The road between Aktobe and [[Aralsk]] is terrible, with little asphalt. Vehicles get stuck in the mud all the time and crossing the country this way can take days.
Some drivers of small cars, typically only going a short distance out of cities, will demand money. However, long-distance lifts are typically free. Inside of cities, especially in Almaty it is very common to stop cars and use them as private taxi. This means that you have to leave the city to start hitching, inside it will cause a lot of headache.Experiences in Kazakhstan are different, some people had problems with drivers asking for money again and again, while for others it was no issue at all.For sure whereever you hitch, drivers will stop fast and the ironic fact is that somebody might wants to charge you for a 3 km lift, while the next driver takes you 1200 km from Almaty to Astana and this will be for free. Nevertheless a very good country for hitching, especially to cover long distances.
