Pickup Truck Rental in Baku and Across Azerbaijan: Karavan Rent A Car in Baku Compares the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi L200, Great Wall Poer and Changan Hunter

Karavan Rent A Car in Baku’s blog now carries a guide for anyone who needs a pickup. It sets the models the company rents out in Baku side by side and explains how to use them for trips across Azerbaijan.

There’s a wide choice of diesel four-wheel-drive pickups for hire, each with a five-seat double cab:

• the eighth-generation Toyota Hilux, a nameplate whose rally prototypes won the Dakar four times between 2019 and 2025;
• the Ford Ranger, which has the fleet’s longest wheelbase at 3.27 m and which Ford reported as Europe’s top-selling pickup for a tenth consecutive year in 2024;
• the Mitsubishi L200 in several generations, including the sixth, unveiled in Bangkok in the summer of 2023;
• the Great Wall Poer, the fleet’s longest pickup at 5.41 m;
• the Changan Hunter, the one Changan in the fleet that runs on diesel, fitted with a reversing camera and leather seats.

Inside the guide:

• a single table with the length and wheelbase of every model;
• three questions that narrow down the choice (how many vehicles, who’s travelling and what’s going in the bed), with a pointer to the models that scored five stars in crash tests if children are coming along;
• the limits that apply to off-road driving, towing and work use;
• answers to frequent questions, such as whether an ordinary category B licence will do.

The pickup can go anywhere in the country: there’s no mileage cap inside Azerbaijan, delivery reaches the regions as well, and Karabakh is open once you’ve been issued a pass via yolumuzqarabaga.az.

More pickups are in the pipeline, as Karavan Rent A Car in Baku keeps track of fresh models in this class.

At any hour, the pickup arrives at whatever spot suits you: a work site, a hotel or the terminal at Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The keys and a contract prepared beforehand are handed to you by a delivery service manager. A deposit can be skipped altogether: either take full “All Risks Zero” cover, or pair standard insurance with the “No Deposit” option. Hire periods begin at 24 hours, while routes into remote districts call for at least three days.
