Car rental in Zaporizhzhia

Car rental in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine

Zaporizhzhia (also spelled Zaporozhye or Zaporizhia) is a major industrial and business centre on the Dnipro River, home to Khortytsia Island. People come here on business, for work assignments and to visit family, and the distances between districts on both banks are easier to cover by car. Car hire in Zaporizhzhia is provided by NarsCars — a rental company with more than 10 years on the market, since 2016, and a fleet of over 180 cars, all no more than 5 years old. You can book online on the website in a few minutes — that makes the rental 10% cheaper.

Where to pick up the car and how delivery works

NarsCars brings cars for Zaporizhzhia from its Dnipro office, so rentals here start from 6 days and require advance booking — at least one day ahead, ideally 2–3 days. The car is usually delivered to the customer's address — home, hotel or office. Delivery from Dnipro is free for rentals of 6 days or more. There is also a NarsCars pickup point at 147 Sobornyi Ave, where the car can be collected and returned at a time agreed with a manager. The customer receives the car, the keys and a handover report recording its condition. The car can be returned in Zaporizhzhia or at the NarsCars office in Dnipro, 20 Liubarskoho Ln, Vavylon shopping centre; returning it in another city is arranged with the One Way option.

Rental options

NarsCars offers several options to suit your route and rental term.

Self-drive

Self-drive is the basic rental format. The customer chooses a model in the catalogue and uses the car for the whole term of the contract. You may drive within government-controlled territory of Ukraine; you may not enter combat zones, temporarily occupied territories or come within 50 km of them — this is a condition of the rental contract. Self-drive car hire in Zaporizhzhia is available from 6 days, with no maximum term. The mileage limit is 300 km per day and up to 4,500 km per month — extra kilometres are charged separately, and for long routes around the region or between cities you can add the Unlimited Mileage option. The car is handed over with a full tank, a clean interior and an inspection report recording the condition of the body at handover. It is returned in the same condition at the time set in the contract.

This option suits longer trips: work projects and business trips, regular drives to Dnipro, multi-day routes around the country, or a replacement while your own car is being repaired or serviced.

Rentals from 6 days

The minimum rental in Zaporizhzhia is 6 days: the car is brought from Dnipro for a specific booking, so short one- or two-day hire is not available here. A day is counted as 24 hours from the moment the keys are handed over. Running a little late? The first 2 hours after the agreed return time are free. If you need longer — for example, because of an air raid alert — just call your manager and we will extend the rental by another day at your rate. Extensions are agreed with a manager at least one day before the contract ends. If you need a car for several weeks or months, it is better value to book long-term rental straight away.

Long-term and monthly hire

Long-term car hire in Zaporizhzhia starts from 1 month, and the best terms apply to rentals of 3 months or more. This option is designed for work projects lasting several months, replacing your own car during major repairs, and corporate needs without running a company fleet. The longer the term, the lower the daily rate: for example, an MG ZS or Suzuki Vitara from €25 per day for rentals of 26 days or more, and a Toyota Camry 2024 from €45. Payment is monthly. Mileage is up to 4,500 km per month, and the limit can be removed with the Unlimited Mileage option. CASCO and compulsory motor third-party liability insurance remain the company's responsibility for the whole period, as does scheduled servicing every 10,000 km.

The key advantage of this option is a replacement car. During a lengthy repair, you get a car of the same class. More details are on the Long-term rental page.

Rental terms

A NarsCars rental contract takes 10–15 minutes — at the car handover in Zaporizhzhia or remotely via the Diia app. The rules rest on three basic conditions: confirming the driver's identity, choosing the deposit option and keeping within the mileage limits for the term of the contract.

Driver requirements

The car can be driven by a customer aged 21 or over with at least 2 years of driving experience. The set of documents is minimal and depends on citizenship.

Ukrainian citizens provide:

• a passport or ID card;
• a category B driving licence;
• a tax ID number.

Foreign nationals provide a national passport and an international driving permit, or a national licence with the name in Latin letters.

