Need a van for moving, construction, or a trip to the mountains? At Rent-Trip you can rent a Mercedes-Benz Vito from 24,000 KZT/day — with transparent terms, no hidden fees or middlemen.
How much does van rental cost in Almaty: rates and calculations
Let's break down current van rental prices — from daily rate to total cost including deposit and add-ons. Prices are fixed, no hidden fees.
Base rental cost of Mercedes-Benz Vito at Rent-Trip
Renting a Mercedes-Benz Vito at Rent-Trip — from 24,000 KZT/day, which includes basic insurance and car preparation. Unlike aggregators where the price increases due to commission, we offer direct rental: you pay for the car, not a middleman. The base rate includes washing, checking oil and antifreeze levels, and a full tank of diesel (you refill to the same level upon return). You can additionally order a child seat (2,000 KZT per trip) or GPS tracker (free). For rentals of 3+ days, a discount of up to 15% applies — more profitable than renting a van for one day.
Rate comparison: day, weekend, week
We offer three main rates: 1 day — 24,000 KZT, weekend (Fri–Sun) — 60,000 KZT, week — from 140,000 KZT. For moving or renovation, the weekly rate is optimal — saving up to 30% compared to daily rental.
| Period | Price | Savings | For Which Tasks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day | 24 000 ₸ | — | Move furniture, trip to dacha |
| Weekend (Fri–Sun) | 60 000 ₸ | 17% | Trip to the mountains, Charyn Canyon |
| Week (7 days) | 140 000 ₸ | 30% | Moving, renovation, construction |
Additional costs: deposit, delivery, Kaspi/Halyk
Deposit for Mercedes-Benz Vito — 50,000 KZT, fully refunded upon returning the van without damage; payment via Kaspi or Halyk. We accept cash, card-to-card transfer, or blocking the amount on Kaspi Gold — convenient if you don't have cash on hand. Delivery of the van to the airport is free for rentals of 2+ days, otherwise 3,000 KZT. Within the city (up to 10 km from the center), delivery is free for any rental duration. Before departure, check the AdBlue level — its replacement is paid separately if the sensor shows an empty tank.
What documents are needed for van rental: full list
To rent a van, you need a minimum of documents. We'll tell you exactly what and why that's enough.
What license do you need: category B for Mercedes-Benz Vito
To drive a Mercedes-Benz Vito, a category B license is sufficient — it's a standard minivan that doesn't require category C. The Vito's gross weight is up to 3.5 tons, so it falls under category B. Many mistakenly think a van requires a C license — in fact, the Vito weighs up to 3.5 tons, so it qualifies for B. If you only have A or A1, rental is not possible — check your category in advance to avoid wasting time.
Full package of documents for registration
To rent a van at Rent-Trip, you need: an ID card, a category B driver's license, and a deposit of 50,000 ₸. We process the rental agreement in 10 minutes — all documents are prepared in advance, you just sign. For foreigners with a residence permit in Kazakhstan, the same set applies, no additional certificates needed.
- Identity card: passport or ID card of a citizen of Kazakhstan
- Driver's license: category B, not expired
- Deposit: 50,000 ₸ in cash or a hold on a Kaspi/Halyk card
- Rental agreement: signed upon pickup, all terms specified
Can you rent a van without a deposit?
Renting a van without a deposit at Rent-Trip is not possible — this is standard practice for all rental companies, ensuring the vehicle's safety. We don't take a deposit 'just in case' — it's coverage in case of an accident caused by you. The deposit is fully refunded on the day of return if there are no new damages — we photograph the van at pickup and return. If there are damages, the repair cost is deducted from the deposit based on service receipts — no 'eyeball' estimates.
Which van to choose: Mercedes-Benz Vito for moving, dacha, and trips
Mercedes-Benz Vito is a versatile van for any task. Let's break down which scenarios it suits and how it differs from other options.
Mercedes-Benz Vito specifications: dimensions, capacity, fuel consumption
Mercedes-Benz Vito is a 5-seat minivan with a cargo area of 4.5 m³, fuel consumption 8–10 L/100 km, suitable for transporting furniture and 5 passengers. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Vito is easy to park downtown and passes through Sergek cameras without restrictions.
| Parameter | Value | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 5 seats + cargo | 2 rows of seats |
| Cargo volume | 4.5 m³ | Folded seats |
| Fuel consumption | 8–10 L/100 km | Diesel |
| Drive | Front | Confidence on snow |
| License category | B | Standard license |
For moving: how Vito handles furniture and boxes
For moving, the Mercedes-Benz Vito is the optimal choice: it fits a sofa, a wardrobe, 10 boxes, and a refrigerator. The folding second-row seats create a flat floor without a step — you can roll heavy appliances on wheels. We recommend booking the Vito for 2 days — the first day for loading and transport, the second for unloading and return. If the move is within one district (e.g., from Bostandyk to Medeu), one day may be enough, but given traffic on Al-Farabi Avenue, it's better to allow extra time.
