How the Tiggo differs from the Arrizo: crossover or sedan

Four of the five models are Tiggo crossovers in the SUV class, and only the Arrizo 8 is a sedan in the Comfort class. The Tiggo crossovers have higher ground clearance, a more upright seating position, and a tailgate that opens like a door rather than a lid. The Arrizo 8 sedan is lower, lighter, and feels more composed on the highway: at 110–130 km/h on the Almaty — Kapchagay highway it is more stable and quieter. In Almaty a crossover wins not in snow but on curbs and speed bumps: the Tiggo's ground clearance forgives what a sedan scrapes its bumper on. In our experience, the Arrizo 8 is more often taken for intercity trips and business meetings, while the Tiggo is taken for family outings and routes to the mountains.

All models with automatic transmission — what that means in practice

All 5 Chery models at Rent-Trip come with an automatic transmission — no need to look for a manual. The Tiggo and Arrizo line-up uses a classic torque-converter automatic rather than a dual-clutch robot: it pulls away more smoothly in traffic on Al-Farabi and doesn't jerk at low speed in courtyards. On the winding road to Medeu the automatic is more convenient than a manual: you don't need to work the clutch on a climb, and in traffic on Al-Farabi your left foot rests. For novice drivers this noticeably reduces fatigue: over a day of city driving with climbs to Medeu and BAO, the driver makes fewer mistakes when starting on a hill.

Chery rental prices and what's included in the rate

Chery prices at Rent-Trip — from 22,000 ₸/day for the Tiggo 2 Pro to 42,990 ₸/day for the Tiggo 9. The rate includes up to 200 km per day, the contract and insurance.

Prices for all 5 Chery models — table

What's included in the rate: mileage, insurance, contract

• Mileage up to 200 km per day: included in the base rate; beyond the limit there is a per-kilometre surcharge, the amount is specified in the contract.
• Insurance: is issued for the car for the entire rental period, no need to buy it separately.
• Contract: is signed at handover; it records the dates, the model with its year, and the deposit terms.
• 24/7 technical support: if the car breaks down on the route, call us on WhatsApp — the dispatcher will sort it out.
• City delivery: we bring the car to an agreed location in Almaty, the time is fixed in advance.

200 km per day covers Almaty + Medeu + Shymbulak with room to spare; for Kolsai or Charyn you will have to exceed the limit, so it's better to plan the route in advance and check the per-kilometre surcharge in the contract.

Discount for a week or more and how to find out the exact amount

For a week or more the price is lower than the daily rate — Rent-Trip gives the exact amount on WhatsApp after confirming the dates and model. When renting for 7+ days it's better to fix the return dates right away: moving them a day forward is usually cheaper than extending on the last day at the daily rate. You can pay via Kaspi, Halyk or in cash at handover. In high season — from December to February, when crossovers are snapped up for trips to Shymbulak — book in advance: the closer the date, the less choice of trim levels. Our manager on WhatsApp confirms the availability of a specific model with its year and sends the total amount for the whole period.

Deposit, documents and booking

The deposit depends on the class: 50,000 ₸ for Comfort and 100,000 ₸ for SUV. It is refunded within 1–3 business days after the car is returned without damage or fines.

Deposit amount by Chery class

• Chery Arrizo 8 2024 (Comfort): deposit 50,000 ₸ — the same as for any sedan in this class.
• Chery Tiggo 2 Pro 2023 (SUV): deposit 100,000 ₸.
• Chery Tiggo 7 Pro 2024 (SUV): deposit 100,000 ₸.
• Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2023 (SUV): deposit 100,000 ₸.
• Chery Tiggo 9 2024 (SUV): deposit 100,000 ₸ — the class rate, it doesn't depend on the size of the car.

The deposit is not a rental fee, but insurance against 'Sergek' fines and damage: if fines arrive after the car is returned, the amount is deducted from the deposit rather than charged separately to the card.

How to get the deposit back and what the timeframe depends on

The deposit is returned within 1–3 business days after the car is returned without damage or fines. The timeframe counts from the moment the handover-acceptance act is signed, not from the call: if you return the car on Friday evening, the count starts on Monday. The refund is made by the same method you paid: to Kaspi, Halyk, or in cash at the office. Before returning the car, it's worth photographing the body and interior — this eliminates disputes over scratches. 'Sergek' fines arrive within a few days after the violation, so we hold the deposit until the check is complete: if there are no fines, we return the full amount without deductions.

Documents, payment and rental extension

Rent-Trip accepts payment via Kaspi, Halyk or cash, and you can extend the rental remotely — without visiting the office. To arrange it, you need an ID card or passport, a category B driver's license with at least one year of experience, and a contact number for WhatsApp. The contract is drawn up upon handover, and insurance is already included in the rate. Remote extension is convenient during high season: in December–January, crossovers to Shymbulak are booked up in advance, and it's easier to keep the car with a single message than to look for a free one on the day of departure. Extend at least one day before the end of the term — that way we guarantee the same car, not a replacement from the available fleet.

Chery in the mountains and on long-distance routes around Almaty

Tiggo crossovers with ground clearance and automatic transmission confidently handle the routes to Medeu, Shymbulak and BAO, while on long routes — to Kolsai and Charyn — mileage reserve and brake condition matter more.

