Mitsubishi rental in Almaty: 7 Rent-Trip models — from the Mirage at 13,990 ₸ to the Delica for large groups
Rent-Trip offers 7 Mitsubishi models in Almaty — from the economy hatchback Mirage 2019 to the Delica 2020 minivan. All automatic, with a contract and 24/7 support.
Why Mitsubishi is a workhorse brand for car rental in Almaty
Mitsubishi in the Rent-Trip fleet means 7 cars across three classes that cover almost any rental scenario in Almaty: from a short city drive to an expedition into the mountains. Let's look at why the brand has proven convenient specifically for rental and how its models are distributed across classes.
How Mitsubishi beats other brands in rental
The Rent-Trip fleet has 7 Mitsubishi models — the widest line-up of a single brand, and it covers three classes at once: Economy, SUVs and Minivans. Practice has shown that this brand offers a successful combination of maintenance cost and off-road capability. Parts — consumables, brake pads, filters, suspension components — are available in Almaty, so the car doesn't sit idle waiting for components. 4WD all-wheel drive is available even in the higher trims of the Outlander and L200, which is rare for rental fleets: most rent out front-wheel-drive crossovers. An automatic transmission is fitted to all seven cars without exception — this noticeably simplifies handover and reduces the number of requests from clients who don't drive manual. Our fleet manager Arman Seitzhanov specifically notes: Mitsubishi holds up equally steadily in city traffic jams and mountain serpentines, without the CVT overheating typical of some brands.
Three classes of Mitsubishi in our fleet: Economy, SUVs, Minivans
- Economy: Mitsubishi Mirage 2019 — a compact automatic hatchback, the most affordable car in the line-up.
- SUVs: Mitsubishi Outlander 2022 and Outlander 2016, Pajero 2015, L200 2021 and L200 2016 — all-wheel-drive crossovers and pickups.
- Minivans: Mitsubishi Delica 2020 — the only Mitsubishi minivan in the fleet, designed for a group of 6-7 people.
- Body types: the line-up has four body types — crossover, minivan, pickup and hatchback, for different needs.
- Transmission: all 7 Mitsubishi models at Rent-Trip have an automatic — this is the fleet's single standard.
- Deposit by class: 50,000 ₸ for economy, 100,000 ₸ for SUVs and minivans, so the class immediately sets the rental budget.
All 7 Mitsubishi models in the Rent-Trip fleet: prices and classes
Below is the full Mitsubishi lineup available at Rent-Trip: year, class, body type and price per day. All cars are automatic.
Mitsubishi model table: class, body type, price per day
| Model | Class | Body | Transmission | Price, ₸/day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mitsubishi Mirage 2019 | Economy | Hatchback | Automatic | from 13,990 |
| Mitsubishi Outlander 2016 | SUVs | Crossover | Automatic | from 27,990 |
| Mitsubishi L200 2016 | SUVs | Pickup | Automatic | from 28 990 |
| Mitsubishi Outlander 2022 | SUVs | Crossover | Automatic | from 34,990 |
| Mitsubishi L200 2021 | SUVs | Pickup | Automatic | from 34,990 |
| Mitsubishi Pajero 2015 | SUVs | Crossover | Automatic | from 44 990 |
| Mitsubishi Delica 2020 | Minivans | Minivan | Automatic | from 58,990 |
Please note: the Outlander and L200 are offered in two model years — these are different cars at different prices, and when booking it's important to specify the year to get the version you want.
The most affordable Mitsubishi models: where to start
The three most affordable Mitsubishi models at Rent-Trip are the Mirage 2019 from 13,990 ₸, the Outlander 2016 from 27,990 ₸ and the L200 2016 from 28,990 ₸. The Mirage is pure economy: a hatchback with low fuel consumption, ideal for trips around the center and short one- or two-day getaways. The Outlander 2016 and L200 2016 are the compromise segment: for a surcharge over economy you get all-wheel drive, high ground clearance and a body that doesn't mind gravel roads. In our experience, these two cars are most often rented for 3-5 days for trips to Charyn Canyon and Kolsai Lake — there the asphalt ends on the approach roads, and a two-wheel-drive crossover is already at risk. The deposit for all three models is 50,000 ₸ for the Mirage and 100,000 ₸ for the SUVs.
Top versions: Outlander 2022, L200 2021, Pajero 2015, Delica 2020
The newest and top-of-the-line Mitsubishi cars in the fleet are the Outlander 2022 from 34,990 ₸, the L200 2021 from 34,990 ₸, the Pajero 2015 from 44,990 ₸ and the Delica 2020 from 58,990 ₸. The Outlander 2022 and L200 2021 are the latest-generation cars in the fleet: updated interiors, modern multimedia systems, lower odometer mileage. The Pajero 2015 stays at the top not because of its year but because of its class: it's a body-on-frame SUV with permanent all-wheel drive that is more confident off-road than any crossover. The Delica 2020 is the only minivan in the lineup, and its price is justified when a group of 6-7 people is traveling: one car instead of two crossovers works out cheaper and is more convenient on the road. For rentals of a week or more, the price is lower — we quote the exact amount on WhatsApp.