Deposit and protection against financial risks

As standard, a deposit is blocked on the customer's bank card — no money is charged, and the amount is released after the car is returned undamaged. The deposit depends on the car class — from €400.

Car hire with no deposit is available with the Full Protection package. Instead of a large deposit, only a refundable guarantee deposit of €100 (€1,000 for the premium class) is blocked; it covers traffic fines and other compensation under the contract. If there are no violations, the deposit is released on the day the car is returned with a full tank.

The company offers two options:

• Full Protection — subject to the rental agreement terms, zero financial liability for body damage, accidents, theft, wheels and glass, plus car wash and war-risk cover;
• without Full Protection — a deposit is blocked on your card, and in the event of an accident or damage to the car it is withheld as a penalty under the rental contract.

Mileage, insurance and travel abroad

The mileage limit is 300 km per day and no more than 4,500 km per month. Extra kilometres are charged per km at the class rate, and for long trips you can add the Unlimited Mileage option, which removes the limits for the whole term.

In the event of an accident, the driver calls the police on 112, informs the insurer and notifies NarsCars before any repairs are carried out. If the incident is not recorded, liability is determined by the terms of the rental contract.

Travel to EU countries and Moldova is arranged with the Travel Abroad option — with the car returned to Ukraine only. Agree any trip abroad with the manager when booking.

Pick-up and delivery

Cars for Zaporizhzhia are sent from the NarsCars office in Dnipro (20 Liubarskoho Ln, Vavylon shopping centre) by advance booking — at least one day ahead, ideally 2–3 days — for rentals from 6 days. The car is delivered to the customer's address in Zaporizhzhia — home, hotel, business centre or office — or handed over at the NarsCars pickup point at 147 Sobornyi Ave. Delivery from Dnipro is free for such rentals. The customer receives the keys, a full tank and a handover report recording the car's condition. The car can be returned in Zaporizhzhia or at the Dnipro office; returning it in another city is arranged with the One Way option.

Rent a car in Zaporizhzhia for a week or longer: delivery, no deposit, minibuses

If you are looking for car sharing in Zaporizhzhia, NarsCars car hire with delivery is a simple alternative: book online in a few minutes and the car is brought from Dnipro to your address. The minimum rental is 6 days, so it suits business trips, work projects, longer journeys and a replacement for your own car. Car rental with no deposit is available with Full Protection, and self-drive is the standard option — you drive the car yourself for the whole term. NarsCars does not rent cars for taxi work.

For families and groups there are minibuses and vans — Peugeot Traveller, Citroen SpaceTourer, Fiat Scudo and the 9-seat Hyundai Staria; for trips out of town there are SUVs and crossovers, and business and premium cars are also available. Car rental prices in Zaporizhzhia depend on the class and the term: the longer you rent, the cheaper each day, and booking online gives an extra 10% discount.

Minivan, van and minibus hire without a driver

For a move, a group trip or a work crew you can rent a van or minibus without a driver — Peugeot Traveller, Citroen SpaceTourer, Fiat Scudo or the 9-seat Hyundai Staria. It can be driven on a category B licence. For Zaporizhzhia it is brought from Dnipro by advance booking for rentals from 6 days, and, as with other classes, the daily rate falls the longer you rent.

Car rental prices

Car rental prices in Zaporizhzhia depend on the car class and the term: from 10 days an extra discount applies, and from 26 days the daily rate is at its lowest — for example, an MG ZS or Suzuki Vitara from €25 a day and the 9-seat Hyundai Staria minivan from €65. Booking online on the website gives a 10% discount.

Driving tips for Zaporizhzhia

Zaporizhzhia stretches along the Dnipro, and its main road is Sobornyi Avenue, about 10 km long. At rush hours, 8:00–10:00 and 17:00–19:00, it and the approaches to the bridges get congested, so plan your route in advance.

When driving, follow the rules that apply under martial law, including the curfew, and check your route in advance: some roads in the region are closed to civilian traffic.
