How old do you have to be to rent a car in Buenos Aires?
Buenos Aires requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Buenos Aires?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Buenos Aires?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Peru — the same side as in the U.S. Motoring around Buenos Aires won't be exactly the same as home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local traffic rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Buenos Aires?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and reserve a set of wheels that's all yours for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Buenos Aires car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Found a Buenos Aires supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the information you need.
