Renting a Car in Argentina: 17 Helpful Tips and Tricks in 2024

Renting a car in Argentina is one of the best ways to explore this huge, beautiful country.

In a country that spans over 3,800 kilometres (2,300 miles) from north to south, having your own transportation can be incredibly handy. Whether you’re planning on driving through the north of the country, exploring rural towns or cruising around Patagonia, renting a car will give you the freedom and flexibility to create your own adventure and explore the highlights of Argentina .

I lived in Argentina for two years and, while we owned a car in Buenos Aires, we always rented cars when we flew to other cities in Argentina. (It’s much easier to fly and rent a car rather than drive for two days straight – this country is BIG!)

It can seem confusing to rent a car in a foreign country, especially a country where you may not speak the language. So, to help you out, here are some tips and suggestions for renting a car in Argentina.

Best Argentina car rental company: DiscoverCars

When booking your Argentina car rental online,  I recommend and use DiscoverCars . They search international rental brands and local companies, so you get the best deal. They have car rental locations all over Argentina.

1. When should you rent a car in Argentina?

If you plan on spending most of your time in cities like Buenos Aires or Mendoza, renting a car doesn’t make much sense.

Public transport is reliable in these cities – and it may actually be cheaper to use taxis or buses rather than renting a car. In Buenos Aires, Uber is cheap and there’s a good subway system. It’s also very walkable (check out my Buenos Aires itinerary , which uses your feet and public transport).

However, if you’re planning on getting out of the city and exploring more remote places in Argentina , then renting a car is definitely worth considering. This especially applies to those wanting to drive along the famous Ruta Nacional 40 (National Route 40) which runs along the spine of Argentina from north to south or who want to explore Patagonia.

Long-distance buses do traverse most of the country’s roads and are affordable, but you’re at the whim of their fixed schedules, especially if you’ve only got a short time in the country (like only 2 weeks ).

You’re also limited in how you can get around when you arrive at your destination. In remote areas, the attractions are usually spread out, so you’ll need some form of transport to get around.

Do I need to rent a car in Buenos Aires?

I would not recommend renting a car in Buenos Aires!

Driving in Buenos Aires is chaotic. Drivers are pretty aggressive, parking is a nightmare and there are just too many things that could go wrong in a city that you’re not familiar with. Bus drivers think they own the roads and cars rarely give way to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings. There are a lot of one-way streets and the street signs are just so different to what you’re used to back home.

Trust me! We owned a car in Buenos Aires and while it was great for getting out of the city to visit an estancia near Buenos Aires for the weekend, it usually stayed in our parking garage.

There are plenty of things to do in Buenos Aires that don’t require a car. It’s easy to get around the city on public transport or your own two feet.

2. Is it safe to drive in Argentina?

Driving in Argentina is generally pretty safe.

Drivers can be aggressive, but outside of the cities, you’ll find the roads are much more stress-free, with less traffic to contend with.

In rural areas, roads are often unpaved or in poor condition, so you have to keep your wits about you.

The hairiest experience we had was driving up to Iruya in northern Argentina . It’s very steep and the road isn’t wide, so it was quite nerve-wracking squeezing past cars as we anxiously looked down at the sharp drop below!

Avoid driving at night because roads usually aren’t well-lit. There’s also the danger of wild animals crossing the road – they can be hard to see in the dark.

3. How much does renting a car in Argentina cost?

Renting a car in Argentina will cost you anywhere between US$350 and US$550 a week , depending on the type of car and time of year.

For larger cars and 4×4 vehicles, you’ll be paying more than US$700 a week.

That’s probably double what you’d pay in the United States, so, yes, car rental in Argentina can be expensive.

But for me, the freedom of being on your own schedule and being able to go where you want outweighs the cost.

4. How old do you have to be to rent a car?

The minimum age to rent a car in Argentina is 18, but some rental companies may require you to be 21 or even 25 or older.

There are often “young driver” fees if you’re under 25.

Specific rental car companies in Argentina may have their own age restrictions and requirements, so be sure to check with the specific company you plan to rent from before making a reservation.

You can easily do this on a site like DiscoverCars. Just click “Rental conditions” under each car, which lays out age requirements.

5. What documents do you need to rent a car?

You don’t need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Argentina.

But you do have to have a valid driver’s license that’s in a Latin alphabet (ie. English, Spanish, Italian etc).

If your license is in a non-Roman alphabet (Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic etc), you’ll need an IDP, plus your original driver’s license.

You’ll probably also need to show your passport. This varies from company to company, so it’s best to have it on hand just in case.

And, of course, you’ll need a credit card in your name to cover the rental fees and any additional charges.

6. What kind of car do I need in Argentina?

For most road trips in Argentina, a regular car will be just fine. A 4×4 is usually unnecessary.

Our north Argentina road trip took us to some pretty remote parts on unpaved roads, and we were completely fine with the compact 2WD we rented.

Check the roads where you’ll be driving and make a call about the type of rental car in Argentina you’ll need.

Not renting a 4×4 will save you a lot of money!

Most rental cars in Argentina will be compact or “economy” vehicles, but there are larger cars available if you’re travelling in a group or with a lot of luggage.

One important point to note is that most cars in Argentina have manual transmissions, so if you’re not comfortable driving a manual car, be sure to specifically request an automatic transmission when booking your rental car. They will usually cost a bit more.

7. How to choose the right car rental company

I recommend DiscoverCars to check rental cars across all the major brands.

It’s easy to search across multiple car rental car companies, rather than going to each individually. For Argentina, you can compare and rent cars across all the brands you’re familiar with: Sixt, Hertz, Avis, Europcar and more.

Of course, you’ll also need to do your own research.

Check customer reviews to see what other travellers have to say about their experiences with different car rental companies. Look for reviews that mention customer service, vehicle quality and pricing.

On the DiscoverCars website, you can filter by supplier rating. I wouldn’t rent from a location that has less than a 7 out of 10 stars rating – you get what you pay for, as they say!

Look carefully at the pricing, as well. What you see may not be the entire picture. Some car rental companies may have lower base prices, but charge extra fees for things like insurance or additional drivers. Make sure to read the fine print and understand all the costs before hitting the book button.

CHECK PRICES AND AVAILABILITY ON DISCOVERCARS NOW

8. What kind of insurance do you need?

Rental car companies in Argentina are required by law to provide some level of insurance coverage. This is usually just third-party liability insurance.

However, this insurance may not cover damage to the rental car itself, so you may need to purchase additional insurance to protect yourself.

With DiscoverCars you can add full insurance coverage for around US$8 or US$9 a day.

Always, always read the fine print to understand what’s included and what’s not included. You don’t want to end up with a nasty bill if there’s an accident or theft.

Your travel insurance provider  may also cover you for car rental. Again, read the policy in detail to understand what’s covered.

If you’ve got a credit card that offers rental car insurance, you may be able to decline the optional insurance coverage offered by the rental car company. But check with your credit card company first.

The same goes for your car insurance provider back home. Some companies will cover you for rental cars overseas, which could be a great way to save some money. Check if Argentina is included in your policy.

