Depends where you plan on driving. The roads are notoriously unsafe in the winter.

If you are going to kivrei tzadikim I would just hire a driver for the day (I can provide contact details)
If you are just driving between larger cities like Kiev, Kharkov, Uman & Odessa then a rental should be fine.
