Get your luggage, exit Saransk Airport (SKX), and pick up your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on where you’re headed. If you’ll be mainly driving in downtown Saransk, around 3 miles from the terminal, consider something small. A compact car that’s easy to operate will be perfect for those busy city streets. But with loads of things to see, like the beautiful steppes of the region, you may want to make a few pit stops. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips a joy.
