KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Almaty

  • Arriving in the large, cultural city of Almaty, in Kazakhstan, will place you in one of the most interesting and underrated European cities when it comes to arts, music and natural wonders. The Abai Kazakh Academic Opera, the museums and the Ballet Theatre are just some of the reasons to look into cheap car hire in Almaty. With the snow-tipped mountains in the background, road trips are calling from all sides of the city. With some of the most scenic parks in the country, take your Almaty car hire out and see Big Almaty Lake with the Tian Shan Astronomical Observatory, explore the trails of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains or venture further out to the Charyn Canyon, which is a gigantic sandstone canyon set in the east of Almaty.
  • Your Almaty car hire will likely come from Almaty Airport (ALA) or the local Avis, set in the city centre. When you fly into the city, you will find a Hertz based at the airport. Book ahead of time through KAYAK, then land, grab your luggage and drive your car hire in Almaty straight off the lot into your adventures.
  • Driving in Almaty is incredibly safe and easy, with the city’s infrastructure being compared to Europe more than any other city in Kazakhstan. You will drive on the right-hand side of the road and find the roads and infrastructure to be mostly well maintained in the city centre. As a large, modern city, you will not find it very different from what you are used to, but as you venture out into the mountains, arid stretches of land and vast forests, you will notice a great difference in road surfaces and terrains. Book your Almaty car hire according to your plans to ensure you have a suitable vehicle for your needs. As an Islamic state, you will find that Kazakhstan has zero tolerance for any kind of drinking and driving.
  • A challenging part of driving your cheap car hire in Almaty will be road signs, which will be in Kazakh and Russian and won’t offer English alternatives. This is less of a problem in the city centre, but any adventuring may leave you to fend for yourself with communication, and that will include traffic officers. It is wise to drive with patience and be polite to avoid being pulled over. The winter months produce snow and challenging road conditions that will need vigilance. The tolled motorway in the city will be paid in cash, so you should not expect a bill upon returning your car.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Almaty for £53 or less
  • Small hire cars in Almaty are around 22% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Almaty?

    With car hire in Almaty, there is no doubt that your car hire choice will be utterly personal and itinerary dependent. Consider the road trips and the terrains you will be taking on, as they are vastly different from region to region.

  • What is the speed limit in Almaty?

    The speed limit in Almaty is quite standard, albeit a little on the conservative side compared to Western Europe. The urban roads are strictly regulated at 60 kph in the city and 90 kph on larger suburban roads. Motorways are restricted to 110 kph. Avoid spot fines by remaining on the side of caution and paying attention to road signs.

  • Where are the best places to park in Almaty?

    Parking in Almaty does not seem to be a problem, with a lot fewer car parks than in other cities and many free spaces being used as parking areas, perhaps even unofficially. Street parking seems open, with meters on select streets; as long as you have currency and can understand the signs, you should be fine. Alternatively, finding a hotel, apartment block, shopping centre or other public venue is a safe bet.
