We were two people and one bicycle hitching to Almaty. As soon as we were waiting at the street there where cars and truck stopping. A friendly truckdriver took us with all our bags and bicycle. He was super friendly!―Anonymous

As carpooling is common in Kazakhstan, don't forget to explain the driver that you are HHing and not going to pay for the ride.―Canaydemir

Just by the seti entrance arch. With thumb, in rain, getting dark. After a few rejections a driver stopped. ItI was in a hurry so happy to pay, and I had been told the rate was 5000 (10 Euro) so offered him that. He accepted but said it was small. At the end of the ride a kazakh hitchhiker paid him 2000 ( they gave him 5000 and he gave 3000 Change. Either him saying my payment was small was sarcasm, or it's the usual ripoff for tourists. Still dngaf. Zero English and it was rainy af.

Lots of traffic, gas station and a toilet. Lots of police too but they did not care about me. Took less than 5min to get a ride.―GermanyToIndia
