Im interested in renting a car during my stay in St. Petersburg? Can anyone recommend some companies I can contact about this? Also, what documents would a US citizen need to drive legally in Russia?

Avis and Hertz are there and possibly a few other of the internationals. Go with one of these.

You will need an international driving permit which will have a Russian page in it and your drivers licence. If you are a novice to driving in Russia and do not speak the language,also carry a ready supply of 100 ruble notes, to pay "fines".

I highly recommend forgetting the idea and using transport. Have a look at some of the threads on driving in Russia for more info.