Mountain routes: Medeu, Shymbulak, BAO

• Medeu and Shymbulak: climbing the serpentine, the Tiggo's automatic holds the gear without jerking, and the ground clearance handles the speed bumps by the cable car.
• BAO (Big Almaty Lake): a road with elevation gain, the crossover is more confident than a sedan on the climb with passengers.
• Kok-Tobe and Allee: short city trips, any model works, including the Arrizo 8.
• Kapchagay: highway, where the Arrizo 8 sedan is more economical and quieter than a crossover at speed.
• Kolsai and Charyn: a long route where the 200 km per day limit will have to be exceeded — ask about the surcharge in advance.

Ground clearance, brakes and behavior on the serpentine

On the serpentine to Medeu and Shymbulak, the Tiggo crossovers behave predictably: the automatic doesn't overheat on a long climb, and the ventilated-disc brakes hold on the descent. The ground clearance of the Tiggo 2 Pro and Tiggo 7 Pro lets you park on the shoulders of mountain roads, where a sedan scrapes its underbody protection. In winter, on the climb to Shymbulak, tire condition matters more than drivetrain: we provide cars on seasonal tires and check the tread before every trip to the mountains. In summer, at temperatures above 35°C, watch the engine temperature on a long climb — this is a general rule for any turbo engine, not a Chery-specific issue.

Reliability and operation of Chery in rental service

The Chery cars in the Rent-Trip fleet undergo scheduled maintenance every 10,000 km, and with 200–300 km per day of use, this provides stable longevity without downtime.

Longevity and maintenance of the Tiggo and Arrizo models

The 1.5 and 1.6 turbo engines on the Tiggo and Arrizo are designed for city driving with frequent starts, and the classic Chery automatic handles traffic jams on Al-Farabi better than dual-clutch gearboxes. In our experience, the Tiggo 2 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro Max show smooth operation without complaints when oil and filters are changed on time. The newer Tiggo 7 Pro 2024 and Tiggo 9 2024 are under warranty, so any electronics issues are resolved through the service center, not at the renter's expense. We check every car before handover using a checklist: brakes, tires, fluid levels, operation of cameras and air conditioning.

What we check before handover and why it matters for the renter

Before handover, we check the brake pads, tire pressure, oil and coolant levels, and the operation of the air conditioning and cameras. For mountain routes, we look at the tread separately: on the winter climb to Medeu, worn tires are more dangerous than any drivetrain. Inside, we record the condition of the upholstery and photograph the body — this protects both the renter and us at return. If the car is going on a long route to Kolsai, we check the spare tire and jack. This checklist takes 15–20 minutes, but it eliminates most disputes at return.

Handover, car condition and support on the road

We deliver the car to an agreed location in Almaty or hand it over at the office, and on the route the renter stays in touch with the dispatcher on WhatsApp around the clock.

How handover works and what is signed

• Delivery: we bring the car to an address in Almaty at the agreed time or hand it over at the office.
• Inspection: we walk around the body together and record scratches and chips in the handover report.
• Contract: we sign with dates, model and year, and the deposit amount by class.
• Briefing: we show you how to use the automatic transmission, cameras, and climate settings.
• Keys and documents: we hand over the keys, vehicle registration certificate and insurance, and explain what to do in case of an accident.

24/7 support on the road

If the car breaks down on the route, call or message us on WhatsApp — the Rent-Trip dispatcher is available around the clock. For a minor fault, we'll advise you on what to do on the spot; for a serious one, we'll arrange a tow truck and a replacement car. In our experience, the most common calls are about a punctured tyre on mountain roads and a dead battery in winter: the first is solved with a spare tyre, the second by jump-starting from another car. Keep the dispatcher's number in your phone and don't try to repair the car yourself — this is stipulated in the contract and affects the deposit refund.

Which Chery model to choose for your needs

The choice of model depends on the route and the number of passengers: for the city and two people, a Tiggo 2 Pro is enough; for a family and the mountains — a Tiggo 8 Pro Max or Tiggo 9; for the highway — an Arrizo 8.

Scenario — model

What to consider when choosing: passengers, luggage, route

For two people on city trips, a Tiggo 2 Pro is enough: parking in the centre is easier, fuel consumption is lower. If you're travelling with five people or with children, take a Tiggo 8 Pro Max — the third row folds down for luggage. On the highway to Kapchagay or towards Taraz, an Arrizo 8 is more comfortable: a sedan is quieter and more economical than a crossover at speed. For the mountains and dirt sections towards BAO, choose a Tiggo 7 Pro or Tiggo 9 — they have higher ground clearance and a more powerful engine. If your route is longer than 200 km per day, check the per-kilometre surcharge on WhatsApp in advance — that way the final amount won't come as a surprise.

Conclusion

Five Chery models cover almost all rental scenarios in Almaty: from the budget Tiggo 2 Pro at 22,000 ₸/day to the flagship Tiggo 9. Tiggo crossovers are chosen for the mountains and family trips, the Arrizo 8 sedan for the highway and business trips, all with automatic transmission and in the SUV and Comfort classes. Before booking, decide on your route and the number of passengers, name the model exactly as in the list — with the year — and specify the dates: for a week or more the price is lower, and the exact amount will be confirmed on WhatsApp.
