Kia Rio in Baku with delivery to the hotel: a comfortable sedan for exploring the city

My name is Sofia Ruiz, I am from Valencia, and I spent five days in Baku with a friend. We wanted to see the city properly rather than through a bus window, so on the second day we decided to rent a car.

I found Karavan Rent A Car in Baku, wrote in the evening and asked whether car rental in Baku with delivery to our hotel near the Old City was possible. In the morning the Kia Rio was already waiting for us.

The employee explained everything calmly and in good English: the terms, the fuel policy, what to do if we had any trouble. There was no rush and no attempt to sell us extras we did not need.

The car suited us perfectly. A sedan is comfortable for long walks around the city because you always have somewhere to leave your bags and purchases, and the Rio is small enough to park in the narrow streets around Icherisheher.

We drove to the Heydar Aliyev Center, up to Highland Park in the evening for the view, and one day went all the way to Gobustan and the mud volcanoes. The road is good, the car is quiet enough, and the fuel cost was genuinely small.

What I liked most was the freedom. In the evening we could decide on the spot to drive to another district for dinner, without checking bus timetables or waiting for a taxi in the rain.

The car was collected from the same hotel on our departure day, at the time we agreed. The inspection took a few minutes and the deposit was returned without any discussion.

For a short city holiday I can recommend car rental in Baku with hotel delivery. The Kia Rio is inexpensive, comfortable and completely sufficient for everything a tourist needs in and around the city.
