Rent a Lexus in Almaty: 5 models for any task — from business meetings to mountain trips
At Rent-Trip, we offer Lexus rentals in Almaty with our own fleet of 5 models: from the business sedan ES (from 28,000 ₸/day) to the premium SUV LX (from 81,000 ₸/day). We work directly, without intermediaries — we provide cars with full insurance and no hidden fees.
How much does it cost to rent a Lexus: prices for all models
Let's break down the current prices for Lexus rentals — from business class to premium SUVs. All rates include insurance and no hidden fees.
Cost of renting a Lexus ES — business class for the city
Renting a Lexus ES starts from 28,000 ₸/day — this is the most affordable option in our fleet for business trips and city driving. The sedan features a leather interior, dual-zone climate control, and adaptive cruise control, which helps in traffic jams on Al-Farabi Avenue and Sain. The 2.5L engine (200 hp) paired with a CVT delivers smooth acceleration to 100 km/h in 9 seconds — no jerks, important when transporting partners. Fuel consumption in combined cycle is 8-9 L/100 km, and with careful city driving, about 10 L. The Lexus ES is ideal for daily trips: ground clearance of 150 mm allows confident handling on city roads and parking lots near Mega or Esentai Mall shopping centers.
Prices for premium SUVs Lexus GX and LX
Lexus GX costs from 66,000 ₸/day, and the flagship Lexus LX from 81,000 ₸/day; both SUVs come with full insurance and no daily mileage limit. The GX is equipped with a 4.6L V8 (296 hp) with a solid rear axle and Multi-Terrain Select system — it's a body-on-frame SUV that handles Medeu without strain. The LX features a 5.7L V8 (367 hp) with hydropneumatic suspension — on bumps to Charyn Canyon, the cabin is quiet, as if driving on asphalt. The price difference between GX and LX is justified: the LX offers greater ground clearance (225 mm vs 210 mm) and a more spacious cabin for 8 passengers — ideal for large groups.

Which Lexus to choose: comparison of models for your needs
To avoid making a mistake with your choice, let's break down which model is best suited for each specific task—from a business meeting to a wedding.
Lexus ES — for business meetings and business trips
The Lexus ES is the optimal choice for business trips: an executive sedan with leather interior and climate control that will emphasize your status at negotiations. The suspension is tuned for comfort—potholes on Zharokova or Tole bi streets are handled without shaking, and sound insulation muffles traffic from Dostyk Avenue. The cabin seats four passengers plus the driver, and the 473-liter trunk holds two suitcases and briefcases. Thanks to the economical engine (2.5L, 200 hp), this model consumes only 8-9 L/100 km in the city—1.5 times less than SUVs, which significantly saves your budget on long-term rentals.
Lexus GX and LX — for mountain and nature trips
For trips to Medeu, Shymbulak, or the Charyn Canyon, choose the Lexus GX (from 66,000 ₸/day) or LX (from 81,000 ₸/day)—body-on-frame SUVs with all-wheel drive and ground clearance from 210 mm. On the climb to Shymbulak (gradient up to 15%), the GX goes in 2nd gear without overheating—the Crawl Control system automatically adjusts traction. The LX with AHC hydraulic suspension raises the body by 50 mm when Off-Road mode is engaged, which saves you on rocks near the Big Almaty Lake. On mountain switchbacks, the GX feels more confident than the LX due to its shorter wheelbase—it enters turns more easily, which is especially important on narrow roads to Shymbulak.
Lexus LC — for weddings, photo shoots, and status events
The Lexus LC 500 is a sports coupe with a 477-hp V8 engine and a design that attracts attention; an ideal choice for a wedding procession or a status photo shoot. The two-door body with a retractable spoiler and 21-inch wheels looks impressive against the fountains near the Palace of the Republic or against the mountain backdrop at Medeu. The interior is trimmed with Alcantara and carbon fiber—four passengers sit comfortably, though the rear row is more for children or short trips. For a wedding procession, it's better to book this model 2-3 weeks in advance—during the season (May-September), demand for the LC is at its peak, and available cars may be scarce.
Lexus TX — a family minivan for comfortable trips
The Lexus TX is a 7-seat minivan from 42,000 ₸/day, designed for family trips: three rows of seats, a huge trunk, and ride smoothness on par with a business sedan. The third row is full-sized—adult passengers up to 185 cm tall sit without their knees touching the second-row seats. Standard features include heated seats for all rows, three-zone climate control, and window shades, which save you from the heat on a trip to Kolsai. The TX is the only model in our fleet with a transforming interior: folding the third row gives you a trunk volume of over 1,000 liters—enough for a camping trip to Kolsai with tents.
