Lexus rental in Almaty: 12 Rent-Trip models — from a business sedan to the LC coupe
Rent-Trip offers 12 Lexus cars in Almaty — from the ES 2016 business sedan at 35,000 ₸/day to the LC 2021 coupe at 154,990 ₸/day. We explain which model to choose for the city, the mountains and long-distance routes.
Why Lexus is the optimal choice for rental in Almaty
A Lexus in rental is a combination of reliability, comfort and status. In the Rent-Trip fleet the brand is represented by 12 cars of four classes: from a compact sedan to a body-on-frame SUV and a coupe.
Reliability and longevity: why Lexus doesn't let you down on mountain roads
Lexus is one of the most unpretentious brands in rental: naturally aspirated and hybrid engines run for hundreds of thousands of kilometres, and the suspension handles the mountain serpentines of Almaty. In our fleet the Lexus GX 2024 and Lexus RX 2021 hold up the longest — the GX's body-on-frame construction and the RX's independent suspension are designed for constant climbs to Medeu and Shymbulak, where the brakes and cooling work under load. We service every car according to the schedule: oil changes every 10,000 km, chassis diagnostics after every 5,000 km, brake pad checks before a mountain route. Before every handover we check the brakes, fluid levels and tyre pressure — on the pass to Medeu this is critical.
Comfort and status: why Lexus is chosen for business and special trips
The Lexus ES 2022 and GS 2016 are the workhorses of business trips: a quiet cabin, leather, climate control and an appearance appropriate for a meeting of any level. The ES 2022 comes with updated sound insulation and a head-up display, the GS 2016 with a classic layout and a soft ride along Al-Farabi Avenue. For weddings and photo shoots the LC 2021 is chosen more often — the coupe attracts attention, but requires careful driving in the city because of its low ground clearance.
Four classes in the fleet: Business, SUVs, Premium, Unique
- Business: ES, IS and GS sedans — for the city, business meetings and trips for two or three.
- SUVs: TX 2024 — a higher-capacity crossover for the family and transfers.
- Premium: RX, GX and LX — all-wheel drive and high ground clearance for the mountains and dirt routes.
- Unique: LC 2021 — a coupe for weddings, photo shoots and image trips.
- Deposit by class: Business — 100,000 ₸, Premium — 150,000 ₸, Unique — 200,000 ₸.
Which Lexus model for which task
The choice of model depends on the task: city, mountains, a large group or a special event. Let's break it down by scenario.
For a family of 5 and trips to the mountains: RX 2021 or GX 2024
For a family of five, the Lexus RX 2021 is optimal — a crossover with a spacious cabin and soft suspension; if the route goes off-road, take the GX 2024. The RX 2021 holds three adult passengers in the back and luggage for four suitcases, fuel consumption on the highway to Lake Kolsai is about 11 litres per 100 km. The GX 2024 is a body-on-frame SUV with a low-range gear, it confidently handles the dirt road to Kolsai, but fuel consumption is higher than the RX's.
For business trips and the city: ES 2022, IS 2017, GS 2016
For the city and business meetings, Business-class sedans are suitable: the ES 2022 is fresh and presentable, the IS 2017 is compact and nimble, the GS 2016 is the golden mean in size. The ES 2022 is convenient for meetings in the business centre on Dostyk, the IS 2017 with its short wheelbase turns easily in the lanes near the Green Bazaar, the GS 2016 gives more room for the rear passenger. In central Almaty the streets are narrow and traffic is dense — the compact IS 2017 is easier to park than the full-size GS.
For a large group and special occasions: TX 2024 and LC 2021
The Lexus TX 2024 seats up to 7 people — the best option for a large group or a transfer; the LC 2021 is an image-making coupe for weddings and photo shoots. The TX 2024 is taken on trips to the Charyn Canyon and to Kyrgyzstan, where three rows of seats and a large trunk matter. The TX 2024 is convenient for a trip to Kyrgyzstan with a large group, but on winding mountain roads it requires attention due to its dimensions.
The most affordable Lexus: ES 2016 from 35,000 ₸/day
The most affordable Lexus in the fleet is the ES 2016 from 35,000 ₸/day: a business sedan with a full set of options at a comfort-class price. This is the previous-generation body with leather interior, climate control, a rear-view camera and a factory audio system — enough capability for the city and business trips. If the budget is limited but you need status, the ES 2016 is a compromise: outwardly it is a full-fledged Lexus, while in price it is closer to mass-market sedans.

