Question 1

Can under 25s rent cars in Uruguay

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to rent a car in Uruguay station is typically 21 years old, although this can vary by region and car hire company. In countries like the United States and Canada, drivers younger than 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. In Europe, you can usually rent a car if you’re 18 years old, though additional fees might apply for drivers under 25. In Australia, the minimum age is also generally 21 years old, with extra charges possible for drivers younger than this age. Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the hire company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.

Question 2

What details are covered in the car hire contract?

Accepted Answer

The car hire contract in Uruguay includes essential details such as the hire terms and conditions, insurance coverage options, and payment information. It specifies the hire duration, any additional services requested (like GPS or child seats), and policies on fuel, mileage limits, and fees for extra drivers. The contract also covers procedures for vehicle return, responsibilities for any damages, and the required identification, such as a valid driver’s license and credit card. Be sure to review the contract thoroughly to understand all aspects of your hire agreement.

Accepted Answer

Question 5

What should I do if I damage a car hire car in Uruguay?

Accepted Answer

If you damage a rent car in Uruguay, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) typically covers the cost of repairs. To avoid additional expenses, make sure your insurance policy includes zero excess coverage. If your CDW has an excess limit, you'll be responsible for paying part of the repair costs, which is usually deducted from the deposit you provided when renting the car. For specific details on coverage and potential charges, it's best to check your hire agreement and insurance policy before you drive.

Question 6

Why is a Credit Card required for car hire in Uruguay?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Uruguay, a credit card is typically required to secure your reservation and cover any potential surcharges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel. Major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard, or Discover are accepted for this purpose. The credit card must be in the primary driver's name to ensure financial responsibility for the vehicle. While some locations may accept debit cards, they often require additional documentation or a credit check. For a hassle-free hire experience, it's advisable to use a major credit card like Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.

Question 7

Can I rent a car from Keddy by Europcar in Uruguay?

Accepted Answer

Yes – you can pick up Keddy by Europcar rent cars from Uruguay.

Question 8

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 9

Can I use a debit card to rent a car in Uruguay?

Accepted Answer

Using a debit card to rent a car in Uruguay is sometimes possible, but policies vary by hire company. Many suppliers require a credit card, such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, for the deposit and reservation. If you only have a debit card, check with the hire provider beforehand or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car hire options that accept debit cards.
