Good to know
Age requirements for rentals vary by company and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Belarus may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
If you're going away with the kids, check if you need to add a car seat to your Minsk car hire reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.
Bring the right documents and save time at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no copies) and another form of photo ID. Have a credit card ready for the deposit too. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.
Driving in Belarus may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.
Local speed limits may vary, but it's typically around 55kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always check the posted signs.
Leave the car parked if your plans involve alcohol. Belarus has a zero-tolerance policy on drinking and driving, and fines may apply if you break the rules.
Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
