Pick up your car at TAS after landing and drive straight into Tashkent or beyond
Tashkent International Airport - also called Islam Karimov Airport, IATA code TAS - sits about 12 km south of the city centre. The single terminal handles both international and domestic arrivals. Exit north via the A-373 road and you reach central districts like Yunusabad, Mirzo Ulugbek and Chilanzar in 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic.
Pickup happens in two ways: a driver holds a sign with your name in the arrivals hall, or you walk to a rental desk inside the terminal - your voucher tells you which. Either way you hand over your licence and the voucher, sign the rental agreement, inspect the vehicle and drive off. Give your flight number during booking so the local company tracks delays and waits for you. The M39 highway to Samarkand and Bukhara starts from the southern ring road, meaning you can head west without entering the city at all.
This page covers airport pickup only - terminal procedures, the A-373 exit route and onward highways. If you need details on navigating Tashkent itself, visit our Tashkent city page. For a broader picture of renting across Uzbekistan, start at the main overview.
The process from landing to driving takes 15-30 minutes if your documents are ready and the flight is on time.
Collect your luggage, pass through customs and exit into the arrivals hall. Check your voucher for the exact meeting point or desk location.
Look for a driver holding a sign with your name, or walk to the rental desk inside the terminal. The voucher sent after booking explains which method applies to your reservation.
Present your driving licence and voucher. The agent prints a rental agreement listing existing scratches and damage. Walk around the car, photograph anything not recorded, then sign the contract.
Receive the keys, load your bags and exit the car park. Follow signs to A-373 north for Tashkent or the ring road for intercity highways.

Small details make the difference between a smooth handover and a scramble in the terminal.
Some cars at TAS require neither a blocked deposit nor a credit card. Each vehicle carries its own terms - check the search results carefully.
Run a search in the widget above. Each result shows a payment badge: "No deposit" means the rental company will not block funds on your card; "Debit card or cash" means you can pay the balance without a credit card. Both conditions appear on some cars but not all. Read the "Payment terms" section under each listing to confirm.
Remember that "no deposit" and collision liability are separate. A deductible still applies if damage occurs; you simply avoid the upfront hold.
When you reserve online, 4Drive takes a booking advance by card to guarantee your vehicle. The remaining sum is due at the airport desk or meet-and-greet point. The voucher lists which methods the local company accepts - debit card, cash or credit card - so you know what to bring.