Lexus rental terms: documents, deposit, and insurance
To ensure a smooth rental, it's important to know in advance what documents are needed, what deposit is required, and what the insurance covers.
What documents are needed to rent a Lexus
To rent a Lexus, you need: an identity document (ID card or passport) and a category B driver's license with at least 2 years of experience—for all models, including the LX and LC. If you are a citizen of another country, a passport and national driver's license are sufficient—an International Driving Permit is not required, but the license must be in Latin or Cyrillic script. For citizens of Russia, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, we accept licenses without translation—this applies to 90% of our clients from CIS countries. The minimum driver age is 23 for the ES and TX, and 25 for the GX, LX, and LC.
Deposit amount and payment methods
The deposit for renting a Lexus ranges from 50,000 ₸ for the ES to 150,000 ₸ for the LX and LC—the amount is returned on the day of return after inspection. We accept payment in cash (tenge, dollars, rubles at the exchange rate), transfer via Kaspi or Halyk, or bank card—a terminal is available at the office. The deposit is not blocked on your card—you pay it in cash or by transfer, which is more convenient than having funds frozen for several days. For rentals of a week or longer, the deposit is reduced by 30%—for the ES, the deposit will be 35,000 ₸ instead of 50,000 ₸.
What insurance covers when renting a Lexus
All Lexus vehicles are insured under a compulsory liability policy (OSGPO) and CASCO with a deductible of 30,000 ₸—this is the amount you pay in case of damage to the car. The insurance covers accidents, hail damage (relevant for Almaty downpours), and parking lot damage—but does not cover tire punctures, broken windows, or interior damage. For an additional fee (2,000 ₸/day for the ES, 4,000 ₸/day for the LX), you can add extended CASCO with zero deductible—then you pay nothing for any damage.
Rental process: how to pick up the car and what restrictions apply
I'll walk you through the rental procedure—from booking to return.
How to book a Lexus at Rent-Trip
You can book a Lexus by phone, via WhatsApp, or on Instagram—we respond from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, seven days a week. To book, just provide the model, dates, and contact information—no prepayment is required; we reserve the car for you on a verbal basis. On the rental day, you come to the office (near the intersection of Auezov and Satpayev streets) or we deliver the car to your address within Almaty—delivery within the city is free. You can pick up the car at the airport—we meet you in the arrivals area with a sign; an additional fee of 5,000 ₸ applies for airport delivery.
Car inspection and contract signing
When picking up the Lexus, we inspect the body, interior, and wheels together—we record all scratches and chips in the acceptance certificate, which you sign. The contract specifies: rental period, daily mileage limit (200 km for the ES, unlimited for the GX/LX/LC), liability for Sergek fines, and the condition of the car. The inspection takes 15-20 minutes; we don't rush you: check the air conditioning, lights, multimedia, and all power windows. I strongly advise checking tire pressure and washer fluid level—this is especially important in winter on mountain roads.
Mileage, territory, and speed restrictions
For the Lexus ES, there is a limit of 200 km/day—excess mileage is charged separately (30 ₸/km). For the GX, LX SUVs and the TX minivan, mileage is unlimited—you can drive all the way to Kyrgyzstan. Travel outside Kazakhstan is prohibited without written consent—exception: trips to Kyrgyzstan (to Bishkek or Issyk-Kul) are possible with an additional fee of 10,000 ₸ for crossing the border. The car cannot be used for racing, towing other vehicles, or transferred to third parties without our knowledge.
Where to go with a rented Lexus in Almaty and surroundings
Lexus is not just about status, but also about possibilities: you can take it to the mountains, nature, or even a neighboring country.
Medeu, Shymbulak, and Big Almaty Lake
In a Lexus GX or LX, you can reach Medeu in 40 minutes from the city center—the road along Dostyk Avenue and Kerey-Zhanibek Khandar Street is paved, but the last kilometers to Shymbulak involve a winding road with sharp turns. The all-wheel-drive SUV handles confidently even on ice—in winter, it's better not to go to Shymbulak without chains, but the GX with Crawl Control can manage. To Big Almaty Lake (BAO), the last 5 km are gravel—the LX with 225 mm ground clearance handles it without issues, while the Lexus ES is best left at the lower station parking lot.