Which Mitsubishi model to choose for the job: city, mountains, cargo, group
You choose a Mitsubishi model not by price but by the task. Let's look at four typical rental scenarios in Almaty and show which car covers each one.
For the city and short trips: Mirage 2019
For the city and short trips, people at Rent-Trip take the Mitsubishi Mirage 2019 from 13,990 ₸/day — a compact automatic hatchback that parks easily in central Almaty. Its body length lets you fit into narrow spots on Abay and Dostyk, where crossovers spend ten minutes looking for a place. City fuel consumption is among the lowest in the fleet, which shows on daily routes. The Mirage is economical and convenient on narrow streets, but it isn't designed for long routes: low ground clearance and a small trunk limit the scenarios. If the mountains or the highway to Kolsai are in your plans, it's better to look at a crossover right away. In our experience, the Mirage is most often taken by business travelers and those who need a car "for two days of errands."
For the mountains and off-road: Pajero 2015, L200, Outlander
For Medeu, Shymbulak and long routes, people at Rent-Trip take the Pajero 2015 from 44,990 ₸, the L200 2021 from 34,990 ₸ or the Outlander 2022 from 34,990 ₸ — all with all-wheel drive. On winding roads and mountain passes, what matters more than power is ground clearance and the type of drive: the Pajero and L200 are more confident on gravel and rocky climbs, while the Outlander is more comfortable on the asphalt highway to Charyn Canyon and Kolsai Lake. The L200 with its pickup bed is convenient if you're carrying gear, tents or bicycles. When descending from Shymbulak along the winding road in winter, all-wheel drive and winter tires are not an option but a necessity: ice on the pass lasts from November to March. Before heading into the mountains, check tire pressure and coolant level — on a climb that matters more than a reserve of power.
For cargo and large groups: L200 and Delica
For transporting cargo, Rent-Trip has the Mitsubishi L200 pickup — the 2016 version from 28,990 ₸ and the 2021 from 34,990 ₸, both with an open bed and all-wheel drive. For a group of 6-7 people, there's the Delica 2020 minivan from 58,990 ₸ with three rows of seats and a transformable interior. The L200 is taken for moving furniture, delivering building materials to a dacha in the foothills, or transporting motorcycles. The Delica covers family outings and corporate groups: in effect it's one car instead of two, which saves both budget and space in the convoy. In our orders, the Delica most often goes out for the weekend — from Friday to Sunday, when families head to Kolsai or the gorge. The deposit for both models is 100,000 ₸, returned within 1-3 business days after drop-off without damage or fines.
Scenario → model: a quick selection matrix
| Task | Model | Price, ₸/day |
|---|---|---|
| City, 1-2 days | Mitsubishi Mirage 2019 | from 13,990 |
| Mountains, budget | Mitsubishi Outlander 2016 | from 27,990 |
| Cargo + off-road | Mitsubishi L200 2016 | from 28 990 |
| Highway + mountains | Mitsubishi Outlander 2022 | from 34,990 |
| Cargo, newer version | Mitsubishi L200 2021 | from 34,990 |
| Serious off-road | Mitsubishi Pajero 2015 | from 44 990 |
| Group of 6-7 people | Mitsubishi Delica 2020 | from 58,990 |
Mitsubishi in the mountains and on the highway: Medeu, Shymbulak, Charyn, Kolsai
Almaty is a rare city where real mountain routes begin an hour from the office. Let's look at how Mitsubishi models handle each direction and what to consider before setting out.
Medeu and Shymbulak: a short climb with a steep switchback road
A switchback road with an elevation gain of about 1000 meters and many blind turns leads to Medeu and Shymbulak. The Mitsubishi Outlander 2022 and Pajero 2015 handle it confidently: all-wheel drive and 190-215 mm ground clearance maintain traction on the climb. In winter the road is covered with snow and ice, in summer it's dry asphalt with rocky shoulders. The brakes heat up on the descent: use a lower gear rather than constant pedal braking. Parking at the skating rink and cable car is paid, and spots run out by 10 a.m. on weekends. If you're traveling as a group, the Delica 2020 covers the trip with one vehicle — on a narrow switchback road that's more convenient than a convoy of two crossovers.
Charyn Canyon: 200 km of highway and a dirt-road finale
To Charyn Canyon it's about 200 km along the A-351 highway, with the last 10-15 km on dirt and a rocky descent. The Mitsubishi L200 2021 and L200 2016 with pickup beds and all-wheel drive handle this section without problems: high ground clearance and a short wheelbase help on rough terrain. The Outlander 2016 and Outlander 2022 also manage, but require careful driving on rocks — take care of the tires and rims. The rate includes up to 200 km per day, so a trip to Charyn fits exactly within the limit; beyond the limit there's an extra charge per kilometer, the amount is specified in the contract. Fill up with a full tank in Almaty: gas stations are rare along the highway, and the last decent one is 60 km before the canyon.