9. What’s the best way to rent a car in Argentina?

I always rent a car online . In Argentina, it meant I could read everything in English and not get caught out if I misunderstood something in Spanish.

When you book a car online in Argentina with DiscoverCars , everything is in English. This makes the process so much simpler.

You can rent cars with smaller companies in Argentina, but it will likely be trickier with communication and trying to arrange payment (especially if the company doesn’t accept credit cards).

10. How to save money renting a car

While renting a car in Argentina may not be super cheap, there are ways to save a few dollars.

• Book your Argentina car rental well in advance, especially during peak periods – not only will this save you money, but it’ll guarantee you a car before they all get booked out
• Go for smaller, manual cars if you can
• Book for longer periods – sometimes you’ll pay the same price to rent a car in Argentina for 7 days as you do for 6 days
• Visit Argentina in the low season, when prices will be cheaper and there’s more availability
• Pick up and drop off the car in the same location – there’s always a fee to drop off in another city
• Compare different companies for the best prices

11. Tips for picking up your Argentina car rental

Like anywhere in the world, when you pick up your car, inspect it before you drive away.

Take photos of every single ding, scratch and dent and mark them up on the car report as well.

Make sure the car has a spare tyre and the tools to change it, and that there’s sufficient water and oil.

12. Driving in Argentina

Now you’ve got your car and you’re heading out of the rental lot – hooray! Here’s what you can expect when driving in Argentina.

Argentina road rules

Many of the same rules apply in Argentina – don’t speed, wear a seatbelt, don’t use a mobile phone while driving etc.

But there are a few specifics to be aware of:

• Drive on the right-hand side of the road
• Speed limit signs are in kilometres, not miles
• You must have your headlights on when driving on highways and main roads (I’ve been pulled over for this – I didn’t realise it was the law)
• Carry all your documents in your car when driving – ID, car hire paperwork, insurance etc
• The blood-alcohol limit is 0.05

Speed limits vary, but the maximums are:

• 40km/h (25 mph) in residential areas
• 60km/h (37 mph) in urban areas
• 80km/h (49 mph) on suburban main roads
• 120km/h (74 mph) on highways

Street signs

Unsurprisingly, road signs in Argentina are in Spanish. Here are a few to memorise:

• Pare : Stop
• Retorno : U-turn allowed (more likely it’ll be the curved arrow symbol)
• Entrada : Entrance
• Salida : Exit
• Prohibido : Entry prohibited

There are tollways on many of the main highways, so check this before you head out. You’ll need cash to pay for these – have small notes on hand.

Driving through tollways can be an experience. During peak periods the toll booth attendants can often get sick of having to take money, so they open up the gates and it’s a free for all. I’ve never seen anything like it! Hundreds of cars will speed towards the toll gates to get through before the attendant puts them back down!

Cost of gas in Argentina

Gas prices in Argentina are relatively low compared to other countries – although the impact of inflation can change this. Prices doubled toward the end of 2023.

As of January 2024, petrol is around ARS$662 a litre (US$0.83). You can check the latest prices online .

If you’re driving in rural areas, fill up when you have the chance as petrol/gas stations may not be as common.

Petrol stations aren’t self-service, so someone will always fill up for you.

Parking and security

When parking your car, look for well-lit, secure areas. Parking in a parking garage is usually safest – keep an eye out for the big “E” sign (E for estacionamiento, which means parking garage). There’ll be a fixed fee to park here.

If parking is free on a street, keep an eye out for trapitos . These are people who will look after your car for you – for a fee, of course.

You don’t have to use their services – but if you don’t, you may come back to a keyed car. Just give them a small amount of cash and make life easier. You’ll recognise trapitos by the handkerchief or rag they’re carrying or have hanging out their back pocket.

Like anywhere in the world, avoid leaving valuables in your car and always lock your doors.

Keep your windows up and doors locked when you’re stopped at traffic lights. I’ve had friends and colleagues who’ve had their phones swiped straight out of their hands through an open window while they’ve been waiting for the lights to change.

13. Can you cross the border with a rental car?

Yes, you can cross the border from Argentina into Chile (spend a weekend in Santiago , maybe?).

But vehicles rented in Argentina must be returned in Argentina.

There’s a fee of anywhere between $100 and $250 to take your rental car across the border into Chile.

Let the rental company know well in advance – they usually want 10 days to 2 weeks’ notice if you plan to cross the border.

Want to head over the border for an Uruguay road trip ? The same deal applies, although you’ll have to find a car rental company that will allow you to cross the border. You’ll also need to advise them well ahead, as rental companies need 72 hours to prepare the permit to cross the border.

In my research, I found that most rental companies don’t allow their cars on ferries (ie. the easiest way to get to Uruguay). It might be easier to book a separate rental car in Uruguay.

14. Know how to change a tyre

I’ve had few flat tyres in my life, but the most memorable was as we were heading down the Ruta 40 back to Salta at the end of a road trip around northwest Argentina. All of a sudden one of our rear tyres popped. Luckily it happened on the highway and not on one of the back roads.

Luckily, also, that my husband knew how to change a tyre.

Our friends didn’t.

So, because the roads can be rough in Argentina, make sure you brush up on your tyre-changing skills. Hopefully you won’t need them!

15. What happens if you get into a car accident?

If you’re unfortunate and have an accident while driving in Argentina, do what you’d normally do at home:

• Exchange details with the other driver (if someone else was involved)
• Take photos of your rental car and any other cars involved
• Call your rental company
• Call your insurance company  (if your insurance isn’t through your car rental company)

The multilingual tourist police can be called in an emergency on 0800 999 5000. In Buenos Aires, the number is 911.

16. Do police ask for bribes?

We’ve been pulled over by police while driving in Argentina (for not having our headlights on) and I think that the officer was trying to get us to pay him a “fine” on the spot… aka, a bribe.

We didn’t of course – and I wouldn’t recommend you ever do.

If you think a police officer is asking you for a bribe, simply be persistent and ask for a fine in writing. They’ll usually give up if you keep at it for a while.

Having said this, I’ve rarely heard stories about police in Argentina asking people – residents or foreigners – for bribes, so don’t be overly concerned.

17. Argentina road trip inspiration

If you’re considering renting a car in Argentina, you’re likely looking for a way to explore this incredible country at your own pace. Here are a few road trip ideas for your Argentina itinerary .

The Lake District

For nature lovers, the Lake District in northern Patagonia is a must-see destination. The road trip from Bariloche to San Martín de los Andes takes you through stunning mountain scenery and past crystal-clear lakes along the Ruta de los Siete Lagos (7 Lakes Route). Along the way, you can go hiking, fishing or simply explore the small towns and villages.

Wine country

Argentina is known for its delicious wine, and a road trip through the wine country is a great way to sample some of the best. Start in Mendoza, the heart of the wine region, and visit vineyards and wineries along the way.

Northwest Argentina

One of my favourite parts of the country, Northwest Argentina is stunning. You can explore the charming town of Cafayate , known for its Torrontés wine, and drive through the gorgeous Quebrada de Cafayate canyon.

