Tolmachevo Airport, officially known as Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport, is located in the town of Ob, approximately 16 miles from the city of Novosibirsk, Russia’s third-largest city. Serving more than 5 million passengers every year, it's one of the country's busiest airports. It provides a number of international and domestic flights, making it an essential hub in Russia.
Having your own hire car in Russia can significantly improve your travel experience. Good news, there is a wide range of car rental companies stationed at Tolmachevo Airport like Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Europcar. These offer a variety of vehicles for your needs, ranging from compact cars suitable for city driving to SUVs for those planning to explore the surrounding Siberian landscapes.
Driving in Russia is a unique experience and quite different from the UK. The major difference - Russians drive on the right-hand side. It's important to remain diligent and cautious as road conditions and traffic rules can greatly differ.
Lukoil and Gazprom fuel stations are found within a short drive from the airport. Don't forget, unlike the UK, petrol stations in Russia often close at night, so keep your tank full.
The primary route into Novosibirsk from Tolmachevo Airport is via the P316 highway, offering a direct and straightforward drive. The M51 Highway, also known as ‘Baikal Highway’, runs across Siberia and provides a stretch of the Trans-Siberian Highway, a thrilling option for the more adventurous.
Novosibirsk experiences a humid continental climate, so pack accordingly. The currency is the Russian Ruble (RUB). Credit cards are accepted widely, but it’s always useful to have local cash on hand for small vendors or emergencies.
While Novosibirsk offers ample attractions, your hire car allows the freedom to explore beyond. Visit the smaller surrounding cities like Berdsk and Akademgorodok or make a day trip to the stunning Novosibirsk Reservoir.
Explore Russia at your own pace with your hire car and make your trip an unforgettable one!