Kolsai Lake and a trip to Kyrgyzstan: a long-distance route
To Kolsai Lake it's about 280 km one way through Shelek and mountain passes, part of the road is dirt. For this route it's better to take the Mitsubishi Pajero 2015 or Outlander 2022: a long drive requires both comfort and a margin of off-road capability. At the border with Kyrgyzstan through the Kordai checkpoint you need the vehicle's registration certificate — we issue it together with the contract and insurance. In winter the passes are closed during heavy snowfall, in summer mudflow restrictions are possible. Travel to Kyrgyzstan is arranged in advance: message your route and dates on WhatsApp, and we'll prepare the documents. On a long highway trip, check the oil level before departure — on the Pajero 2015 with high mileage, consumption may be higher than the rated figure.
Durability, reliability and operation of Mitsubishi in Almaty's climate
Almaty's climate means heat up to +38 in summer, snow and ice in winter, mountain switchback roads and city traffic jams. Let's look at how the Mitsubishis handle this and what's included in preparing the car before handover.
Service life and maintenance of the models in our fleet
All 7 Mitsubishi models at Rent-Trip undergo scheduled maintenance every 10,000 km, and before each handover — a 25-point inspection. The schedule includes oil and filter changes, brake system diagnostics, suspension checks and fluid level checks. The automatic transmissions on the Mirage and Outlander require an oil change every 60,000 km, on the L200 and Pajero — every 80,000 km in city use. Consumables for Mitsubishi in Almaty are available from official suppliers and at specialized markets — the car doesn't sit idle waiting for parts. In our experience, the most trouble-free in terms of service life is the L200 line: the 4D56 and 4N15 diesel engines run 300,000 km without a major overhaul. The Pajero 2015 with the 6G72 gasoline engine requires attention to the cooling system in summer.
Winter and summer preparation: what we do before handover
- Winter tires: from November to March all cars are fitted with studded or friction tires — you can't do without them on the switchback road to Shymbulak.
- Battery: we check with a load tester before every winter handover — at -15°C a weak battery won't start the engine.
- Antifreeze: concentration and freezing point are checked before the cold season, topped up if necessary.
- Air conditioning: in summer we check the refrigerant and compressor operation — in traffic jams on Abay it's tough without air conditioning.
- Brake pads: we measure the remaining thickness before handover for trips to the mountains — on the descent from Medeu this is critical.
- Glass and wipers: in winter we change the wipers to winter ones, check the heating of the glass and mirrors.
Pre-handover inspection: what we record in the report
Before each handover we conduct a 25-point inspection and record the condition in the handover-acceptance report. The inspection includes the body for chips and scratches, the interior condition, the operation of all electronic systems, fluid levels, tire pressure. In the report we note the mileage at the time of handover and the fuel level. The client inspects the car together with our employee and signs the document — this protects both parties upon return. The rate includes up to 200 km per day, OSAGO insurance and 24/7 support. The deposit depends on the class: 50,000 ₸ for economy, 100,000 ₸ for SUVs and minivans, refunded within 1-3 business days after return without damage or fines.
What's included in a Mitsubishi rental and how to book
Let's look at what exactly is included in the rate, how booking works and what to prepare before the car is handed over.

How to book: step-by-step procedure
1. Model selection: you choose a model based on the task — city, mountains, cargo or a group, and state the year of the version. 2. Request via WhatsApp: you message us the model, dates and handover time — we confirm availability and the exact price. 3. Documents: you need an ID, a driver's licence with at least 2 years of experience, and a vehicle registration certificate (we issue it upon rental). 4. Contract: you sign the rental agreement, pay the deposit and the payment for the period. 5. Inspection and handover: you inspect the car together with an employee, sign the acceptance-transfer act, and take the keys. 6. Return: you return the car with a full tank and without damage, the deposit is refunded within 1-3 business days.
Delivery and timing: how it works
We deliver the car to Almaty airport, to the 'Almaty-1' and 'Almaty-2' railway stations, to the office or to an address within the city. Delivery within the city is free for rentals of two days or more, to the airport — by arrangement. We confirm the booking on WhatsApp, and there we also agree on the exact time and place of handover. If your flight is delayed — let us know in advance, the car will wait for you. The minimum rental period is one day, for a week or more the price is lower, we quote the exact amount on WhatsApp. Payment — in cash, by card or via Kaspi and Halyk. Support 24/7 is in touch for all questions on the road: from a punctured tyre to route advice.
Conclusion
Mitsubishi in rental — a brand with a good balance: affordable consumables, automatic transmissions on all models, all-wheel drive even in the higher versions of crossovers and pickups. The line-up of 7 cars covers four typical scenarios — city, mountains, cargo and a large group. For short trips the Mirage 2019 is enough, for the mountains and highway the Outlander and L200 are suitable, for a group of 6-7 people — the Delica 2020.
When choosing a model, focus on the task, not just the price: to Charyn or Kolsai it is better to go with all-wheel drive and high ground clearance, while around central Almaty a compact hatchback will save both fuel and parking time. Before heading to the mountains, check the tyre pressure, coolant level and brake operation — on a winding mountain road these parameters matter more than power reserves.