For dacha and mountains: trips to Medeu, Shymbulak, Charyn Canyon
The Vito is great for trips to the dacha (BAO, Kargaly) and the mountains (Medeu, Shymbulak) — no all-wheel drive needed, front-wheel drive handles the serpentines up to Medeu. The diesel engine saves fuel on long distances: to Charyn Canyon (200 km) takes about 16–20 liters — roughly 3,200 ₸ at current diesel prices. The cabin seats 5 people with backpacks and skis, and you can mount a roof rack (built-in rails). For a trip to Lake Kolsai (300 km), take the Vito for 2 days — so you don't have to rush back before dark.
Rental terms: insurance, deposit, rental without driver
The rental terms for a van at Rent-Trip are transparent and standard for the market. Let's break down the key points of the contract.
Insurance: what the basic covers and how to extend
Basic insurance is included in the rental price — it covers accident damage with a deductible of 50,000 ₸ (you pay up to this amount, the rest is covered by insurance). Extended insurance (CASCO) reduces the deductible to 10,000 ₸ and costs an additional 3,000 ₸. We recommend taking CASCO if you plan a long trip — on the Almaty–Bishkek highway there is a higher risk of encountering a stone or pothole. Insurance does not apply if driving under the influence or when leaving Kazakhstan without written consent.
Deposit: amount, refund, force majeure
The deposit of 50,000 ₸ is a fixed amount for the Mercedes-Benz Vito, regardless of the rental period. It is refunded on the day of return after inspection: if there are no new scratches, dents, or stone chips, the full amount is returned. In case of damage, we deduct the actual repair cost — no more than the service receipt. If you are involved in an accident that is not your fault, the deposit is refunded after filing a European accident report and obtaining a police certificate.
Rental without a driver: who it suits and how it works
We rent the Vito only without a driver — you drive yourself. This is cheaper than ordering a van with a driver (such service costs from 10,000 ₸/hour). Mileage limit is 200 km/day, each extra kilometer costs 50 ₸. For a trip to Charyn Canyon (400 km round trip), budget an additional 10,000 ₸ for excess mileage. If you are going out of town, let us know — we will check the spare tire and provide a pump.
Where to rent a van in Almaty: Rent-Trip and its own fleet
Choosing a rental company is key. Here's why direct rental from Rent-Trip is more profitable than aggregators.
Rent-Trip: direct rental without intermediaries
Rent-Trip has its own fleet, it is not an aggregator. You book a specific car (Mercedes-Benz Vito) with a known VIN number, not a 'vehicle of this category'. We do not charge a commission — the price in the ad is the same as in the contract. All cars undergo maintenance every 10,000 km, condition can be checked at pickup. If you need a Vito for tomorrow, call before 6:00 PM — we will prepare and wash it by morning.
Why owning a fleet is more profitable than aggregators
Aggregators (Kolesa.kz, OLX) charge a commission of 10–20% on each transaction, and this markup is passed on to the renter. Rent-Trip has no intermediaries — you pay only for the rental. Plus, you have a single point of contact: if you get a flat tire, call us, not the aggregator's support. Last October, a client got a flat on the highway; we brought a spare tire within an hour — with an aggregator, you'd have to wait for a tow truck.
How to book: online, by phone, at the office
You can book a Vito in three ways: via Instagram Direct (we respond within 15 minutes), via WhatsApp (number on the Rent-Trip website), or in person at the office (near the Nurly Tau Business Center). To book, just provide the dates and leave a contact — no prepayment required. If plans change, cancel the booking 24 hours in advance without penalty. On weekends (Fri–Sun), book 2–3 days in advance — Vitos are snapped up for moves and dacha trips.
Conclusion
Renting a van is a solution for moving, construction, dacha, or mountain trips. The Mercedes-Benz Vito with a category B license, diesel engine, and 4.5 m³ cargo space covers 90% of household tasks. The main thing is to choose a direct rental with its own fleet to avoid hidden commissions and get a car in known condition.
Before booking, check three things: license validity, availability of the deposit (50,000 ₸), and the route (does it exceed 200 km/day without extra charge). If going out of town, clarify whether highway insurance is included. For a move, take at least 2 days — the first for loading, the second for unloading and return. And remember: a van without a driver is cheaper but requires caution at Sergek cameras and in city center parking lots.
