Some hotels will make car-rental arrangements for you. Otherwise, several international car-rental agencies have offices in Moscow; be sure to reserve at least three days in advance. Avis rents several European and American makes. Budget rents various Fords and minivans. Hertz rents Fords and many other makes; for a fee you can have the car delivered to you. Hertz and Budget also rent cars with drivers, which may be a better option unless you are an experienced driver; driving in Moscow is not unlike a big game of chicken.
