Car rental in Odesa

Car rental in Odesa, Ukraine

Need a car in Odesa — for business, a weekend away or a trip to the seaside? Rent one from NarsCars and travel at your own pace, free from timetables. We have been operating since 2016, with a fleet of 180+ cars, none more than 5 years old. You sign the contract on your smartphone, and booking online on the website is 10% cheaper.

Where to pick up the car and how delivery works

Cars are handed over and returned daily from 9:00 to 18:00 at the NarsCars office at 59 Rishelievska St (Chorne More hotel); from 18:00 to 9:00 by arrangement, €45. At the office the customer receives the car, the keys and a condition report. You can also pick up and return the car at the Central Railway Station (2 Pryvokzalna Sq). Paid delivery to an address in Odesa and the region is available, as well as delivery to Chornomorsk, Zatoka, Izmail, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi and Mykolaiv. If you plan to leave the car in another city, this can be arranged with the One Way service.

Rental options

NarsCars offers several options to suit your route, term and whether you need a driver.

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 Odesa is available from one day, 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 along the coast 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 trips with a flexible schedule: trips to the coast at Zatoka or Chornomorsk, business trips to Mykolaiv or Izmail, or a replacement while your own car is being repaired or serviced.

Daily hire

Daily hire is designed for short trips when you need a car for a specific purpose without long-term commitments. It covers weekend trips, two-day business trips and holiday journeys. Daily car hire in Odesa is calculated as a fixed 24-hour period from the moment the keys are handed over to the customer. The period starts when the handover report is signed and ends at the same time the next calendar day. 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 must be agreed with the manager at least one day before the contract ends. Per-minute hire is not available.

Monthly and long-term car rental in Odesa

Monthly car rental in Odesa from €750 for 30 days: economy cars cost from €25 per day for rentals of 26 days or more.

Long-term car hire in Odesa 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 costs €37 per day for 1–3 days and €25 from 26 days; a Toyota Camry 2024 costs €62 and €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. We also work with humanitarian missions, charitable foundations and NGOs — see Car rental for business.

The key advantage of this option is a replacement car. When your car goes in for diagnostics, repairs or a seasonal tyre change, you get a car of the same class. More details are on the Long-term rental page.

With a driver

Car hire with a driver in Odesa is available to both private customers and companies. It is chosen for business meetings with travel between locations, accompanying guests or transferring a working group between points along a route. The car is driven by a professional driver who knows the city.

The minimum term is one day, with no maximum. The price is calculated individually for each request and depends on the car class, the number of days and the route. Trips with a driver are made only within Ukraine. The service can be booked as a one-off trip or as a long-term contract with a dedicated driver for the whole term. More details are on the Car hire with a driver in Odesa page.

Rental terms

A rental contract at the NarsCars Odesa office takes 10–15 minutes — in person 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 — 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 are handed over and returned at the NarsCars Odesa office at 59 Rishelievska St (Chorne More hotel) daily from 9:00 to 18:00. The customer receives the keys, a full tank and a handover report recording the car's condition. Car hire in Odesa is also available with delivery to a city address — a hotel, business centre or office — and to the Central Railway Station. Handover and return between 18:00 and 9:00 are by arrangement, €45. Cars are also delivered to Chornomorsk, Zatoka, Izmail, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi and Mykolaiv — the price depends on the distance. Returning the car in another city is arranged with the One Way option.

Rent a car in Odesa: daily hire, no deposit, minibuses

If you are looking for car sharing in Odesa, NarsCars daily hire is a simple alternative: book online in a few minutes, rent from one day and pay only for the days you have the car. Daily car hire suits trips to the coast, errands in the city or meeting guests at the station. 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.

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, premium and electric cars are also available. Car rental prices in Odesa 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, is handed over at the NarsCars office in Odesa, 59 Rishelievska St, and, as with other classes, the daily rate falls the longer you rent.

Car rental prices

In Odesa the rental price depends on the car class and the length of the contract — each longer rate period lowers the daily rate: the 4–9 day rate is lower than the 1–3 day rate, a further discount applies from 10 days, and from 26 days the daily price is at its lowest. For example, an MG ZS or Suzuki Vitara costs €37 per day for 1–3 days and €25 from 26 days; the 9-seat Hyundai Staria minivan costs €110 and €65. Booking online on the website gives a 10% discount.

Driving tips for Odesa

Central Odesa has many one-way streets and limited parking, so plan your route and where to park in advance. Older streets have cobblestones and tram tracks — slow down before the rails in the rain.

On summer weekends the roads to the beaches and the motorway to Zatoka are busy — set off early in the morning. Peak traffic in the city is at 8:00–10:00 and 17:00–19:00. When driving, follow the rules that apply under martial law, including the curfew.

Why choose NarsCars

The company has been in the car rental market for over 10 years and regularly renews its fleet — all cars are no more than 5 years old, and customers have left over 1,300 Google reviews with an average rating of 4.9. Booking on the website lowers the daily rate by 10% for all car classes. Our call centre is available daily from 9:00 to 19:00 by phone and chat. If the car breaks down through no fault of the driver, the customer gets a replacement car of the same class.

NarsCars works with companies and international and non-governmental organisations: bank transfer with VAT, a full set of closing documents and a bilingual contract in Ukrainian and English. Terms are on the Car rental for business page.

In addition to the basic contract, the company offers extra options. Child seats of groups 0+/1/2/3 are designed for children weighing 0 to 36 kg and meet the ECE R44/04 standard, so parents don't need to bring their own. For long motorway trips you can add a second driver with the Additional Driver option.
