One rental for the whole country
Almost every trip around Azerbaijan starts in Baku: international flights land at Heydar Aliyev Airport (GYD), and the highways to the north, west and south all begin here. We bring the car to the airport or your hotel free of charge, and you return it in Baku when the trip ends.
The price includes CASCO and compulsory insurance for the whole territory of Azerbaijan, a second driver and a child seat. Driving outside the country is not allowed. The full list is in the rental terms.
How far 250 km a day takes you
Every rental includes 250 km a day, added up over the whole booking and not counted per calendar day. The minimum of 3 days gives you 750 km: enough for Baku–Gabala–Baku (about 450 km) with city driving on top, or a weekend in Guba and Shahdag with half a day in Gobustan.
Planning Sheki, Ganja or a full loop of the regions? Add a day, or send us the route before you book and we agree the mileage in advance.
Which car for which road
The highways to all the main destinations are paved, so in summer an economy sedan from 55 AZN a day is enough. For mountain side roads around Gabala and Shahdag, winter trips or a family with luggage, take an SUV or crossover from 100 AZN a day. Travelling as six or seven? See the 7-seater cars.
Would you rather not drive the mountain stretch yourself? A car with a driver takes you to any region at a fixed price.
