So, you are coming to the Russian Federation and you want to drive car here to be independent and avoid of crowded public transport. No problems, there are few tips for you which will help you understand some specific rules and traditions.
The first question that usually a foreigner has when he`s going to drive a car in the other country is "Does my driver license fit for this country?". For Russia it`s usually "Yes". Based on this answer published on the official site of GIBDD (Main Directorate for Road Traffic Safety - Traffic Police) your Driver Licence (DL) is valid in the RF if your country accept Russian DL. Also, you have to have a paper with translation in Russian of your DL in case your DL is not written in Latin letters or doesn`t has a translation in Latin on it (hope, it`s clear).
So, you`ve got a valid DL. Now you need a car. I suppose you`re going to rent a car so there are plenty of car rental companies. For example, now Hertz has offices in Moscow, St Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Kazan and in 14 cities more.
