Monthly rental of the new BYD Qin Plus in Baku: a car for daily business trips

My name is Aigerim Dzhumabekova, I am from Almaty, and I spent a month in Baku opening a representative office for our company. Daily trips between the office, the notary, the bank and the tax authority made public transport completely impractical.

I chose long-term car rental in Baku from Karavan Rent A Car in Baku. For a month the daily rate drops significantly, and I took the new BYD Qin Plus — partly for comfort at meetings, partly out of curiosity about the hybrid.

The paperwork at the office took about fifteen minutes. Everything was explained clearly: the terms, the insurance, what to do in case of an incident, how mileage and fuel are counted. No pressure, no upselling.

For business use the car turned out to be ideal. It looks presentable enough to arrive at a partner’s office without any awkwardness, and at the same time it costs almost nothing to run. In a month of daily driving around Baku I spent on fuel roughly what a week of taxis would have cost.

The quiet cabin matters more than I expected. Between meetings I often made calls from the car, and not once did anyone ask me to repeat myself because of engine noise.

Twice I drove to Sumgait to visit a production site, and once to the airport to meet colleagues. On the highway the car is stable and the hybrid switches between modes without you noticing.

Over the month nothing needed attention: no faults, no warning lights, no trips to a service centre. For a long rental this matters more than anything, because every breakdown is a lost working day.

When I needed to extend the rental by five days, it was arranged by message within an hour, without a new visit to the office.

For a long business stay I recommend considering monthly car rental in Baku. The new BYD Qin Plus from Karavan Rent A Car in Baku is comfortable, presentable and extremely cheap to run.
