Explore the capital and beyond with delivery to your hotel or district in Yunusabad, Mirzo Ulugbek and Chilanzar.
Tashkent is a grid of wide avenues - Amir Temur Avenue, Shakhrisabz Street and Mustaqillik Avenue - lined with Soviet mosaics and new glass towers. The metro moves commuters underground, but a car lets you reach districts like Yunusabad, Mirzo Ulugbek and Chilanzar without waiting for marshrutkas. You can drive to Chimgan Mountains in 90 minutes or Charvak Reservoir in under two hours.
We list cars in Tashkent where no deposit is required and some accept a debit card or cash for the remaining balance. Each car shows its own requirements on the results page: some need a credit card for the excess waiver, others let you pay the rest at pick-up with a debit card or banknotes. You pay a booking advance online by card when you reserve; the balance and any add-ons - a second driver, a child seat, written permission for cross-border travel to neighbouring countries - are settled when you collect the keys.
Pick-up happens in the district you choose: a rental desk near your hotel in Yunusabad or Mirzo Ulugbek, delivery to your lobby, or a counter at Tashkent Airport if you fly direct to TAS. The local company hands over the car, records scratches in the rental agreement and gives you a voucher with their contact details. You select the collection time during booking; the method and location appear in your confirmation.
For a wider choice across Uzbekistan car rental options, compare models and mileage limits in the search widget above. Summer in Tashkent pushes past 40 degrees Celsius, so air conditioning is not optional. Winter stays mild in the city but snow dusts the Chimgan peaks an hour away.
Choose a district close to your hotel or collect the car on arrival at the airport; delivery and desk locations depend on the company you book with.
TAS sits about 12 km south of the city centre along the A-373 road, a 20-30 minute drive depending on traffic. Rental desks operate inside the terminal; some companies meet you outside with a sign. If you need the car immediately and your flight lands early, the airport counter saves a taxi ride into town.
Most visitors stay in Yunusabad near Chorsu or along the metro line in Mirzo Ulugbek. We arrange delivery to your hotel lobby or a nearby office; the driver brings the paperwork, inspects the car with you and hands over the keys. Chilanzar and the old city are also covered. Select your hotel address at checkout and the system confirms whether delivery is available.
Offices near Amir Temur Square and the Broadway pedestrian street offer walk-in collection if you prefer to meet at a fixed address. The ring roads and Mustaqillik Avenue link the centre to residential blocks and the M39 motorway west toward Samarkand. Parking zones and public garages are marked; street parking fills quickly during office hours.
Tashkent sits at the centre of Uzbekistan's road network; you can reach mountain resorts in 90 minutes, Samarkand's blue domes in four hours, or trace the Silk Road east into the Fergana Valley.
The Chimgan range rises 80 km north-east of Tashkent along the A-373, a paved mountain road that climbs through walnut groves and summer camps. In winter, Beldersay cable car carries skiers; in summer, hikers follow trails above the tree line. The drive takes about 90 minutes. Any saloon or crossover handles the asphalt curves; if you plan gravel side-tracks to higher valleys, a Haval Jolion or Chevrolet Tracker adds clearance. Petrol stations thin out past Gazalkent, so fill the tank in the suburbs.
Charvak's turquoise water sits in a dam valley about 90 km from the capital, a 10 km detour north from the Chimgan road. Beach resorts and boat rentals line the shore; cafes serve plov under plane trees. The paved access road is smooth; a Chevrolet Cobalt or BYD e2 city car manages the trip comfortably. Weekends draw crowds from Tashkent, so early starts claim quieter spots. Combine Charvak with Chimgan in a single loop for mountain and water in one day.
The M39 motorway runs 340 km west through the Hungry Steppe to Samarkand, a four-hour drive on flat, dual-lane asphalt. Registan Square, Shah-i-Zinda and Gur-Emir are best explored over two days; book a hotel and leave the car in guarded parking. Speed limits reach 100-110 km/h; police radar is common near Jizzakh. A Hyundai Elantra or Chevrolet Malibu cruises efficiently; for families, a Kia Carnival or Chevrolet Orlando adds luggage space. Fuel stops cluster around Jizzakh and Navoi.
