Hyundai Rental in Baku: 14 Models from the i20 to the Palisade at Karavan Rent A Car in Baku
The essentials. Karavan Rent A Car in Baku has 14 Hyundai models in its fleet: the i20 hatchback; the Accent, Elantra, Sonata and Grandeur sedans; the Venue, Creta, Tucson, ix35 and Santa Fe crossovers; the Palisade SUV; and the Staria, H-1 and Custin minivans. Every one of them is automatic. You can rent a Hyundai from one day, collect it at the airport, your hotel or any address around the clock, and skip the deposit if you prefer.
When a guest messages our manager saying “I’d like a Hyundai”, the reply is almost always a question: which one? Under one badge, our fleet holds cars for very different trips — from a city hatchback that slips easily into a parking space by Baku Boulevard to the seven-seat, all-wheel-drive Palisade and minivans that take a whole family and its suitcases straight from the airport. This guide will help you choose a Hyundai rental for your route around Baku and Azerbaijan: what each model does well, who it suits and how to rent it.
Hyundai: from its first Cortina to 4.1 million cars a year
Chung Ju-yung founded Hyundai Motor Company in 1967. In 1968 the Ulsan plant assembled its first car, the Ford Cortina, built together with Ford, and in 1974 the Pony — the first mass-produced South Korean car — made its debut at the Turin Motor Show. The company is headquartered in Seoul. In 1998 Hyundai acquired Kia, and today both brands belong to Hyundai Motor Group; we cover the Kias in our fleet in our guide to Kia rental in Baku.
In 2025 Hyundai’s global retail sales passed 4.1 million vehicles. In Azerbaijan, the brand’s official exclusive distributor is Auto Azərbaycan.
Why a Hyundai works well as a rental
First, choice without compromise on class. At Karavan Rent A Car in Baku you’ll find Hyundais in economy, mid-size and business class, among crossovers and minivans, and in the SUV class too. You can take a compact car for weekdays in town and switch to a crossover of the same brand — with familiar buttons and menus — for a trip to the mountains.
Second, capacity. Five Hyundai models in our fleet carry seven people or more: the Santa Fe, Palisade, Staria, Custin and H-1. A big family or a group of friends won’t need to split between two cars.
Third, peace of mind on the road. Every Hyundai is serviced every 5,000 km, with the oil and all filters replaced, and we change the tyres every 50,000 km. If anything happens on the way, roadside assistance and towing work around the clock, and if a breakdown isn’t your fault, you’ll get a replacement car.

Hyundai rental prices in Baku
Four things shape the cost of a Hyundai rental: the model, the season, how busy the fleet is and how long you keep the car. The longer the rental, the less each day costs. For the exact figure for your dates, use online booking on our website or ask the manager on WhatsApp. If you need the car for 3, 6 or 12 months or longer, separate, more favourable terms apply.
Some models are part of the Surprise-Car tariffs. The economy tariff includes the i20 and Accent at 15–30% off, the mid-size tariff includes the Elantra and Sonata at 15–50% off, and the crossover tariff includes the Venue, Creta and Tucson at up to 50% off. The discount comes with firm rules: 100% prepayment, no refunds, and the system assigns the specific car on the day of pickup.
Delivery is charged separately and depends on the address and time of day — the manager will quote the amount before you make any prepayment.
How to get your Hyundai: airport, hotel or any address
Your rented Hyundai will come to wherever suits you, day or night: the arrivals hall exit at Heydar Aliyev Airport, the entrance of your hotel or any address you give us. A delivery service manager hands it over with the contract already drawn up in your name, so on the spot you simply inspect the car together and sign. Our guide to car rental with hotel delivery explains how it works at hotels, and our Baku airport car rental guide covers the airport handover.
What you need to rent a Hyundai:
- a driver aged 21 to 65 with at least one year of driving experience;
- a passport and a driving licence;
- a deposit only if you want one — you can skip it by choosing the “No Deposit” service with standard insurance or the full “All Risks Zero” insurance;
- a rental period from one day, or from three days for remote regions;
- payment in cash, by debit or credit card or by bank transfer, with a 20% prepayment when you book;
- unlimited mileage within Azerbaijan; driving abroad is not allowed;
- a second driver added to the contract free of charge.
You’ll find the rest in our guide to car rental terms in Baku. And here’s how delivery looks in practice: a guest staying at the Baku Marriott Hotel Boulevard received a Hyundai Accent right at the hotel.
Planned for the fleet: new Hyundai Palisade, Santa Fe, Tucson and Staria
Karavan Rent A Car in Baku plans to add new Hyundai Palisade, Santa Fe, Tucson and Staria cars to its fleet. If you’d like to drive one of them, ask the manager on WhatsApp when the new cars will be available to book.
