About Renting a Car in Russia
Renting a car in Russia opens up itineraries impossible by public transport. From Moscow, drive the historic Golden Ring to visit medieval monasteries and kremlin towns like Vladimir and Suzdal. The road network radiating from Moscow is excellent, and distances to classic destinations are manageable for a weekend trip. Fuel is inexpensive, roads are well-maintained, and the scenery changes from urban skyline to birch forest within an hour of the city.
