Damage coverage

Accidents can happen in an instant. That’s why we recommend adding damage coverage to your booking. It costs €37 per day and per vehicle and covers the vehicle whenever you or another driver from your group is behind the wheel.

If you don’t choose this option, you’ll need to pay a €1,000 deposit before departure. In the event of damage, you may be charged up to €3,000.

Car FAQ

How to get the Russian translation of the driver’s license?

To obtain the Russian translation of your driver’s license (necessary for all drivers in case of a police check).

Two options:

Option 1 – The translation is already included in your international driver’s license
Some international driver’s licenses already have a Russian translation page. If this is the case for you, no additional steps are needed.

Option 2 – Your international license does not contain a Russian translation
In this case, we can arrange for an official translation by a notary in Bishkek before your arrival.

To do this, you will need to send us (via email to info@kyrgyzstannomads.com) in a single pdf:

  • a scan of your passport (main page);
  • a scan of your national driver’s license.

Photos are not accepted. Documents must be scanned to ensure readability.

The translation will be provided to you by our vehicle rental partner when you pick up your car. The cost is €17 per driver, to be paid in cash on site.

How to get an international driver’s permit?

An International Driving Permit (IDP) can be obtained from the designated authority in your country of residence (such as your national automobile association or driving licence authority).

When applying, make sure you receive the official multilingual IDP in the standard booklet format. This version usually includes several translations, including Russian.

We recommend checking this point well in advance to avoid any inconvenience during your trip.

Should I take out damage waiver?

An accident can happen quickly, which is why we recommend adding a damage waiver to your booking. This coverage will cost you €37 per day and ensures the vehicle while a member of your team is driving. By selecting this coverage, you won’t have to pay a deposit.

If you choose not to take the coverage, you will need to pay a deposit of €1000 before your departure, and a deductible of up to €3000 may be required in case of damage.

How old do I need to be to be able to drive?

For this trip, you must be at least 23 years old and have held a driving licence for 3 years.

What does the roadbook contain?

The roadbook includes the general itinerary that takes you through the most iconic sites of the country, as well as anecdotes, tips, and recommendations from our team. It will serve as your guide to explore Kyrgyzstan. While suggested stops are provided, you’ll have the freedom to adjust the route to your preferences and add extra stops.

Is there on-site support?

On arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by our local partners. They will greet you and give you a brief introduction before your trip begins.

You will also be given access to a chat group with all the other participants departing on the same date just before you set off. You can use this group to chat with each other or with our team.
