Hyundai rental in Almaty: 8 models from 6,500 ₸/day — prices, terms and routes
Rent-Trip rents Hyundai in Almaty without a deposit — 8 models from i20 (6,500 ₸/day) to Ioniq 9 (38,000 ₸/day). Own fleet, insurance included, airport delivery.
How much does Hyundai rental cost — prices for all models
Hyundai rental prices depend on class and duration. Let's break down the cost of each model at Rent-Trip — from economy to minivan, with rates for 1, 3 and 7 days.
Hyundai i20 rental cost — economy class from 6,500 ₸/day
Hyundai i20 at Rent-Trip costs from 6,500 ₸/day — the most affordable model for city trips, with automatic transmission and air conditioning. The car is maneuverable, easy to park in narrow central courtyards and drives on Abaya or Tole bi without issues. Fuel consumption is about 7-8 liters per 100 km in the city, which gives roughly 5,000 ₸ for gasoline with a weekly rental. For a three-day rental, the i20 price drops to 5,800 ₸/day — cheaper than a taxi to the airport and back.

- Hyundai Elantra (3 days): 11,200 ₸/day — save 3,900 ₸ compared to daily payment.

Which Hyundai model to choose — comparison by purpose
Rent-Trip rents 8 Hyundai models — from subcompact to minivan. We'll tell you which car suits the city, mountains, family, and business.
Hyundai i20 and Elantra — for the city and short trips
Hyundai i20 (6,500 ₸/day) — the best choice for one or two people around town, and Elantra (12,500 ₸/day) — for a couple with comfort. The i20 accelerates to 100 km/h in 11 seconds — enough for city traffic, but on the bypass it's better to stay in the right lane. The Elantra is more spacious: two adults can sit comfortably in the back, the trunk is 420 liters, enough for two suitcases. The i20 parks easily in the center and fits into narrow courtyards where a Tucson can't turn around.
Hyundai Tucson and Kona — for mountains and off-road
Hyundai Tucson (22,000 ₸/day) and Kona (18,000 ₸/day) are optimal models for trips to Medeu, Shymbulak, and Charyn Canyon. The Tucson with 180 mm ground clearance and all-wheel drive confidently handles dirt roads to the Big Almaty Lake, while the Kona with front-wheel drive is for paved serpentines to Shymbulak. Tucson's highway fuel consumption is 8-9 liters per 100 km; a trip to Charyn Canyon (200 km) will cost about 3,500 ₸ in gasoline. The Tucson with all-wheel drive confidently handles the serpentine to Shymbulak in winter — don't risk it with summer tires; all our cars are fitted with winter tires.
Hyundai Staria and Ioniq 9 — for family and groups up to 9 people
- Hyundai Staria (32,000 ₸/day): 9 seats with climate control — for airport transfer by a group or a trip to Kolsai with the whole family.
- Hyundai Ioniq 9 (38,000 ₸/day): electric minivan for 7 people with a range of 450 km — for eco-friendly trips with charging at local stations.
Staria is the only minivan in our fleet with 9 seats and full climate control, ideal for group airport transfers.
Documents and terms of Hyundai rental without a deposit
To rent a Hyundai from Rent-Trip, you need minimal documents and no deposit. We'll break down what is required from citizens of Kazakhstan and foreigners.
What documents are needed to rent a Hyundai
- Identity card: for citizens of Kazakhstan — an ID card (udostoverenie), for foreigners — a passport.
- Driver's license: national licenses of Kazakhstan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan — are accepted.
- Not needed: no certificate of employment, no Kaspi statements, no deposit — none of that is required.
If your license was issued in Kazakhstan, driving experience doesn't matter — we only check the document's validity period.
Hyundai rental for foreigners — passport and driver's license
Foreigners rent Hyundai from Rent-Trip using a Russian citizen's passport or a foreign passport plus a national driver's license. Citizens of CIS countries only need an internal passport — we accept documents in Cyrillic. For citizens of non-CIS countries — a foreign passport and a license in Latin script. If the license is not in Latin or Cyrillic, we recommend an International Driving Permit — it makes checks at checkpoints easier.
Rental terms — no deposit, full insurance
Rent-Trip does not charge a deposit — you only pay the Hyundai rental cost, and insurance is already included in the rate. This is our key difference from aggregators: you don't freeze 50,000–100,000 ₸ on your Kaspi or Halyk card. The contract specifies return conditions: full tank, clean interior, no damage. No deposit is our key difference from aggregators: you don't freeze 50,000–100,000 ₸ on your card.
Insurance and guarantees when renting a Hyundai
Insurance is the main concern when renting a car. Let's break down what the policy covers at Rent-Trip and how we handle accidents.
