Rental cars in Uzbekistan are commonly based in Tashkent, with two pickup options. The first is Tashkent International Airport (TAS), a convenient pickup point for a trip that starts straight off a flight. For anyone already in Tashkent or arriving by train, several car rental locations are available in the city centre. These are the main popular destinations to consider when looking for car rentals in Uzbekistan.
For driving around Tashkent and local city centres, a compact car or an economy car is a practical choice. Tashkent has wide boulevards, but parking in historic areas can be tight. For short stays, business trips, or airport transfers, a small rental car is easier to park and can cost less.
For Silk Road trips to Samarkand and Bukhara, choose a comfort sedan or medium large SUV. Roads away from the main highway can be rougher, with potholes and faded markings.
Winter trips to the Tian Shan or Fan Mountains mean icy, unpredictable roads. Higher ground clearance is useful here.
EVs like BYD and Li Auto are popular rental car options for city driving in Uzbekistan. But if you plan a long trip to Samarkand or Bukhara, check where you can charge the car before you go.
Uzbekistan drives on the right, and there are no toll roads anywhere in the country — one cost you genuinely don't have to plan around. Speed limits step down fast between zones — around 60 km/h in built-up areas, up to around 100 km/h on the open road — check the posted signs rather than assuming a fixed number. Speed cameras cover the highways, and a violation is billed after the fact through the rental supplier.
The drink-driving limit is zero.
Most car rentals do not allow taking a car across international borders, so always check the terms for the car rental deal. Checkpoints are a normal part of intercity driving, so keep your documents on you rather than packed away.
Documents. Tourists need a passport, a valid visa or visa-free entry confirmation, a home-country driving licence, and an International Driving Permit. Residents need a national ID card or residence permit and a valid Uzbek driving licence to hire a car.
Payment. A credit card in the driver's own name is the standard requirement for the security deposit — prepaid, virtual, and most debit cards aren't accepted. Higher-tier listings can ask for two personal credit cards from different providers, so check this before booking one specifically.
Fuel. Return policy commonly runs full-to-full — collect on a full tank, return on a full tank, or pay a refuelling charge.
Mileage. Unlimited mileage is a common inclusion, though it's shown per listing rather than guaranteed platform-wide.
Driver Requirements
There's no single number — it depends on the supplier's terms and the car category. More affordable car models usually start from age 21, and luxury car offers may require you to be 24 or 25, especially premium or 4WD categories. Check the specific age requirement for your chosen offer.
Yes, bring the 1968 Vienna-type IDP alongside your home-country driving licence. Both need to be carried together, not just presented at pickup; a checkpoint on an intercity route can ask for either one.
General Information
Yes, that's a popular trip in Uzbekistan, so it's fully within what the rental fleet is set up for. The car choice matters more on side roads and rougher routes.
Yes, if the trip stays mostly around Tashkent — filter for the EV category directly on Renty's search to see what electric vehicles are available for your dates. For longer trips, check charging options along the route separately.
Pricing and Booking
Yes, for the security deposit — a major credit card with chip and PIN, in the driver's own name, is the standard requirement. Payment options can vary by offer, so check the specific listing's terms if you're planning to use a prepaid, virtual, or debit card.
Residents need a national ID card or residence permit and a valid Uzbek driving licence — the passport, visa, and International Driving Permit requirements are specifically for tourists renting from abroad.
Rental Procedures
No. If a trip needs to cross into a neighbouring country, that has to be arranged separately from this rental rather than added onto it.
Not always. Listings commonly show the same pickup and drop-off location. Check the specific listing if you need to return the car somewhere else.