Stretching from the northernmost point of Argentina to the southern tip, Ruta 40 is one of the longest roads in the world. It takes you through some of Argentina’s most diverse landscapes, including mountains, deserts and glaciers.

For an epic adventure, consider a road trip through Patagonia. Start in Bariloche and make your way down to El Calafate, stopping at national parks and scenic viewpoints along the way. You can also take a detour to visit the famous Perito Moreno glacier . Head to El Chalten for amazing hiking .

Road Trip in Argentina!

Among the popular road trips for visitors is the Vuelta A Los Valles through Salta, with stops at colorful natural rock formations and the ghost town of Alemanía .

Virtually everyone who goes to Bariloche or San Martín de los Andes does Patagonia’s Seven Lakes Route , whether they take a tour or rent a car to do the trip on their own.

If staying in Puerto Madryn , the best way to visit the penguin reserve at Punta Tombo is by renting a car, to not be limited by the time constraints of a tour.

FAQ: Rules of the Road & Renting a Car in Argentina:

•  what kind of driver’s license is required to rent a car in argentina.

-Anyone with a valid license from their home country can rent or hire a car in Argentina, as long as they also hold a valid tourist visa and a credit card.

Those who have overstayed their visa might encounter problems.

You do NOT need an international driver’s license.

Almost all cars have a manual transmission, so those who don’t know how to drive a stick shift (or those from the U.K. not accustomed to shifting with the right hand) better learn quickly — hopefully before you go.

Learning how to drive a shift for the first time in frenzied Buenos Aires would be quite a steep learning curve!

•  Can you rent cars at the Buenos Aires airport?

-Yes, you can rent a car ready for pick up in Buenos Aires international airport, Ezeiza (EZE), or the domestic airport, Jorge Newbery (AEP) as well as at most other airports in major cities throughout Argentina.

Make sure to make your car rental reservation in advance in popular destinations or during high season, or there may not be cars available.

Be aware that Buenos Aires has pretty aggressive, or, if we’re being generous, chaotic driving.

Anyone who has been to Italy will recognize that many Argentines are  Italian descendants who aren’t interested in formalities such as car lanes, and like to loudly express their life’s frustrations via gratuitous honking.

These daredevils, particularly in Buenos Aires, enjoy pretending they are ‘the maestro ‘ Argentina’s most famous race car driver, Juan Manuel Fangio.

(Interestingly, Fangio who people claim to see apparitions of in Chacarita cemetery , himself famously never had a driver’s license to drive on public streets his whole life — he said he was scared of the other drivers!)

Considering this, those thinking of renting a car at the airport should contemplate if they will feel comfortable driving from the international airport (32k from downtown Buenos Aires) after a long flight.

While it will be slightly more expensive, you can always get a ride to your hotel and pick up the rental car downtown the following day after a good night’s sleep.

This option works out well because it is usually more expensive to pick up a rental car at the airport anyway.

Wander Argentina offers safe and friendly airport pickup in Buenos Aires , for those who’d prefer to be driven downtown, or you can arrange a shuttle .

If you do plan to rent a car in Buenos Aires, be sure that your hotel has parking, as finding a parking spot can be an exercise in frustration in the center of Buenos Aires, especially during the week.

Those parking on the street in Buenos Aires should also be aware that they will also likely be approached by trapitos , the less-than-savory characters who request tips to ‘guard’ your car.

The general rule is you can throw them some pesos for ‘insurance’ or, make like a local and tell them you have no change and promise you will give a tip when you return.

• What types of cars are available to rent in Argentina?

-Rental cars in the most popular destinations range from compact, low-budget options to sedans and in more remote regions where they are needed there are some SUVs. One thing to know is that the available cars almost exclusively with manual transmission (stick shift).

Those who don’t drive a standard will have to make a special request for an automatic car, or better yet learn to drive a stick shift before coming.

Automatic transmission cars are rare in Argentina and will cost more as a result.

• Is it safe to drive in Argentina?

– Driving always involves risks, and Argentina doesn’t have a great record of road safety.

The Inter-American Development Bank ranks Argentina’s roads among the most dangerous in Latin America. It has more than twice the number of accidents as Australia, Canada and Western Europe, but is just behind the U.S.

Luckily, this is an area where Argentina is improving.

In 2009 Argentina had an average of 22 road accident fatalities per day throughout the country.

Fifteen years later that number fell to 13 fatalities per day in a country of 45 million .

Car accidents are the leading cause of death for those under 25.

Most of the risk is mitigated simply by wearing a seatbelt — only 50-60% of the population wear a seatbelt in Argentina.

Enforcement and driving education have improved in Argentina in recent years too.

But for all the inroads Argentina has made in public education about the importance of seat belts and the dangers of drunk driving, it’s been overshadowed by the alarming number of drivers who use their cell phones while on the road.

The most challenging driving in Argentina is in the capital, Buenos Aires , where driving is rather aggressive, such as in New York City or Rome.

In Buenos Aires particularly, it is important to be aware of reckless drivers — often on motorcycles — and distracted pedestrians crossing the road.

In other regions of the country far from the capital, driving tend to be less stressful .

In relaxed Patagonia people are more civilized drivers, but the curvy mountain roads can be a bit tricky and it is important to look out for wildlife.

In some provinces such as Salta and Chubut, the drivers are mellower than those in the capital, but some roads may have potholes or flying gravel .

While highways throughout the country are generally in decent condition, driving on two-lane highways at night requires extra care.

• Are there any special laws about driving in Argentina?

Argentina doesn’t have any particularly unusual laws and the road signage will be familiar.

While driving on highways low beams (Day Time Running Lights), position and license plate lights should be on 24 hours a day. In urban areas, they should be turned on when natural light is insufficient or visibility is low. 

All passengers are required to wear seat belts at all times

Children under five require a car seat.

Parents should consider making their lives easier by bringing a travel stroller-car seat combo for young children.

All children under 12 are required to sit in the rear of the car.

As of 2018, kids between the ages of five and twelve also need a booster seat so the use of a seatbelt is safer.

This inflatable travel booster seat is a good compact travel option for those traveling with kids who need a

Turning left on a two-lane road can only be done at a light with a green turn arrow, which virtually don’t exist.

This is why even passengers in Buenos Aires will notice taxis or Uber drivers take three right turns to go around the whole block to reach their destination.

Taking a right turn at a red light is also prohibited .

In many municipalities, traffic lights turn from red to yellow before turning green.

Drive with care when approaching intersections that have a four-way stop sign.

Generally, no one stops — at most, they may slow down for a ‘California roll.’

Crossing the intersection becomes a game of chicken, with whoever has the biggest vehicle ‘winning,’ so it pays to drive defensively.

Be aware that — even though it is law — no one seems to pay attention to the fact that the person on the right has the right-of-way at a four-way stop.

Blood alcohol levels allowed permissible for driving in Argentina are quite low.

The level to pass a sobriety test is .02% for motorcycles and .05% for car drivers, which is about one drink per hour for an average-sized person.

• Which side of the road do they drive on in Argentina?

-While the British did try to invade River Plate region in what is now known as Argentina, they only got as far as San Telmo before they had to retreat. (Learn more about this on our San Telmo Tour !)

