Mercedes-Benz rental in Almaty

Rent-Trip's fleet includes 22 Mercedes-Benz: from the business-class E-Class at 40,000 ₸ per day to the 2023 G-Class at 400,000 ₸. We'll match a model to your task — city, mountains or transfer.

How much Mercedes-Benz rental costs and what the rate includes

The cost of renting a Mercedes-Benz in Almaty is determined by class, year of manufacture and body type. Below are the price ranges across Rent-Trip's fleet, what the base rate includes, and the full table of models of the brand.

How much Mercedes-Benz rental costs per day in Almaty

At Rent-Trip, renting a Mercedes-Benz in Almaty costs from 40,000 ₸ per day for a 2015 E-Class to 400,000 ₸ for a 2023 G-Class — the final price depends on class and year of manufacture. The business segment is represented by the 2015 E-Class, 2018 C-Class, 2018 E-Class, 2023 E-Class and the 2025 EQE electric car. Premium starts with the 2004 S-Class W220 from 54,990 ₸ and goes up to the 2015 AMG GT from 350,000 ₸. Commercial options are the 2021 Vito from 58,990 ₸ and the 2017 Sprinter from 84,990 ₸. The price difference between an older and a newer version of the same model is the difference in interior condition, mileage and options, not just the year of manufacture; for a short trip, the older version is often more cost-effective.

What the rate includes and what surcharges are possible

• Mileage: up to 200 km per day is included in the price; beyond the limit, a per-kilometer surcharge applies per the contract.
• Insurance: the policy is issued for the rental period and is included in the base rate.
• Contract: signed at handover, it records the condition of the car, the term and the mileage limit.
• Support: a 24/7 line for questions on the road and in case of an accident.
• Delivery: delivery of the car to an address within Almaty is arranged in advance.
• Washing and fuel: we hand over the car clean and with a full tank; return it in the same condition.

Calculate the mileage for your route in advance: a trip to Shymbulak and back fits within the limit, but a tour to Kolsai or Charyn does not, and this should be discussed before departure.

Prices by Mercedes-Benz model in Rent-Trip's fleet

The most affordable options — E-Class 2015, C-Class 2018 and Vito 2021 — cover the basics (city, cargo, pickups), while the premium segment starts with the S-Class W220 2004 from 54,990 ₸.

Which Mercedes-Benz model to choose for your task

The logic of choice is simple: first the task and route, then the class and body type. For the city, a business sedan is enough; for the mountains, all-wheel drive and ground clearance; for a group, a minivan or minibus.

For the city and business trips: E-Class, C-Class, EQE

For the city and meetings, Rent-Trip clients take the E-Class 2015 from 40,000 ₸, C-Class 2018 from 41,990 ₸ and the electric EQE 2025 from 70,000 ₸. These sedans navigate the narrow streets of the center, park at business centers on Al-Farabi and Dostyk, while «Sergek» cameras record speeding — on smooth asphalt it's easy not to notice your speed. The EQE 2025 is the only electric car of the brand in the fleet: in the city it's quieter and cheaper to «fuel», and its range covers a day of trips between locations. For a status meeting with a partner, clients more often ask for the E-Class 2023 from 160,000 ₸ — a fresh interior and a different level of options. For a long route out of town, an electric car isn't worth taking: there are few charging stations on the highway, while a petrol sedan refuels in five minutes.

To the mountains of Medeu and Shymbulak: G-Class and GLE

For the mountains, Rent-Trip offers the G-Class 2016 from 150,000 ₸, G-Class 2023 from 400,000 ₸ and GLE 2023 from 150,000 ₸ — all-wheel drive and ground clearance matter more than speed on the serpentine. The ascent to Medeu and Shymbulak goes over a pass with sharp turns, where a heavy SUV holds the road more confidently than a light sedan. The GLE 2017 from 90,000 ₸ and GLS 2023 from 249,990 ₸ also handle this road if you drive without rushing. In winter, on the ascent to Medeu and Shymbulak, what decides is not power but winter tires and all-wheel drive — check the seasonal equipment when booking. On the BAO the road is easier, but after a snowfall it's cleared later than the central streets.

For weddings, VIP transfers and groups: S-Class, V-Class, Sprinter

• S-Class: from 100,000 ₸ — a flagship sedan for weddings, motorcades and meetings of top officials.
• CLS 2022: from 200,000 ₸ — a coupe with an expressive silhouette for photo shoots and celebrations.
• V-Class 2021: from 140,000 ₸ — a 7-seat minivan for guests and family outings.
• V-Class 2016: from 104,990 ₸ — the same format, cheaper, for short transfers.
• Sprinter 2017: from 84,990 ₸ — a minibus for groups and luggage transport.
• GLS 2023: from 249,990 ₸ — a large SUV for transfers with premium-class comfort.

For a motorcade, models are selected by a single color and class — this is worth agreeing on in advance so that the cars in the column look like one ensemble.

