Question 1

Is renting a car for a week in Ecuador more cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Renting a car for a week in Ecuador can sometimes be more cost-effective than renting for a shorter period, as many car hire companies offer weekly rates that provide better value. To ensure you get the best deal, it’s advisable to compare rates and check for any available discounts or promotions during the booking process. Always review the pricing details carefully before finalizing your reservation.

Question 2

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Ecuador?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Ecuador, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your hire may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international hires for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers hire insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the hire counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

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.
