Car Hire in Ciudad Salitre, Bogota, Colombia

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental company whether it’s permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Car rental companies usually require a credit card deposit that is temporarily held. Inquire about the deposit amount and its release after returning the vehicle.

Before leaving the rental location, check that the vehicle is stocked with essential emergency supplies such as a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

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

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.
