Car Rental in Ecuador

Select a car that fits your needs in terms of size and type, especially if you're traveling with luggage or a group.

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

Decide whether to rent a GPS or use your smartphone for navigation; consider data costs if using mobile.

Familiarize yourself with local traffic patterns, peak hours, and driving etiquette to navigate more safely.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

Before driving away from Ecuador , thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.