The road east to Fergana climbs the Kamchik Pass, a 19 km tunnel and mountain highway about 330 km from Tashkent. The valley beyond grows apricots, silk and ceramics; Kokand, Margilan and Fergana city each hold historic madrasahs and workshops. The drive takes around five hours including the tunnel toll. Asphalt is good throughout; a sedan like a Chevrolet Monza or Kia K3 suffices. If you detour to Rishtan pottery kilns on unpaved lanes, consider a crossover such as a Haval M6.
Zangiota shrine lies about 15 km south of Tashkent, a short pilgrimage stop with a turquoise dome. Zomin National Park sits 100-150 km further south in the Turkestan Range foothills, offering walnut forests and cool summer air. The route follows the M39 then turns onto secondary asphalt; gravel tracks inside the park suit a 4x4 and SUV rental like a BYD Chazor or Chevrolet Captiva. Plan a full day to combine both sites and return before dark.
Nuratau ridges stand about 250 km south-west; the paved M39 reaches Navoi, then a secondary road climbs to mountain villages and Aydar Lake's salt shore. Guest houses in Sentob and Yangikishlek offer homestays; petroglyphs mark ancient trails. The round trip is a long day or an overnight adventure. Road quality drops on the final approach, so a crossover with higher clearance - Chevrolet Tracker, Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, Haval Jolion - improves comfort. Carry extra water and snacks.
The fleet in Tashkent spans city runabouts for errands in Yunusabad, family crossovers for Chimgan trips and larger SUVs for gravel exploration; each model lists its fuel policy, mileage and deposit requirement in the search results.

No-deposit availability varies by season and supplier; use the "No Deposit" filter in the widget to see which cars qualify today. Mileage limits, fuel policy and insurance excess appear on each listing; compare details before you confirm. For clarity on how the booking advance and final payment and advance work, visit our dedicated page.
Tashkent's wide avenues feel open, but traffic thickens during morning and evening commutes; patience and local awareness keep drives smooth.
No deposit means the rental company does not block a sum on your card as a damage guarantee; the damage excess still applies if you scratch the car, but your card stays clear during the rental period.
Each car in the search results shows a green "No Deposit" badge if the supplier waives the hold. Toggle the filter in the widget to see only those cars. Requirements for the final balance - debit card, cash or credit card - appear on the listing and in your voucher; they vary by model, not by class, so a Chevrolet Spark might accept cash while a Haval Jolion in the same search needs a credit card.
Bring your driving licence, passport and the booking voucher you receive by email. The desk clerk checks the documents, walks around the car with you to note existing scratches in the rental agreement, then hands over the keys. If the balance is due, you pay at that moment by the method stated in your confirmation. Add-ons like a child seat or written permission for cross-border travel are also paid on site.
For a full explanation of how the online booking advance works and what you pay when, read our payment methods guide. Not every car offers no-deposit terms; search widely and book early to secure the model you want.
Answers to common queries about renting a car in Tashkent, from pick-up locations to mountain drives and payment methods.
Yes, some cars accept a debit card or cash for the final balance. Each listing shows the accepted payment methods; filter by "No Credit Card" to see eligible models. You still pay the booking advance online by card when you reserve.

You can collect at Tashkent International Airport, arrange delivery to your hotel in Yunusabad, Mirzo Ulugbek or Chilanzar, or visit a city-centre desk near Amir Temur Square. The exact location depends on the supplier you book; delivery availability appears during checkout.
The M39 motorway covers 340 km in about four hours on flat, dual-lane asphalt. Speed limits reach 100-110 km/h; police radar is active near Jizzakh. A sedan like a Hyundai Elantra or Chevrolet Malibu handles the route comfortably. Fill up in Tashkent or Jizzakh; fuel stops are regular.
The A-373 to Chimgan is fully paved; any saloon or crossover manages the drive. If you plan gravel side-tracks to higher valleys or Beldersay, a Haval Jolion or Chevrolet Tracker adds clearance. In winter, snow chains may be required; ask the rental company at pick-up.
Cross-border travel to neighbouring countries requires written permission from the rental company; request it when you book and pay the fee at pick-up. Not all suppliers allow it, and insurance coverage may differ outside Uzbekistan. Border guards will check the document.
Rates depend on the model, season and rental length; the search widget above shows live prices for your dates. You pay a booking advance online when you reserve, then settle the balance at pick-up by the method listed in your voucher - debit card, cash or credit card.