The driver’s seat is on the left-hand side of the car in Argentina , so any British weirdos 😀 used to driving on the right-hand side and using a stick shift with their left hand will need to adjust quickly.

Only on the Falkland (Malvinas) islands, a British overseas territory, do they drive on the left.

(As an aside, make sure to never use the ‘F word’, Falklands, when speaking to an Argentine — it’s a touchy subject, as our Porteño Corner interviewee Air Force pilot, Facha Martel explains.)

Popular Road Trips in Argentina

Route 40/ ruta 40.

Argentina’s most famous highway is RN40. It is one of the longest roads in the world snaking along the Andes Mountains, and not surprisingly goes through some pretty spectacular virgin terrain.

Traversing the western side of the country starting from La Quiaca on the border with Bolivia in the north to near Rio Gallegos at the tip of the country, most of Ruta 40 is paved these days. RN40 stretches 5,000 km (3,106 mi) from Jujuy to Santa Cruz and goes through 20 national parks and over many high passes.

The highest point is at almost 5,000 m (16,404 ft) at Abra del Acay pass in the Salta region.

Only high-clearance 4×4 vehicles are suitable for that section of the road.

There is a country-wide initiative to pave the whole road to promote tourism but parts of the 17-province route are unpaved.

Seven Lakes Route/ La Ruta de los Siete Lagos

The Road of Seven Lakes also called the ‘ Circuito Grande ‘ or ‘Big Circuit,’ is a captivating route that winds its way amidst the majestic Andes from San Martín de los Andes to Villa La Angostura. Many people start the route taking Route 40 from Bariloche .

Spanning 107 kilometers (67 miles), this popular road trip beckons adventurers for a day or multiple days of exploration. Renting a car is the perfect choice, granting you the freedom to savor the views of cascading waterfalls, and serene lakes and seize opportunities for hiking, biking and kayaking.

Read more about the Seven Lakes/Big Circuit Route ➡

Tour of the Calchaquies Valleys

The Tour of the Calchaquies Valleys is a scenic journey unveiling the breathtaking beauty of the region as you traverse from Salta to Cachi, with a stopover in the bodega town of Cafayate .

Embark on your adventure along Route 68, immersing yourself in the wonders of the awe-inspiring Quebrada de las Conchas gorge.

It’s a trip that goes through otherworldly realms, resembling the surface of Mars in certain areas.

The second part of the trip is along Route 40 between Cafayate and Cachi.

Puerto Madryn to Punto Tombo

Puerto Madryn to Punta Tombo penguin colony is an example of one of many short, worthwhile road trips in Argentina that allow visitors to get to remote destinations in the absence of public transportation options.

The ecological reserve and penguin colony at Punto Tombo is located 180 km from Puerto Madryn in the Chubut province.

The best route is to take Route 3 heading south. Along the way, are two towns charming little towns settled by the Welch, such as Trelew.

The last 22 km to reach Punta Tombo are unpaved, but a 4×4 vehicle isn’t necessary.

These are just a few popular road trips in Argentina. It’s a huge country and every one of its 23 provinces has off-the-beaten-path historic attractions and national parks.

Near Iguazu Falls , rent a car for a short trip to visit the Jesuit ruins. From Buenos Aires head down to the sierras of Tandil for a city getaway with opportunities for hiking. In the Catamarca province, visit ‘Argentina’s Machu Pichu’, El Shincal de Quimivil , the southernmost Inca settlement between the Zapata and Belén mountain ranges.

• Why is renting a car in Argentina more expensive than other places relative to the cost of living?

-Just like air travel , car rental is on the expensive side in Argentina because it is not common for locals to rent a car and vehicles are expensive here due to the country’s protectionist policies.

Those who have the time often take flights or long-distance buses to various destinations and then rent a car locally in the area they are visiting.

Renting a car on vacation provides a way to get off the beaten track, gain some flexibility, and accommodate time constraints.

• Can I leave the country with the car to visit neighboring countries?

-Not likely, but you can discuss this with the rental agency in their office.

If possible at all, this will most likely involve a lot of extra fees.

To avoid headaches and huge fees, cross the border and then rent another car.

 • Toll Roads

Throughout Argentina, toll roads are common, and drivers should expect to stop and pay tolls during their journey.

Rental cars do not come equipped with electronic tag for toll payments, so drivers will need to stop at physical booths to pay the toll fees.

Choose your line wisely!

Make sure to carry enough change and small bills (cash is always necessary in Argentina), as foreign credit cards may not accepted.

Fueling Up: Five-Star Treatment

Gas station Service:

Most service stations in Argentina are full-service. 

An attendant will pump the fuel check your oil and potentially wash your windows.

Language:  It’s helpful to know basic Spanish phrases related to fuel. ‘ Nafta ’ is the word for gasoline.

To ask to fill up say, “ Llená el tanque por favor .’ (this is using the vos form)  

Tipping: Isn’t customary at service stations, unless perhaps they do something extra like change your tire.

Safety:  Exercise caution at service stations at night. 

Check your fuel gauge:  Don’t wait until you’re completely out of fuel. Service stations can be more sparsely located in rural areas. Consider carrying a couple of cans of gas if road-tripping in remote areas.

Be patient:  Service stations can get busy during peak hours.

• What if I get pulled over? Do the police bribe in Argentina?

If you are a decent driver it is unlikely you will get pulled over in Argentina (especially since many locals drive like maniacs), but there are police checkpoints along some roads.

When getting pulled over or stopped at a checkpoint, you’ll be required to provide your driver’s license, insurance papers and the legal documents for the car provided by the rental car company, usually kept in the glove compartment.

It is not likely, but it is certainly possible, to cross paths with a police officer trying to supplement their inadequate income by requesting a bribe.

Generally, they will hint or suggest you pay a fine on the spot or they will have to write you a ticket.

If you are sure you did nothing wrong, you can stick to your guns, ‘play dumb’ or lament aloud that don’t have any cash on you.

Suppose it begins to seem like a corrupt officer is dead set on ruining your vacation and you just want to go on your way, slipping a bill, that’s enough for an asado (barbecue) into the paperwork is how some locals choose to get out of the situation.

Others may choose to stick to their guns, which would most likely result in the officer hemming and hawing to waste some time because you called his bluff and he doesn’t actually want to write a ticket. 

Again, it’s an unlikely scenario for a tourist, but forewarned is forearmed.

• What else should I know about renting a car in Argentina?

The companies that work with the rental car network are well-established and credible international companies but experiences can still depend on the individual franchisers.

Before driving off, check the interior and exterior of the car and make a note, or better yet take photos, of any dings or damage to ensure there are no disputes upon returning the car.

One of the most reliable options to book online is.

You can also compare rental car prices here with those offered by Cheapo Air sometimes they live up to their name.

Because of the limited availability of cars in some areas, it’s best to make reservations in advance, especially in the high travel season. 

It’s recommended to get the full liability insurance, especially if you don’t have travel insurance .

Argentina Driving Tips Roundup

• Low-beam headlights are required to be on at all times — day or night, in a city or rural area.