Where you can go: city, mountains, Kolsai and Kyrgyzstan
The route determines both the model and the preparation. Let's look at the destinations our clients most often choose.
City and business routes: where maneuverability matters
For trips around Almaty, Business-class sedans are more convenient: the IS 2017 and GS 2016 navigate the center without parking problems. Sergek cameras record speed on the avenues, so in the city keep to the permitted limit — under the contract, fines are the responsibility of the renter. You can pay for parking and fuel via Kaspi or Halyk; Qazaq Oil and Sinooil stations are available at all exits.
Mountains: Medeu, Shymbulak and the pass
On the climb to Medeu and Shymbulak, brakes and all-wheel drive matter — the GX 2024, GX 2016 and LX handle it more confidently here. In winter there is snow and ice on the pass, in summer there are steep winding roads with limited visibility. In our experience, on mountain routes the GX 2024 is chosen more often: the body-on-frame construction and ground clearance provide a margin on dirt roads and rocks.
Long-distance routes: Kolsai, Charyn and trips to Kyrgyzstan
For Kolsai and the Charyn Canyon you need luggage capacity and comfort on the highway — the TX 2024, RX 2021 and LX will do. For trips to Kyrgyzstan we arrange border-crossing documents in advance; the route through Kordai takes about 4 hours to Bishkek. For a large group, it is worth taking the 7-seat TX 2024 so you can travel in one vehicle.
Rental terms: documents, mileage, insurance
Rental is arranged under a contract with a passport and a driver's license. Below are the key terms.
Documents and paperwork
- Passport: the renter's ID card or passport.
- License: a category B driver's license with at least 2 years of driving experience.
- Contract: signed upon handover, a copy stays with the renter.
- Age: the driver must be at least 23 years old — a standard condition for the premium class.
Mileage, fuel and vehicle condition
The rate includes mileage of up to 200 km per day; beyond the limit there is an additional per-kilometer charge under the contract. The car is handed over with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank — this makes fuel costs easier to calculate. Before handover we record the condition of the body and interior in a report so that there are no disputes upon return.
Insurance and 24/7 support
Every car is insured under OSAGO, and roadside technical assistance is available for the entire rental period. If the car won't start or an accident occurs, call the manager on WhatsApp — we will advise you on what to do and, if necessary, arrange a replacement car.
Booking, payment and extension
Booking is done via WhatsApp: the manager confirms the model, dates and delivery. Payment is in cash or by transfer via Kaspi and Halyk; we issue a receipt on the spot. For an extension, let us know at least a day in advance — if the car is not booked by the next client, we will leave it with you.
How to book
- Model and dates: message us on WhatsApp with the model from the list and the rental period.
- Confirmation: the manager checks availability and sends the terms.
- Delivery: we agree on the address and time — within the city or to Almaty airport.
Payment and extension
Payment is accepted in cash and by transfer via Kaspi or Halyk. Extension — by calling on WhatsApp at least a day before the end of the term. For a week or more the price is lower — we quote the exact amount on WhatsApp.
Service and support on the road
We stay in touch with the renter throughout the entire journey: from handover to return. If something goes wrong on the road — from a puncture to questions about the route — message us on WhatsApp; we answer around the clock.
What to do in case of a breakdown or accident
- Stop: turn on your hazard lights and set up a warning triangle, do not leave the scene.
- Contact us: message us on WhatsApp, the manager will advise you on what to do.
- Report the accident: call the police and record the circumstances for the insurance company.
- Car replacement: if necessary, we will arrange a replacement car from the fleet.
Car return
Return is carried out under a report: we check the body, interior, fuel level and mileage. The deposit is returned within 1–3 business days after the car is returned without damage or fines. If Sergek fines are found, we deduct their amount from the deposit with confirmation.
Conclusion
Renting a Lexus covers various needs: the ES, IS and GS sedans — for the city and business meetings, the RX, GX and LX crossovers — for the mountains and long routes, the 2024 TX — for a large group, the 2021 LC — for special occasions. Your choice should be based on the route: a business sedan is enough for the center, for Medeu and Kolsai take all-wheel drive, for a wedding — a coupe. Before booking, check the availability of the model you need for your dates and clarify the delivery terms — that way the trip will go without surprises.
