Kazan International Airport (KZN) is the main hub serving the Republic of Tatarstan in Russia. Located 25 kilometres from the centre of Kazan city, the airport is the 15th busiest in Russia, boasting modern facilities and a wide range of services for travellers.
Several international and local car rental agencies operate at KZN. You have options like Avis, Europcar, Sixt and local provider RentMotors. It's advised to book your desired vehicle in advance, especially during high season.
Here are some car class recommendations based on common needs:
In Russia, driving is on the right-hand side of the road, opposite to the UK. Importantly, all documents, including a driver's licence, should be in Russian or have a certified Russian translation. So, for British drivers, an International Driving Permit is required.
The main route from the airport to Kazan city centre is via the P239 highway, a journey that typically takes around 40 minutes. Be aware that heavy traffic is possible during holidays and peak hours. Hence, GPS navigation can prove useful.
Plenty of filling stations are available near the airport and en route to the city, including Lukoil and Tatneft, with 24-hour service.
Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, offers a blend of Russian and Tatar cultures. While the local currency is the Russian Ruble, English is not widely spoken outside the major cities.
Major attractions you should consider visiting include the Kazan Kremlin, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Kul Sharif Mosque. Driving your rental car will let you explore these wonders at your own pace.
Tatarstan's climate is moderate continental with cold winters and warm summers. Please plan your clothing according to the season of your visit and check local weather forecasts.