• Seat belts must be worn at all times. All children under 12 must travel in the backseat. All children under 12 need a booster seat ( this travel booster seat is pretty nifty for travel) and all children under four years-old must be secured in a car seat.

• A license from your home country will work fine to drive and rent a car — there is no need to have an international driver’s license.

• The driver’s seat is on the left in Argentina and almost all cars available have a manual transmission.

• The acceptable blood alcohol content level to not be considered an impaired driver is .02% for motorcycles and .05% for non-commercial car drivers, which is lower than the U.K. and most of North America. There are occasional alcohol checkpoints, most notably on holidays.

• Use of a mobile phone while driving is strictly prohibited, aside from a hands-free system.

• You must be 18 years old to drive in Argentina and some rental agencies may only rent cars to those 21 and older.

• Highways are often privately owned and have tolls, so make sure to have smaller bills and change on hand when on the road in Argentina.

Cheap car hire in Argentina

Top tips for hiring a car in argentina.

• Liability insurance is mandatory if you intend to drive in Argentina, so be sure that you are covered before signing any rental contracts. Also, Argentine law requires that all cars always carry the following items: warning triangles, a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit. If the rental agency does not provide them, then you are responsible for acquiring them yourself.
• Most rental agencies do not offer unlimited daily mileage, so if you wish to rent a car in Argentina and are on a budget, you may wish to try the agency Facil rent a car, which offers an option for unlimited daily mileage. The maximum is usually about 200 km per day (about 124 miles), which is especially helpful if you plan on exploring the vast southern Patagonia region or the Andean mountain range in the west.
• When vacationing in Argentina, you should know that cars with automatic transmissions are uncommon there. This is true of rentals as well, which means you may have to pay more for an automatic if you are unfamiliar with a manual transmission. That said, most of the American rental companies should have a supply of automatic cars, so your search should start with them first.
• If you intend to travel across the borders to Brazil or Chile in a rental car, you should notify your rental agency in advance because there may be additional fees that could affect your travel plans. You may also need to show other documentation at border checkpoints, and you should always make sure that you are carrying all of your paperwork with you, including your passport, driver’s license and rental contract.

Travel Information

Why rent a car in argentina.

The 8th largest country in the world by land area has a geography that is just begging to be explored. While visiting the cultural hubs of Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Mendoza is certainly worthwhile, it would be a shame to travel to Argentina and not take in its stunning landscapes. With more than 4,000km (or more than 2,500 miles) between the northern corner of the country and the southernmost reaches of it (a drive that would take more than 50 hours), there is a plethora to see if you have a rental car. 

Top ways to enter Argentina

Any information you may find indicating that Australian, Canadian, and American citizens must pay a reciprocity fee to enter Argentina for the purposes of tourism is outdated. As of July 2019, this fee has been suspended for all of the listed nationalities. 

Ezeiza International Airport - The main international airport of both Buenos Aires and Argentina is located southwest of the center of the city in the suburb of Ezeiza.   It is the busiest airport in Argentina and handles most of the international flights to and from the country. Rental cars are readily available from all major international rental companies making it the perfect place to begin and end a road trip through the country. 

Areoparque Jorge Newbery  - If arriving from abroad and your final destination is a city other than Buenos Aires, you are likely to have to make your way to this airport which is the main domestic airport of Buenos Aires. Keep in mind that journey through the city usually takes about an hour but can take even longer if traffic is particularly bad. If you happen to fly to the airport from another city in Argentina and would like to rent a car for your stay in Buenos Aires, major rental companies can be found at the airport.

Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport - This airport is located near the town of Puerto Iguazú, in the province of Misiones. It serves as the gateway to the stunning Iguazu Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ingeniero Aeronáutico Ambrosio L.V. Taravella International Airport - This airport is located in the city of Cordoba, in central Argentina. It serves as an important hub for domestic flights within Argentina and some international flights to neighboring countries.

If your trip is focused on the Patagonia region of Argentina, it would make more sense to fly into one of the following airports. Most will connect via Buenos Aires if flying in from abroad.

San Carlos de Bariloche Airport - This airport is located in the province of Río Negro, in the northern part of Patagonia. It is one of the busiest airports in Patagonia.

El Calafate International Airport   - This airport is located in the province of Santa Cruz, in the southern part of Patagonia. It serves as the gateway to the famous Perito Moreno Glacier.

The Ushuaia-Malvinas Argentinas International Airport -  Located in the province of Tierra del Fuego, in southern Patagonia, this is the southernmost international airport in the world and serves as the gateway to the city of Ushuaia, which is known as the "End of the World" due to its location at the southern tip of South America.

Those already in South America may enter Argentina by bus. Given that it is virtually impossible to bring a rental car into Argentina from anywhere other than Chile (and even then, the necessary paperwork is expensive), buses are a good way to get to the country.  Mendoza is the natural entry point when coming from Santiago in Chile. Puerto Iguazu is a great starting point if coming from Brazil. Finally, if coming from Bolivia, starting in the stunning provinces of Salta and Jujuy is a great idea. Rental cars can be picked up in the first major city upon entering the country.

If coming from Uruguay, ferries from the charming town of Colonia are the most popular way to get to Argentina. The ferries leave frequently throughout the day and arrive in Buenos Aires in just a couple of hours. If this is how you plan to arrive, then you can pick up a rental car at the downtown locations of either Sixt or Alamo. Though they aren’t at one of the ports, they are within easy reach wby taxi. For example, the Buquebus ferry terminal is just two kilometers from these rental companies’ locations

