Car Hire in Bolivia

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

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.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

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

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.

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

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

Before finalising your car hire in Bolivia, 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 hire period.
