Age and experience: from 21
The standard terms are ages 21 to 65 with at least one year’s experience. Drivers over 65 are also approved individually, up to age 75.
Documents: passport and licence
Azerbaijan is a party to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, so national licences with details in Latin script are accepted without an International Driving Permit — this applies, for example, to Russian, Turkish and Israeli licences. Turkish citizens can use a biometric ID card instead of a passport.
No deposit and full insurance
Basic insurance is already included in every rental. If you don’t want to leave a deposit, choose the “No Deposit” option when booking. And to have zero liability for damage, take “All Risk Zero” full insurance. It covers accidents, theft, glass, tyres, the underbody, the roof, natural disasters and vandalism.
Rental period: from one day
You can rent a car for just one day — at the regular rate and with the same unlimited mileage. That’s enough for a trip to Gobustan, Absheron or Shamakhi.
Payment: no credit card needed
We accept all payment methods: cash manats, Visa, Mastercard and MIR debit and credit cards, and bank transfers. The prepayment when booking is 20%, with the balance paid when you collect the car.
24/7 pick-up and the airport
Cars are delivered and collected at any time of day or night — including for night flights. At Heydar Aliyev Airport a representative meets you in arrivals with a name sign, and you can return the car at the same place before your flight. If anything happens on the road, managers are available around the clock and will arrange help.
How to book: 4 steps
