We made that move about two years ago and honestly the townhouse format has worked out really well for us. The communities tend to be built with families in mind, shared pools, parks, and proximity to decent schools is usually a big factor in where these developments get built. Way more space than an equivalent apartment for similar money too.

In this regard, advance preparation is crucial. An international driver’s license, along with a regular driver’s license, is a mandatory requirement that most rental companies strictly enforce. Additionally, booking in advance allows you to secure a significantly better rate than what is offered at the airport on the day of departure. 

Hey everyone, so me and a friend are seriously considering Kazakhstan for our summer travels this year and honestly the more I read about it the more excited I get. The landscapes look absolutely insane. We're thinking about renting a car to get around properly rather than being stuck on bus schedules. Anyone done rent a car in Kazakhstan before? Is it straightforward for tourists or does it come with a bunch of complications?
