Review from a Baku resident: renting the new BYD Qin Plus for two weeks

My name is Rashad Huseynov, I live in Baku, in the Narimanov district. My own car went in for bodywork after a minor accident and the repair was estimated at two weeks. Two weeks without transport with a job and two children is simply not an option.

I decided to arrange car rental in Baku for the whole period. At Karavan Rent A Car in Baku I was offered the new BYD Qin Plus, and I took it deliberately: I had been thinking about buying a hybrid and wanted to live with one before deciding.

The car was delivered to my house on the day I called. That alone saved me a trip across the city.

Two weeks of daily driving turned out to be a very useful test. Around Baku the car runs mostly on electricity, and my fuel spending dropped to almost nothing compared with my usual car. In fourteen days I refuelled once.

In the morning I take the children to school, then drive to work near Ganjlik, and in the evening there is the shopping and whatever else comes up. The car is comfortable in traffic, quiet, and the automatic transmission makes the jams far less tiring.

At the weekend we drove the whole family to Shikhov beach and then out to Gobustan. There is enough room in the back for two children and their things, and the boot swallowed everything without complaint.

Everything about the rental was straightforward. The price for two weeks was named immediately, the insurance terms were explained in plain language, and at the end no unexpected charges appeared.

When my own car was ready, I wrote to the manager and the Qin Plus was collected from the same place the next morning.

For local residents who suddenly need transport, short-term car rental in Baku is a perfectly sensible solution. And if you are considering a hybrid, the new BYD Qin Plus from Karavan Rent A Car in Baku is a good way to try one before you buy.
