Car rental gives you many advantages in comparison to a package tour: you can drive along the beautiful coastline of the Black Sea and enjoy views of majestic cliffs and ancient buildings; explore mountain hills for hiking, do fishing at the lakes and rafting down the rivers; tour around visiting churches, castle ruins and other cultural sights. Whatever kind of trip you choose, you’ll make the most of it with your own vehicle being in charge of your time and preferences.

Before beginning your journey, make sure to familiarize yourself with the local laws and customs. Please inform yourself of the complete traffic rules and regulations for driving in Ukraine. Here are just a few things to keep in mind:
- The speed limit in the cities and villages is about 31 mp/h (50 km/h).
- EU cross-border insurance does not work in Ukraine but you can buy a valid one at the border or a car rent office.