For long-distance tours: Charyn, Kolsai, trips to Kyrgyzstan

For Charyn and Kolsai, Rent-Trip offers the GLE 2017 from 90,000 ₸, the GLE 2023 from 150,000 ₸ and the GLS 2023 from 249,990 ₸; trips to Kyrgyzstan are by prior arrangement. The road to the Charyn Canyon is asphalt with stretches of dirt, and to Kolsai Lake it is a mountain serpentine with climbs; an all-wheel-drive crossover handles both routes without strain. The G-Class 2016 from 150,000 ₸ is chosen by those heading further along dirt roads to the gorges. On a long-distance route, what matters more than the class is the mileage allowance: 200 km per day is not enough for a tour to Kolsai, so the limit is discussed before departure. For a trip to Kyrgyzstan, a package of documents for the car is required — agree on the route in advance.

Deposit, documents and booking a rental

The paperwork takes less than an hour: the contract, document checks, vehicle inspection and handover of the keys. We'll explain how the deposit is calculated, what to bring and how the handover works.

What the deposit is and what it depends on

The deposit at Rent-Trip depends on the class: 50,000 ₸ for economy and comfort, 100,000 ₸ for business, SUVs, minivans and commercial vehicles, 150,000 ₸ for premium and 200,000 ₸ for unique models. It is returned within 1-3 business days after the car is returned without damage or fines. For the E-Class 2015 and C-Class 2018 it is 100,000 ₸, for the S-Class and GLE 2023 — 150,000 ₸, for the AMG GT 2015 — 200,000 ₸. The amount is fixed in the contract and does not change during the rental. Ask about the payment method when booking: some clients prefer a transfer via Kaspi or Halyk.

What documents are needed and how the paperwork works

• Identity card: the original; for foreigners — a passport with a visa or an entry stamp.
• Driver's license: category B and at least two years of driving experience for business class, at least three for premium.
• Rental agreement: signed in two copies, it records the model, term, mileage limit and deposit.
• Vehicle inspection: together with the manager, we record scratches, dents and the fuel level in the report.
• Insurance: the policy is issued for the rental period, and a copy stays with the client.
• 24/7 Support: a contact number for the road and in case of an accident — in the contract and on WhatsApp.

Photograph the body and interior at handover — this removes disputed issues on return, if the car was parked at a shopping centre.

Deposit refund and returning the car

The deposit is returned within 1-3 business days after the car is returned without damage or fines. The car is accepted according to the report: the condition of the body and interior, the fuel level and the mileage are checked. Fines from Serhek cameras arrive within a few weeks — if the violation was recorded during the rental period, the amount is withheld from the deposit and the remainder is returned. Fuel is returned at the same level as at handover: any shortfall is compensated according to the filling station receipt. Washing after standard use is included in the rate; after difficult conditions (dirt, mud) it is discussed separately. The check-in takes 15-20 minutes if the car has no issues.

Mercedes-Benz in the city and in the mountains: driving in Almaty

Almaty is a city with contrasting terrain: the centre is on the plain, the foothills have climbs, and there is a pass to Medeu and Shymbulak. We'll explain how different classes behave on these roads.

City mode: traffic jams, parking, Serhek cameras

In city mode, business sedans show their best: the E-Class 2015 from 40,000 ₸ and the C-Class 2018 from 41,990 ₸ are economical in traffic jams and manoeuvrable on narrow streets. Serhek cameras operate throughout the city, including Al-Farabi, Saina and Rozybakiev — it is hard to drive slowly in a Mercedes-Benz, so cruise control helps keep to 60 km/h. Parking in the centre is paid and tight: a sedan about five metres long fits into a standard space, while the GLS 2023 from 249,990 ₸ requires extra room. The EQE 2025 from 70,000 ₸ is quieter in the city than petrol versions and uses no fuel in traffic jams — a day's charge is enough. For daily business trips, business-class sedans are more practical than large crossovers.

Mountains and passes: Medeu, Shymbulak, BAO

• All-wheel drive: essential for winter climbs to Medeu and Shymbulak — the G-Class and GLE handle the serpentine confidently.
• Ground clearance: high ground clearance is needed on the approaches to BAO and the dirt stretches near the gorges.
• Winter tires: from November to March — essential; ask about the specification when booking.
• Brakes: on long descents from the pass, a low gear helps rather than constant braking.
• Fuel: on climbs, consumption rises by 20-30% — fill up before leaving the city.
• Communication: In some areas near Shymbulak the signal is weak — download the maps in advance.

In winter, what matters on the climb is not power but winter tires and all-wheel drive: summer tires on a mountain serpentine in icy conditions are dangerous even for a G-Class.

Long routes: Charyn, Kolsai, Kyrgyzstan

On long routes, fuel range, comfort on long stretches and ground clearance on unpaved sections matter. The GLE 2017 from 90,000 ₸ and the GLE 2023 from 150,000 ₸ are suitable for trips to the Charyn Canyon and Kolsai Lake: these crossovers hold the highway, fit a family's luggage and handle dirt roads without risking the underbody. The GLS 2023 from 249,990 ₸ is chosen for large groups — seven seats and all-wheel drive. Travel to Kyrgyzstan is possible by arrangement: you need a package of documents for the car and a route sheet. Kolsai is about 280 km one way — factor in the mileage against the 200 km per day limit and discuss any excess in advance. There are few gas stations on the highway, so a full tank before departure is a must.

