Whether you're exploring the vibrant streets of Kyiv, relaxing on the Black Sea coast in Odessa, or visiting the historical sites in Lviv, hiring a car with Rhino Car Hire ensures you can explore Ukraine at your own pace and convenience.
Required Documents: You'll need a valid driver's license, passport, and a credit card to rent a car. An international driver's permit (IDP) is advisable, though not always mandatory. Insurance: Ensure you have comprehensive insurance coverage, including theft and liability, as local traffic can be unpredictable. Traffic Rules: Ukrainians drive on the right side of the road, and seatbelts are mandatory. Be aware of speed limits and adhere to them strictly. Road Signs: Familiarize yourself with Ukrainian road signs as they may differ from what you're used to.
Choosing the Right Vehicle: Ukraine experiences varying weather conditions, so your choice of car should be influenced by the season:
Summer: A standard sedan or compact car is sufficient for summer travel when weather conditions are generally favorable. Winter: If visiting in winter, especially in the northern and mountainous regions, consider renting a car with winter tires or even a 4x4 vehicle to handle snow and icy conditions.
Popular Driving Routes: Ukraine offers numerous scenic routes for road trips. Some popular options include:
Lviv to Kyiv: Experience the cultural richness of Lviv before heading to the vibrant capital city of Kyiv, passing through picturesque countryside. Carpathian Mountains: Explore the Carpathians for stunning landscapes, charming villages, and hiking opportunities. Coastal Route: Travel along the Black Sea coast, visiting cities like Odessa and enjoying beautiful sea views.
Exploring Ukraine by car is a rewarding adventure that allows you to discover the country's hidden gems at your own pace. With these tips in mind, you'll be well-prepared for an unforgettable journey through this enchanting Eastern European nation. Airports in Ukraine:

Ensure Proper Documentation: Carry a valid driving license from your home country along with an International Driving Permit (IDP), as both are typically required to rent a car and drive legally in Ukraine. Keep these documents, your passport, and your rental agreement with you at all times when driving.
Familiarize Yourself with Local Driving Regulations: In Ukraine, you drive on the right-hand side of the road. Be aware of local driving laws, such as speed limits and regulations regarding alcohol consumption while driving. Note that road conditions can vary greatly, with urban areas generally having better roads than rural ones.
Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Needs: Consider the type of travel you'll be doing. If you're planning to stay within cities, a smaller car might be more convenient. For travel in rural areas or during winter months, a vehicle with higher clearance and possibly four-wheel drive may be more suitable. Check that the car is equipped with necessary features like winter tires if you're visiting in cold seasons.
Review Insurance Coverage Thoroughly: Opt for a comprehensive insurance policy that covers theft, damage, and third-party liability. Driving in Ukraine can be unpredictable, and comprehensive coverage will provide peace of mind. Make sure to understand the terms, including any deductible and what exactly is covered.
Inspect the Vehicle and Plan Your Route: Before leaving with the rental car, thoroughly inspect the vehicle for any existing damage and ensure it is documented by the rental company. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle's features and controls. Additionally, plan your routes ahead of time, especially if traveling to less urbanized areas, as GPS coverage may not be reliable everywhere. Consider downloading offline maps or carrying a detailed road map of the area.
