Good to know
Check each company's age requirements before booking your rental in Ukraine. Rules can vary, and added costs or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, just uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to browse your options.
Add a car seat to your Lviv car hire reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules vary from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest option.
You'll likely be asked for these three things when collecting your rental car: a current driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds to pay the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any extra must-haves will be shown in your booking.
Get familiar with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Ukraine.
Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.02% applies in Ukraine. The only sure way to stay legal to drive is to skip the drinks.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
