Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Baku car hire policy, whether with Car Hire Baku or a different supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.
Booking one-way could score you a discount on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower prices when vehicles need to be moved between branches. Just click 'Return car to a different location' when searching the range of cars for rent in Baku.

Good to know
Age requirements for rentals vary by supplier and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Azerbaijan may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.
If you're bringing the kids along, check if you need to add a car seat to your Baku car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.
You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: a current driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards usually aren't accepted. Any extra must-haves will be shown in your booking.
If you haven't driven before in Azerbaijan, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.
Keep within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 55kph in urban areas and 100kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
In Azerbaijan, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.03%. If you intend to drink, pass the keys to someone else or arrange a ride-share or taxi instead.
