How to rent a car at Koltsovo (SVX) — Ekaterinburg

Quick summary: 5 steps and you're driving. Book at ekaterinburgrentacar.ru/en → select airport pickup (Koltsovo) and «No deposit» tier → email your documents (passport+visa+IDP+home license) → English-speaking manager meets you at arrivals during 08:00–20:00 → 10 minutes of paperwork and you're on the road.
🌍 Foreign tourist checklist: Bring (1) your home country driver license, (2) International Driving Permit issued under the 1968 Vienna Convention (not 1949 Geneva), (3) your passport with valid Russian visa or migration card. Russia recognises the 1968 IDP from AAA (USA), AA (UK), CAA (Canada), and most national automobile associations.
Step 1

Book online (English interface)

Go to ekaterinburgrentacar.ru/en. In the booking form, select your dates and arrival time at Koltsovo (SVX). Pick a vehicle class — economy / comfort / crossover / business. Live fleet on /en/avtopark, live prices on /en/prices (refreshed hourly).

Step 2

Choose airport pickup and tier options

Select «Airport delivery» as the pickup location for Koltsovo. Free for rentals of 3 days or more. For no card hold, select the «No deposit» tier — this includes extended CASCO insurance and doesn't place a hold on your card.

Step 3

Send your documents by email

Email scans of: (a) your passport with Russian visa or migration card; (b) your International Driving Permit (1968 Vienna Convention); (c) your home country driver license. The manager prepares your contract while you fly — this saves about 20 minutes at pickup. Send to rent@ekaterinburgrentacar.ru.

Step 4

Meet manager at arrivals

After collecting your luggage, our English-speaking manager meets you in the arrivals area at Koltsovo. Service available 08:00–20:00. Look for our brand sign with your name. The manager guides you to the car parked nearby.

Step 5

Inspect car and sign contract

Together with the manager, visually inspect the body and interior, confirm fuel level, and sign the rental contract and handover document. Process takes 10 minutes if documents were sent in advance. After this — you're free to drive.
