Car Rental in Colombia

Before renting, verify what your travel insurance or credit card covers for rental vehicles in Colombia.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Some rentals may have mileage caps. Check the details to avoid extra fees if you exceed limits.

Before finalising your car rental in Colombia, make sure to confirm the drop-off location with your provider. This will help you save time and prevent any misunderstandings at the end of your car rental period.

Research any local driving restrictions, such as tolls, road types, and restricted zones, to avoid fines.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Colombia, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, rental rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When renting a car from Colombia, choose a car rental deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Europcar, National, Sixt,Alamo, These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.
