Car Rental in Russia

General Information about Russia

Russia is the largest country in the world and its natural and cultural heritage waiting to be discovered. With a car rental is the best way to see the country at your leisure. It is an essential and fascinating destination, the flipside of modern Europe and still an unknown quantity to most travellers. Russia is like a mix of two worlds, Europe and Asia, democracy and communism, joy and grief, prosperity and poverty. You can find there calm grey residential areas, museums, hidden little churches with golden domes and church music in the centrum, monumental Stalin's buildings. The capital of the country is Moscow.

The currency in Russia is the rouble. You can use all major credit and debit cards (including Cirrus and Maestro) in ATMs and in good restaurants and hotels. Euro or US dollar cash is the best to bring. Most major currencies can be exchanged at change booths all over any town in Russia. Look for the sign obmen valyut. You may be asked for your passport.

Russian is the official language and English is becoming a requirement in the business world, and younger people will often know enough to communicate, but generally English is not understood and spoken very well by the people there. In upscale hotels almost all staff has a working knowledge of foreign languages, including English.
