Prices start at 80 manats, and no driver’s license is required. Daily, weekly and monthly rentals are offered without driving experience, including for all types of cars.
“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports, citing Khazar TV, that some rent-a-car companies have recently advertised on social media that they rent out cars without requiring a driver’s license. They say applicants only need to be at least 18 years old.
Asked by customers, “How do you rent cars to people without experience?”, the companies reportedly respond that they assess how the person drives.
Do these rental companies realize the risks they create by attracting customers with enticing offers, and that they are breaking the law?
The Main State Traffic Police Department has issued a warning to the operators. It said rental companies should not be satisfied simply with checking that a customer has a driver’s license; they should also make sure the person has sufficient driving experience.
