Default Renting a car in Moscow for a business trip

I知 flying to Moscow next month for a work trip and thinking about using a Moscow car rent service instead of taxis. I値l need the car for about five days and mostly drive between meetings in different districts. Has anyone rented a car there recently? I知 mainly worried about traffic, parking rules, and whether the process is smooth for foreigners with an international license.

I rented last autumn during a business visit. The paperwork was actually simple, and my international license worked fine. Traffic can be heavy during rush hours, so plan extra time for meetings. Parking apps helped a lot because street parking rules change depending on the area and time of day.

I used a rental service there for a full week while visiting friends and attending a conference. Overall it was convenient, especially compared to constantly ordering taxis in bad weather. Just make sure you check the insurance details carefully before signing anything. City roads are generally good, but navigation is essential because some streets have complicated turns and restrictions. I’d also recommend taking photos of the car before driving away, including wheels and bumpers, to avoid misunderstandings later.