Charyn Canyon and Lake Kolsai
To Charyn Canyon it's 200 km along the Almaty-Narynkol highway, about 3 hours. In a Lexus LX or GX the ride is comfortable: the cabin is quiet, the suspension swallows potholes past Shelek. Inside the canyon there's a gravel road with stones — for the LX with hydraulic suspension it's a breeze, but the ES shouldn't go there (150 mm ground clearance isn't enough). Kolsai is 300 km from the city, the last 15 km are gravel with ruts — the Lexus TX with all-wheel drive handles it, but it's better to take a GX with engine protection.
Trip to Kyrgyzstan: Bishkek and Issyk-Kul
You can drive a Lexus to Kyrgyzstan — 240 km to Bishkek (4 hours via the Kegen Pass), to Issyk-Kul about 400 km. The road to Issyk-Kul over the pass (up to 3000 m) is no problem for the LX or GX, but in a Lexus ES with low ground clearance you'll need to be careful on the switchbacks. When crossing the border, notify us in advance — we arrange an exit permit, surcharge 10,000 ₸. The same rules apply in Kyrgyzstan: your MTPL insurance covers you in Kazakhstan; if an accident occurs abroad, contact us immediately.
What to do in case of an accident or force majeure with a rented Lexus
Even an experienced driver can face the unexpected — here's what to do.
What to do in case of an accident
In a crash with a rented Lexus, first make sure all passengers are safe, then call the police (102) and an ambulance (103) if needed. Do not leave the scene or move the car until the inspector arrives — this can lead to license revocation and insurance denial. Take photos of the damage, license plates, the scene, and a diagram — these will be needed for insurance. After the report is filed, call us — we'll come to the scene or arrange a tow truck (within Almaty free, outside the city at 150 ₸/km).
How insurance works in an accident
If you have standard CASCO with a 30,000 ₸ deductible, you pay the first 30,000 ₸ of repairs, and insurance covers the rest. With extended CASCO (zero deductible) you pay nothing — we take the car for repairs and provide a replacement (Toyota Camry during repairs). If the accident is your fault (traffic violation, speeding), insurance covers the damage, but you pay 'Sergek' fines and possible rate increases next year.
What to do if the car breaks down through no fault of yours
A Lexus technical failure (engine, transmission, suspension) is our responsibility: call us, we'll tow the car free and provide a replacement within an hour. If the problem occurs outside the city, we'll send a tow truck or a mechanic with diagnostic equipment. A punctured tire or broken glass is your responsibility (not covered by insurance): replacement costs 15,000-25,000 ₸ per tire, 30,000-50,000 ₸ per window. Our contacts are in the contract and the glove box.
How to choose a reliable Lexus rental
The rental market is saturated — here are the criteria to distinguish a reliable company from a problematic one.
Own fleet vs. aggregator
A direct rental with its own fleet (like Rent-Trip) provides cars it knows technically — we service each vehicle ourselves, change oil every 7,000 km and check the suspension before every rental. Aggregators connect renters with private owners — no one controls car quality or honesty of terms. In our experience, a client once rented a Lexus LX through an aggregator and broke down after 20 km — the private owner didn't answer calls. With us, such a situation is impossible: 24/7 support and a replacement fleet.
Transparent contract and no hidden fees
Read the rental agreement carefully: a reliable company lists all charges — daily rate, deposit, excess mileage cost, penalties for returning with a dirty interior (usually 5,000-10,000 ₸). In our contract we specify: no fees for paperwork, delivery within the city, or washing upon return. If they say 'deposit from 100,000 ₸, but we'll tell you the exact amount when you sign' — that's a red flag: honest companies give a specific figure upfront.
Car condition and fleet freshness
Check the Lexus model year: 2023-2025 models are optimal — they're under warranty and in excellent technical condition. Our fleet is renewed every 2-3 years — Lexus ES 2024, GX 2023, LX 2024. Before signing, ask to see the service book or maintenance history — if there isn't one, the car likely hasn't been maintained. Inspect the interior: a worn steering wheel, worn pedals, cracks on the dashboard — signs of 100,000+ km, even if the odometer shows 30,000.
Conclusion
Renting a Lexus is an opportunity to access a premium car without the cost of buying and maintaining it. Different models cover different scenarios: from business meetings in an ES to conquering mountains in a GX or a status wedding in an LC. The main thing is to choose a reliable lessor with its own fleet, transparent terms, and fresh cars. Check the documents, deposit, and insurance before signing — and your trip will go without surprises.