Top cities and places to visit

• Buenos Aires - The capital of Argentina is famous across the world for its culture and tumultuous history. Tourists flock to the metropolis for its architecture, art scene, theaters, and nightlife. When it comes to dining, Argentinian steakhouses are popular across the world, but best in the city in which they originated. Plan to eat dinner late, though. Many places might not even be open at times when you’re used to eating. It is not uncommon to eat dinner at midnight in Buenos Aires! And if you wind up in a bar or club and think it must be lame because no one is there, wait around. Portenos, as the locals are known, don’t start partying until late — really late. It’s typical to start with drinks with friends around midnight, and clubs don’t usually get going until the early morning hours, with everything winding down well after sunrise. 
• Iguazu Falls - Located on the border with Brazil and near the triple border that also includes Paraguay, Iguazu Falls is one of the most visited attractions in South America. The town near the Argentine side of the falls is called Puerto Iguazu, which is a great place to spend the night. The Argentine and Brazilian sides of the falls differ, and it is worth visiting both sides. On the Argentine side, you get to see them closer up, including being right on top of them. On the Brazilian side, you get to see them in all their glory from farther away. Allow more time on the Argentine side as the many trails can take time to walk. Though it is possible to take a car from Argentina to Brazil with some rental companies, the steep fees for such make it unadvisable unless you plan to go further into Brazil. For just visiting Iguazu Falls, it would be best to cross the border with a bus, taxi, or on a tour. 
• The Eastern Coast - Though the western part of southern Argentina is often tourists’ focus due to the stunning scenery of the Andes Mountains, the eastern coast of the country is also worth a drive. Ruta Nacional 3 is the primary road along the coast and there are smaller, unpaved roads that often pas right by the ocean. Expect to see all sorts of wildlife including penguins, whales, and ostriches. Make sure not to miss the Valdes Peninsula.
• Aconcagua - The tallest mountain outside of Asia is 6,961 meters( 22,937 feet) high and is one of the Seven Summits. Though it is not a technical mountain, for the most part, it still deserves all of the respect a mountain of its height should get. Acclimatization is crucial for a mountain of these heights. 
• Ibera National Park - A decades-long effort by conservationists Kristine and Douglas Tompkins came to fruition in the declaration of this national park in December 2018. The wetlands it protects is one of the most biologically diverse areas of the country. It is now being developed for nature-tourism where visitors can spot wildlife and enjoy the landscapes of the park. 
• Northwestern Argentina - The provinces of Jujuy and Salta in between Chile and Bolivia provide stunning landscapes to the adventurous traveler. Though they may seem close to Buenos Aires on a map, Salta, for example, is 1,500km (930 miles) from the capital. This is a lesson in the vastness of the country. If you want to travel a little bit without your rental car, head to San Antonio de los Cobres and take the Train to the Clouds to the Plovorilla Viaduct. Stunning canyons and mountain vistas can be found all over these provinces. You could spend a week in just this part of the country.
• Mendoza - Located in western Argentina, Mendoza is known for producing some of the best wines in South America. There, you can go on wine tours and enjoy tastings, as well as enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking. 
• Patagonia - The region that brings the most tourists to Argentina is the southernmost part of South America which is shared with Chile. It contains the southern reaches of the Andes and Tierra del Fuego, the closest land to Antarctica. The region has long been famous for its natural wonders. While it used to only be popular with those seeking to spend significant time in the wilderness, nowadays, it caters to tourists of all types. Highlights include skiing, lakes, and some of the best national parks in the world. Some of the most beautiful places to visit in Patagonia include Bariloche, El Calafate, El Chalten, and Ushuaia Note that to reach Tierra del Fuego, you must pass through Chile. See the Crossing Borders section for more information. 

Driver's license requirements

• Argentina recognizes foreign driver’s licenses if they are in a Latin alphabet. However, some rental car suppliers require you to have an International Driving Permit (IDP). Make sure to check the driver’s license requirements of the rental car supplier before booking the vehicle.
• If your driver’s license is in another alphabet (e.g., Cyrillic or Arabic), you need to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Argentina.
• Even if you have an IDP, you still need to also provide your valid driver’s license from your country
• You must carry your driver’s license, not a copy, with you at all times. 
• You need to have had your driver’s license for at least two years. The required experience might be three years for some types of vehicles like 4x4s.
• Some rental car suppliers charge a young driver fee for drivers between the ages of 22 and 25 and a senior driver fee for drivers over the age of 65.
• There may be additional requirements depending on the car supplier and category, so make sure to check the rental conditions before booking. 

Crossing borders

In general, rentals can be taken from Argentina to Chile, though they must be returned to Argentina.  Avis and Budget allow renters to also take cars to Brazil while Enterprise, Alamo, and Europcar allow renters to also take cars to Brazil and Uruguay.

With all of the companies that allow travel to Chile, you must purchase additional insurance and pay a fee ($80 plus taxes and airport fees with Enterprise and Alamo, for example). The process of obtaining permission differs between companies. 

Budget, Avis, and Sixt require 10-day advance notice which can be done before the rental begins in most cases. Alamo and Enterprise do not allow renters to apply for permission in advance. Instead, they must visit a non-airport rental branch, apply for permission, and then wait 48 hours to pick it up. 

There are restrictions on which types of cars can be taken across the border in southern Argentina. Economy and compact cars are not allowed across the border if rented from El Calafate or anywhere south of it. This is due to the mountain passes that are needed to ascend and descend to get to the border. 

The usual method of avoiding the hassle and fees is to book separate rental cars in each country. This is a perfect strategy if you are planning to travel to the northern part of the country. For example, you can drop off one rental car in Santiago, take a bus to Mendoza, and then pick up another car. 

For travel in Patagonia, though, you may want to be able to cross the border in the rental car. For example, it is impossible to reach the Argentine part of Tierra del Fuego by road from mainland Argentina without crossing into Chile. And if nearby, you certainly don’t want to miss Torres del Paine National Park in Chile.

Chile is very isolated due to having the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Andean Mountains on the other. This restricts the movement of certain agricultural pests. To keep these pests from infecting Chilean crops and forests, there is a strict quarantine as part of the customs procedure. This means that you must declare any fruits, vegetables, firewood, honey, meat, and so forth upon entering the country. If you fail to declare these goods and are caught with them, expect steep fines. 

One-way rentals are usually possible with advanced notice and an extra fee. However, one-way rentals to or from Ushuaia are not possible. 

If you plan to drive in Argentina, you must be prepared to stop to pay tolls. There are many, many toll roads in the country. Though there is an electronic tag available to pay tolls with, rental cars do not come equipped with it nor is it possible to get one for a rental car. While this means you don’t have to worry about the fees associated with these, you will have the inconvenience of having to stop to pay tolls (and don’t worry, there are always physical booths). Be sure to keep plenty of change and small bills, as credit cards are usually not accepted. 

Top driving routes

Some of the most scenic roads in the country are unpaved gravel roads which are well-maintained (though many may be unpassable during periods of heavy rain). Note that traveling on these roads usually does not require a four-wheel-drive vehicle, but rental companies may forbid it or tell you that any insurance coverage is void if you use one of these roads without a 4x4 vehicle. 

• Ruta 40 - Traversing the western side of the country from the border with Bolivia in the north to near Rio Gallegos in the south, Ruta 40 is one of the longest roads in the world - and one of the greatest drives, too. Though most of it is paved, there are some sections you should be wary of if you don’t rent a four-wheel-drive vehicle. You may choose to take a detour along Highways 51 and 68 to avoid the unpaved section of Ruta 40 that passes over Abra del Acay at 4,972 meters. Only high-clearance 4x4 vehicles are suitable for that section of the road. Parts of the road in the province of Santa Cruz in Patagonia are also unpaved. One section can be avoided using provincial routes 5 and 7 which also allows access to the Torres del Paine region without having to drive on gravel. It is also possible to use provincial route 5 to reach Rio Gallegos avoiding the southern unpaved part. 
• The Road of Seven Lakes - This scenic road is located north of Bariloche and is its name suggests, passes beautiful alpine lakes. Though most say the road begins in Villa La Angostura, the road to the village from Bariloche is no less stunning as it hugs the shore of Lago Nahuel Huapi. Between Angostura and San Martin de Los Andes, the road snakes along passing through two national parks. Though the route is only 107km (67 miles) long, you could spend the better part of a day making your way leisurely enjoying the lakes, waterfalls, and hiking opportunities. 
• The Road of 365 Curves  - Some confuse this to be the road that leads to Santiago from Argentina passing near Aconcagua along the way. The title actually refers to the provincial route 52 traveling from Mendoza to Uspallata. The road is paved all the way to the Hotel Villavicencio. The area around the hotel is now a nature reserve that charges a small entrance fee and has trails that you can venture on. From there, you can go back the way you came or take the windy road to the other side of the ridge if you have a suitable vehicle.
• The Wine Route - Argentina is known for its wine regions, and a road trip through the wine country is a must for wine enthusiasts. The drive from Mendoza to Cafayate passes through several wineries and offers stunning views of the Andes Mountains along the way.