Service life, reliability and fleet condition

Rent-Trip updates its Mercedes-Benz fleet according to the manufacturer's schedule: every car undergoes scheduled maintenance and a pre-trip inspection. Let's look at how this affects reliability and what to consider when choosing between an older and a newer version.

Maintenance schedule and pre-trip inspection

At Rent-Trip, every Mercedes-Benz undergoes scheduled maintenance according to the manufacturer's schedule and a pre-trip inspection before handover. We check the oil and fluid levels, the condition of the brake pads, tire pressure, and the operation of the lights and electronics. The E-Class 2015 with over 200,000 km is serviced more often than newer versions, but it stays in service thanks to the durability of the M274 engine and the 7G-Tronic gearbox. The newer E-Class 2023, GLE 2023 and GLS 2023 are under warranty, so they have fewer unscheduled downtimes. Before handover, the manager records the condition in a report — the client sees the actual mileage and service history.

What to check when choosing between an older and a newer version

• Mileage: is higher on older versions, but scheduled maintenance matters more than the absolute figure.
• Interior: newer models have leather and the latest-generation multimedia, older ones are simpler but cleaner.
• Options: adaptive cruise control, 360 cameras and a heated steering wheel are more common on versions from 2021 onward.
• Consumption: older naturally aspirated engines are simpler to service, new turbo ones are more fuel-efficient.
• Price: the difference between the E-Class 2015 from 40,000 ₸ and the E-Class 2023 from 160,000 ₸ is in condition and options.
• Task: for a short trip an older version is more cost-effective, for a status meeting — a newer one.

If the route is short and without status demands, an older version gets the job done for less money — the price difference goes toward fuel and experiences.

What to do if you break down on the road

If there is a breakdown on the road, call the 24/7 support line — the dispatcher coordinates the tow truck and a replacement car. Under the contract, a technical fault not caused by the client is fixed at the rental company's expense: tow truck, repair and, if necessary, replacement of the car with a similar one. If the breakdown happens outside the city, the dispatcher arranges the nearest service or towing to Almaty. Response time depends on distance: within the city, a replacement arrives within an hour, on the highway — longer. Keep the support number in the car and do not try to fix the fault yourself — this is a condition of the contract.

Delivery, support and payment

Car delivery, payment methods and round-the-clock support are the three things that determine the convenience of a rental. Let's go through each point.

Car delivery across Almaty and to the airport

Rent-Trip delivers the car to any address in Almaty and to the airport — the time and place are agreed upon when booking. Within the city, the car is delivered within an hour after confirmation, to the airport — by the flight's arrival. For an airport meeting, the manager waits in the arrivals area with a sign or hands over the keys in the parking lot — the client chooses the format. Delivery to remote districts such as Alatau or Nauryzbai is arranged separately by time. On return, the car can be left at a different address — this is recorded in the contract. For weddings and motorcades, the delivery of several cars is coordinated to a single time.

Payment methods: Kaspi, Halyk, cash

• Kaspi: a transfer by number or via the app is the most common method among clients.
• Halyk: payment by card or transfer, the receipt stays with the client.
• Cash: accepted upon car handover at the office.
• Card: Visa and Mastercard from any bank operating in Kazakhstan.
• Bank transfer: for corporate clients under a contract and invoice.
• Currency: payment in tenge; foreigners can pay by card.

Payment is made upon vehicle handover; the deposit is separate and is returned after the vehicle is returned. For corporate clients, an invoice is issued in advance.

24/7 support and communication on WhatsApp

Rent-Trip support is available around the clock: questions about the route, a breakdown, an accident or extending the rental are handled via WhatsApp or by the phone number in the contract. The dispatcher is also available at night — if the car won't start in the morning or you need help on the highway, we respond within a few minutes. Rental extensions are agreed a day before the term ends: if the car is available, the term is extended without returning it. In the event of an accident, the dispatcher advises on the procedure and coordinates calling the traffic police and the insurance company. The support number is listed in the contract and in the WhatsApp chat that opens when you book.

Conclusion

Mercedes-Benz rental in Almaty covers everything from business trips around the city to weddings, tours to Charyn and Kolsai, and trips to the mountains. The fleet has 22 models of the brand — from the E-Class 2015 business sedan from 40,000 ₸ per day to the premium G-Class 2023 from 400,000 ₸. The choice is based on the task: a sedan is enough for the city, the mountains require all-wheel drive and winter tires, and for a group — a minivan or a minibus. The deposit depends on the class — from 50,000 to 200,000 ₸, returned within 1-3 business days. The rate includes mileage up to 200 km per day, insurance, the contract and 24/7 support; long-distance routes require agreeing on the limit in advance. Before booking, determine the route and the number of passengers — this will narrow the choice down to two or three models.
