Avis

If you're arriving into Moscow Sheremetjevo Airport, why not start your holiday in style by jumping into an Avis car right at the airport. They're open from nine in the morning, right through to eleven in the evening, seven days a week. The city’s two smaller airports also have offices in their arrival halls (Vnukovo tel: 00 7 (495)6841958; Domodedovo tel: 00 7 (495)6841937). And if you’re already in town you can drop by their office at Meschanskaya Str 7, Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, to sort yourself out some wheels. Avis have got a great fleet of cars ready to drive away including the Renault 1.4 and Clio and Opel Astra. To book online click here, or to find out more just go to the site, click ‘Display Rental Agreement’ and hit ‘Ask Avis’. Avis’ English language website should be able to answer all your queries and if it can’t, you can contact them directly.

And once you’re all buckled up and raring to go, Moscow and its surroundings are yours to discover. With your set of wheels you can head south of the city to Gorky Park a Soviet built theme park from the 1930s. In the summer months the park is bustling with rides and funfairs and in winter the lake turns into a giant ice-skating rink. A giant ferris wheel keeps turning all year round.

Excellent. Good to have a solid company like Avis waiting for you in Moscow.
