A week of touring uses about 55 to 65 AZN in a small car.

A month costs far less per day than seven separate days.
The minimum rental is two days in every class.
Our monthly page shows the shape of it.

- Full insurance. Optional, with a 300 to 500 EUR excess.
- Fines. Camera fines can arrive after you fly home.

One question comes up more than any other about the price.
People ask why the same class differs by 20 USD a day.
The answer is the year of the car, not a hidden charge.
A 2018 Cerato and a 2026 Corolla sit in the same class.
