Yandex Drive: Carsharing
The app offers 16,000 cars for quick rental by the minute, hour, or day, and a dozen models for long-term rental from one month. You can rent cars in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Sochi, and 42 other regions for business use.
Why use carsharing?
To run errands, go to a bar, move items, drive to the countryside, or travel around the region. If you have your own business, our cars are handy for couriers, sales managers, and merchandisers. Vans can even transport electric scooters. The possibilities are endless.
What is the car subscription for?
It’s for having a car for a long period. It’s an extended rental from one month to a year, paid in installments. Insurance, maintenance, tire changes, and car delivery to your home are included. Choose between economy and business class cars, all without branding, so no one will suspect a thing.
How to register?
Everything is done in the app, no need to visit a location. You just need to be over 21 years old and have 2 years of driving experience. When you download the app, a bot will guide you through the registration process. You’ll send your document photos and personal details to the bot in a chat, and if everything is fine, you're ready to Drive.

It includes mandatory third-party liability (OSAGO), driver and passenger life insurance up to 2,000,000 ₽, and comprehensive insurance (CASCO) with a deductible for at-fault drivers. You won’t pay more than 40,000 ₽ for standard vehicles, 75,000 ₽ for premium ones, or 150,000 ₽ for SUVs.