Car Rental in Argentina

Adventure in your own rental car through argentina.

The ultimate adventure with car rental in Argentina: just rent a car in beautiful and huge Argentina. Drive your own rental car through the pampas to the endless beaches of the Atlantic coast. Or cross the Andes through wild gorges and screw yourself up to the Bermejo Pass, passing the snow-covered Aconcagua. Then roll down the switchbacks to Santiago de Chile. Just in 2 hours in a rental car you will have reached the Pacific ocean at Valparaíso.

Facilrent , Argentina´s car rental for 4 × 4 vehicles makes it possible. This is how the beautiful landscapes go gy in an air-conditioned rental car: the green forests in southern Argentina and Chile all the way down into the steppes of Patagonia to the magnificent glaciers and deep blue lakes. At some point the street in Ushuaia stops on Tierra del Fuego . At the end of the world, the only way forward is by ship to Antarctica. Return the rental car to a local car rental company and fly back to Buenos Aires. Or the South America adventure continues: drive the car back over the Beagle Channel, always north. Then along the coast with a detour to Península Valdés for a visit to the whales, penguins and sea lions.

For rental car tours better a 4 × 4 with enough ground clearance

The landscapes in Argentina are wonderful and the distances are huge. But the roads are partly bad and gravel. Small cars are suitable for the city. For a round trip through Argentina in a rental car, you’d better rent a larger and robust four-wheel drive vehicle, a 4 × 4. Because only with such off-road vehicles you can safely climb the Andes, e.g. to Laguna Brava in La Rioja or through the National Park Valle de la Luna . Even on the long gravel roads in Patagonia, be it at remote estancias or at Punta Tombo to the sea lions, you will be glad to have rented an affordable all-wheel drive vehicle with high ground clearance. Read here why it should be a 4 × 4 Toyota Hilux .

Access to the landscape highlights only in the rental car

Argentina has a lot to offer. Here is a short list of highlights . Drive along the great Rio Paraná stream to the spectacular Iguazú waterfalls. From there the endless straight route in the Toyota Hilux 4 × 4 through the hot Chaco semi desert. The air conditioning makes it bearable while the air outside flickers with heat. In the end, the beautiful landscapes of Salta and Jujuy in the northwest are waiting for you. Above all, it is the varied landscape panorama that makes Argentina so special. The best way to “experience” this is in your own rental car. This is the only way to have access to the most beautiful places and you can take always a photo stop when you like. Plan enough time for your trip. And if you particularly like it somewhere, just stay there a few days longer. By rental car through Argentina: an unforgettable experience.

Cheap car hire in Argentina

Top tips for hiring a car in argentina.

• Liability insurance is mandatory if you intend to drive in Argentina, so be sure that you are covered before signing any rental contracts. Also, Argentine law requires that all cars always carry the following items: warning triangles, a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit. If the rental agency does not provide them, then you are responsible for acquiring them yourself.
• Most rental agencies do not offer unlimited daily mileage, so if you wish to rent a car in Argentina and are on a budget, you may wish to try the agency Facil rent a car, which offers an option for unlimited daily mileage. The maximum is usually about 200 km per day (about 124 miles), which is especially helpful if you plan on exploring the vast southern Patagonia region or the Andean mountain range in the west.
• When vacationing in Argentina, you should know that cars with automatic transmissions are uncommon there. This is true of rentals as well, which means you may have to pay more for an automatic if you are unfamiliar with a manual transmission. That said, most of the American rental companies should have a supply of automatic cars, so your search should start with them first.
• If you intend to travel across the borders to Brazil or Chile in a rental car, you should notify your rental agency in advance because there may be additional fees that could affect your travel plans. You may also need to show other documentation at border checkpoints, and you should always make sure that you are carrying all of your paperwork with you, including your passport, driver’s license and rental contract.
• 25% of our users found a car hire in Argentina for $86 or less
• Book your car hire in Argentina at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Renting a Car in Argentina: Everything You Need To Know

Renting a car in a new country can be a complicated affair. You need to know all about their local traffic laws and regulations for renting the car. We love visiting Argentina so we are happy to share all the tips and tricks for renting a car in Argentina.

There are so many fun and wonderful things to do in Argentina from the capital of Buenos Aires to the snowy Patagonia. It is such a large country with so much to explore. Each season brings in different activities and different parts of the country that are primed for exploring. Since it is such a large country renting a car in Argentina can be very worthwhile.

When Should I Consider Renting a Car in Argentina?

Some of the things to consider when renting a car in Argentina is where you want to go. That is the most important. Since it is such a large country, different areas are more easily accessible by plane rather than by driving. There are also many long-distance buses that can take you to many different areas of Argentina.

I am not recommending that you go for a road trip through Argentina. It is a huge country. It is the second largest country in South America. To get an idea of how large it is keep in mind that from Mendoza to Buenos Aires is 15 hours of driving. You’ll end up spending most of your trip on the road given how large the country is, but having a rental can give you more freedom than the long-distance buses.

Larger cities like Buenos Aires do not require rental cars because there is very good public transportation. It is also a very walkable city. It is helpful to have a car if you’re looking to do some day trips from Buenos Aires to areas that are less accessible by public transportation. Some smaller cities, however, do not have good public transportation which makes having a rental car so useful!

There are so many smaller cities and towns outside of the better-known cities. Plus there is so much to experience and explore in Salta and Jujuy in northwest Argentina. A car rental gives you the freedom to explore without the constraints of long-distance bus schedules or tour guide paths.

How Much Does Renting A Car In Argentina Cost?

Renting a car in Argentina can be a little more expensive than in other cities. On average you can expect to pay $35-$45 USD per day for a sedan with manual transmission. It is important to note that most cars in Argentina are manual transmissions instead of automatic. (This was a challenge for us).

Some easy ways to save money on car rentals are to book online and ahead of time. This allows you to search for better prices. Keep away from larger, fancier cars as those are more expensive. Imported brands and automatic cars are more expensive as well. Rent a car to explore locally, it is astronomically expensive to rent cars for a one-way drop-off trip.

One of the ways that Argentina is different is that you can haggle for cheaper car rental rates. A couple of things to prepare for this haggling is to do some research on what other car rental companies are offering. If you know Spanish you’ll be highly successful. A good strategy for haggling is mentioning that a different company is offering a cheaper price and you don’t want to be forced to go elsewhere.

The cost of gasoline in Argentina

An important thing to remember about gasoline prices is that in Argentina they are sold by liter instead of gallons. The per-liter cost of gas is fairly inexpensive. Compared to where we live in North Carolina cost of gas in Argentina is more expensive. That is not the case everywhere in the US, on average Argentina has lower gas prices currently sitting around $3.40 USD/gallon .

