations are accessible. We suggest where it makes sense to go.
City routes in a Renault: from Chorsu to Tashkent City
In Tashkent, a Renault makes it easy to navigate the center: wide avenues and the elevated circular metro line relieve the main roads. Start with a walk near Chorsu Bazaar, then drive along Amir Temur Street to Independence Square, and in the evening check out Tashkent City — there's convenient parking there. The flat terrain and open horizon make the city easy to navigate, and the automatic transmission saves you extra effort in traffic light queues.
Nature and mountains: Chimgan and Charvak Reservoir
The only mountain destination near Tashkent is Chimgan and the Charvak Reservoir, about 80 kilometers from the city. On the Duster, you will easily reach the observation platform at the dam, and on the Arkana, you will comfortably get to the beaches on the western shore. The road takes about an hour and a half, with gas stations and cafes serving national cuisine along the way. On the way back, you can stop by the village of Brichmulla — renters often stop there for plov.
Long-distance trips: Samarkand, Bukhara, Fergana, and travel abroad
In a rented Renault, it is realistic to go to Samarkand (300 km), Bukhara (600 km), or the Fergana Valley (350 km) — all roads are asphalted. For long routes, take the Arkana: it is quieter at speed and more fuel-efficient. Exit to Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan is possible — for this, notify us when booking so we can prepare documents for crossing the border. Remember the daily mileage limit: for Bukhara, plan an extra charge for excess mileage in advance.
Renault rental or taxi: which is more profitable in Tashkent
We compare renting a Renault from Rent-Trip with daily taxi rides around Tashkent — calculating in terms of money and convenience.
Calculating the budget: renting a Renault vs. taxi for a day
| Scenario | Renault (Duster) rental | Taxi around the city |
|---|---|---|
| 4 trips of 15–20 minutes | 700,000 UZS/day + fuel | 100,000–150,000 UZS |
| Trip to Chimgan and back | 700,000 UZS/day + fuel | 500,000–700,000 UZS |
| A day in Samarkand (600 km) | 700,000 UZS + excess mileage | from 1,000,000 UZS |
| Freedom of movement | Full, your own schedule | Depends on available drivers |
| Child seat | Available | Not always |
When is renting a Renault more profitable than a taxi
If you plan more than two trips a day or a trip outside the city, renting a Renault is more profitable than a taxi. A trip to Chimgan by taxi round trip will cost almost as much as a day of rental, and to Samarkand taxi drivers ask from a million UZS. Renting gives you freedom: stop at a roadside cafe, linger at a viewpoint, or go to Fergana without being tied to the driver's schedule. For a family with children or a group of 3–4 people, a car is almost always more practical.
When is a taxi in Tashkent more convenient than renting
Taxi makes sense if you need just a couple of short trips around the center without luggage and a strict schedule. During rush hour on the narrow streets of the old city, it is easier to leave the car in a parking lot and walk. If you plan to relax with alcohol in the evening, a taxi is safer — you won't have to worry about picking up the car in the morning. But for outdoor activities, trips to nature, and intercity routes, renting a Renault remains the main choice.
Conclusion
Renault rentals offer two different cars for different tasks: the all-wheel-drive Duster for off-road and mountains, and the comfortable Arkana for city and highways. Both have automatic transmissions, which is important for Tashkent traffic jams and long hauls. Before booking, honestly ask yourself where you'll go: if to Chimgan and dirt roads—take the Duster; if on asphalt and long distances—the Arkana. In any case, factor in the daily mileage limit and remember the deposit, which is returned after returning the car. Have a good road and smooth asphalt!