What insurance covers when renting a Hyundai at Rent-Trip
- Accident not your fault: full repair at our expense — you pay nothing.
- Accident caused by you: deductible (your share of costs) — from 30,000 ₸ for i20 to 80,000 ₸ for Staria.
- Theft: covered by insurance — you are only responsible for keys and documents.
- Damage to windows and wheels: not included in basic insurance — we recommend additional protection for 1,500 ₸/day.
In our practice, there was a case: a client in a Tucson hit a mirror in the TSUM parking lot — the repair cost 12,000 ₸, the client only paid the deductible of 30,000 ₸.
How insurance works in an accident — step by step
In case of an accident, call us — we advise over the phone and send an emergency commissioner if needed. If you are not at fault, we fill out a European accident report and change the car within 2-3 hours — we have backup cars. If you are at fault, we record the damage, take the deductible, and issue another Hyundai. In my opinion, additional protection for 1,500 ₸/day pays off with the first scratch — especially in parking lots near Mega Center.
Additional guarantees — 24/7 technical support
Rent-Trip provides round-the-clock technical support: if your Hyundai stalls on the highway or you get a flat tire, call us — we'll come or send a tow truck within the city and region. Waiting time is 30-60 minutes, depending on the area. Technical support works 24/7 — we had a case where a client in an Ioniq 5 needed to charge at 2 AM on Abay Street, and we helped find the nearest station.
Where to go in a rented Hyundai — routes from Almaty
Renting a Hyundai gives you access to the main attractions. Let me tell you about the routes we recommend to clients.
Medeu and Shymbulak — mountain route in a Tucson or Kona
From the center to Medeu — 20 km, 40 minutes via Gornaya Street and Al-Farabi Avenue. The road is paved, but it's a serpentine with a 500-meter elevation change — the all-wheel-drive Tucson handles it confidently even in rain. From Medeu to Shymbulak — another 8 km of serpentine; in winter, winter tires are mandatory (all our cars are fitted). Parking at Medeu is paid — 500 ₸/hour, at Shymbulak — 1,000 ₸/day. In summer, you can drive a Kona to BAO (Big Almaty Lake) — 30 km of gravel road, 170 mm ground clearance is enough.
Charyn Canyon and Kolsai — trip in a Tucson or Staria
To Charyn Canyon — 200 km on the A-351 highway (Almaty — Khorgos), 2.5 hours in a Tucson or Staria. The road to the canyon is paved, the last 10 km is dirt road — the Tucson handles it easily. Fuel consumption — 8-9 liters per 100 km, about 3,500 ₸ for gas round trip. To Kolsai Lakes — 300 km via Kegen, 4 hours in a Staria comfortably for 7 people. We had a case: a family of 6 took a Staria for 5 days, visited Kolsai and Charyn — gas cost 6,000 ₸.
Trip to Kyrgyzstan — in an Elantra or i20
The distance to the Kyrgyz border (Korday checkpoint) is 40 km, 30 minutes on an i20 or Elantra. The road is the A-2 highway, asphalt, no issues for any model. To cross into Kyrgyzstan, you need a foreign passport — we inform all customers when booking. In an Elantra, you can reach Bishkek (240 km, 3.5 hours) — fuel cost about 4,000 ₸.
Rental periods and Hyundai delivery
Flexible terms and delivery are an important part of Rent-Trip's service. Let me tell you how we work.
Minimum and maximum rental period for Hyundai
The minimum rental period for Hyundai at Rent-Trip is 1 day (24 hours), the maximum is 30 days. For rentals of 7+ days, a discount of up to 15% applies — for Tucson that's 18,500 ₸/day instead of 22,000 ₸. For rentals of 14+ days, a discount of up to 20% — for Staria it comes to 25,600 ₸/day. Late return fee is 1,500 ₸/hour, we remind you 2 hours before the end of the rental period.
Hyundai delivery — to the airport, hotel, and around the city
Rent-Trip delivers Hyundai to any location: airport, train station, hotel, home. Airport delivery is 3,000 ₸, within the city — 2,000 ₸, within 10 km of the center — free. Delivery time — from 30 minutes on weekdays, on weekends — up to 1 hour. If your flight is delayed, we wait — we had a case where a client was delayed for 4 hours at the airport, we brought the Ioniq 5 by morning.
Conclusion
Renting a Hyundai is a practical solution for the city, mountains, and long trips. Eight models cover any scenario: from daily commutes in an i20 to family trips in a Staria. The main thing is to choose the right car for the task and make sure the insurance and rental terms match your plans. Before booking, check the validity of your license and clarify the route — this will save time and hassle.