How to Rent a Car in Argentina?

Here are all the steps and things to consider in order to rent a car successfully in Argentina.

Book ahead of time

This one is pretty common. Booking online ahead of time will give you both the best price and the knowledge that your car will be available. In a country with as much inflation as Argentina is currently facing, it might be in your favor to reserve a car, but wait to pay for it until you arrive.

Booking ahead of time allows you to reserve an automatic car instead of a manual car. Since there are significantly fewer automatic cars in Argentina they can be harder to get without specifying on your reservation. Finally, booking a car ahead of time makes the whole process of picking up a car much faster.

There are a number of local car rental places which include Sunnycars, Budget Cars, Europcar, Hertz, Avis Localiza, Alamo, and Winterfell Rent a Car. When selecting a rental company look at the customer reviews. Higher than an 8.0 is ideal. Be sure to check the deposit policy before booking, many rental companies require a credit card for the primary driver.

Pro Tip: Beware of the allowed mileage. Since Argentina is such a large country the distances are further than you might expect so watch out for any per-day mileage restrictions and what the cost is if you go over that restriction.

What documents do you need for renting a car in Argentina?

The number one document you need is a driver’s license. If your license is written in the Latin alphabet and is currently valid then you don’t need any other driver’s licenses. If it is not in the Latin alphabet then you are required to obtain an international driver’s license.

Additionally, you need a valid passport and proof of insurance. The driver will also need a credit card, it must be in the name of the primary car renter. You cannot pay for a car rental in cash.

How old do you need to be to rent a car in Argentina?

You need to be 21 years old to rent a car in Argentina. If you are over 75 years old then you will not be able to rent a car. Much like in the US, there is an additional surcharge for drivers who are younger than 25 years old.

Is insurance required to drive in Argentina?

Yes, it is! By law insurance is mandatory to drive a car in Argentina, this includes a rental car. The rental company will sell you full coverage insurance. This is not the only place where you can get car insurance.

Some credit cards will give you car insurance when you book your car with the credit card. Your car insurance from back home may also cover your rental car. You should call them to ask if that’s a possibility.

While getting insurance from the rental agency may not be the most affordable, you also confidently know that it is legal in Argentina. We personally don’t usually buy insurance from the rental agency unless we know the roads are particularly narrow or treacherous.

What is it like to drive a rental car in Argentina?

Driving in Argentina can be challenging. They drive on the right side of the road and that’s basically where the similarities with the US driving end. All the speed limits are in km/hour instead of miles/hour. They are slightly slower on the highway than you’d expect in the US.

In cities, traffic can pretty much be completely bumper to bumper. Additionally, cars tend to be smaller than cars in the USA. Because of this people tend to drive a lot more aggressively. Stop signs are effectively ignored in all of Buenos Aires. Be prepared to hear a lot of honking, small fender benders (where people don’t even get out of their cars to exchange insurance), and a very aggressive attitude around driving. Expect some tailgating, high-speed weaving in and out of traffic, and even overtaking on blind turns. All drivers, including the buses, are aggressive while driving.

Once you leave the city you will find slower-paced, more easy driving. People are a lot more relaxed and far less aggressive. The roads in Argentina are fairly well maintained. As you go out further from a city you might see some gravel or dirt roads. If this is a possibility for your trip try to rent a 4-Wheel Drive vehicle.

All the signs will be in Spanish. You will rarely see a sign in both Spanish and another language. Most signs will look familiar such as the stop signs and the speed limit signs and other directional signs. It’s always a good idea to study up on the signs before renting a car in Argentina, especially if you don’t know Spanish.

FAQs About Renting a Car in Argentina

Are there scams to be aware of.

Absolutely! It’s not a perfect country (no matter how much we may love visiting). There are two major safety/scam concerns to be aware of when driving around in Argentina or while picking up a rental.

First, when you come to a stoplight within a city make sure your windows are rolled up and the doors are locked. Robberies are known to happen at stoplights.

Second, should you be stopped by a police officer they may require that you pay your fine on the spot. This is not a legal request nor is it something you should do. So regardless of all the threats of towing your car stand your ground and request a formal ticket to be written. Usually, the police officer will give up and move on. This is most common in Northwestern Argentina.

What is it like to Drive in Patagonia?

Patagonia is a popular destination for many road-trippers! However, many people can be concerned by the rugged mountain terrain and the challenging weather. However, it is not necessarily more dangerous than driving anywhere else. Naturally, you want to drive carefully and be conscientious of the weather.

Traffic in Patagonia is significantly more relaxed. A major thing to keep in mind is that not all of the roads are paved. This can pose a challenge during adverse weather days. Some of the roads are not clearly marked. Additionally, there aren’t really lights on the roads. This can make it difficult to see any animals or muddy parts of paved roads.

Pro Tip: Cell service can be very spotty in this area, download the maps before hitting the road. This will help you navigate even without cell service.

What are the rules of the road in Argentina?

It is important to know the rules of the road before heading out there. Most of the rules are pretty standard. Wear your seat belt at all times, don’t drink and drive, and your cell phone must be used with a hands-free device. Remember to keep your driver’s license, proof of insurance, and passport on hand while driving.

Argentina-specific laws that you should know about are that you have to drive with headlights on at all times. Vehicles must also be equipped with two safety triangles, a first aid kit, a reflective vest, and a fire extinguisher. Check your rental car for these supplies before leaving the lot.

What is parking like in Argentina?

Parking can be tricky for two reasons: Crime and Availability

Crime: Cars are fairly easy to break into which is why this is such a problem. The safest place to part is a parking garage. This is found by looking for signs that have an “E” on them. E is for estacionamiento , which means parking garage.

If you have to park on the street here are some tips to keep in mind. It is illegal to park on the sidewalk and the wrong way on a one-way. Look for well-lit, high-traffic areas and make sure no valuables are visible. Look out to make sure you don’t park in a no-parking zone. You’ll see signs with an “E” crossed which means no parking.

Availability: Especially in Buenos Aires, parking can be hard to find. If you find street parking you might find yourself face to face with Trapitos or guards. While their service is technically illegal and they have no claim to the “safety” of the street, give them a small amount of cash and they’ll leave your car alone. Many people have said that they found their cars keyed or scratched if they refused to pay the “guards.”

What are useful apps to use when driving in Argentina?

Waze is a very popular app to use for maps in Argentina. It is very accurate and helps you avoid traffic. It is by far the most used map app in Argentina. We saw everyone using it from taxi drivers to my cousins.

BA Turismo is a government-affiliated app from Buenos Aires. It helps tourists get information on tours, museums, and any other attractions that they can find along the way. The app is also in English.

Como Leego is another government app for Buenos Aires. It literally translates to “How do I arrive”. In Buenos Aires, it can help you navigate using public transportation.

Can an American rent a car in Argentina?

Absolutely! As long as you have all the requirements discussed above, you can rent a car. There is no discrimination due to nationality.

Are there automatic cars in Argentina?

Yes! They are more expensive and less common than manual cars. If you need an automatic car make sure to specify that in your car reservation.

Final Thoughts about Renting a Car in Argentina
