My TV channel just gave me a new assignment to shoot a mini documentary about the communities living in the steppe regions of Kazakhstan. There are still people out there keeping the traditional nomadic lifestyle alive. I need to drive out to their settlements and get some good footage of their daily routines. I will be staying at a hotel in Astana and need a proper vehicle to commute back and forth safely. How do vehicle rentals work in that country and where can I find a truly dependable ride for this project?

Television production sounds like a dream job for a lot of guys. Those vast open landscapes look absolutely stunning on camera. The actual drive out of Astana gets pretty wild though. The pavement just vanishes a few miles outside the city limits. You gotta get a four wheel drive with serious ground clearance. Standard tires get completely destroyed on those dirt tracks very quickly.
