KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Quito
- Ecuador has made a considerable improvement to several of its major highways, adding more lanes to make roads safer and easier to travel. Although there are other options for getting around Quito, your car rentals in Quito will not only give you more flexibility but will also give you the chance to explore cities and towns along the Ecuadoran coast, like Cuenca 7h away, the waterfalls in Banos 3h away, the forests in Tena, or Papallact also 3h away.
- The rental car offices at the Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) are conveniently located within the main terminal just outside the baggage claim. Make sure you have your voucher, credit card, driver’s license, and passport in hand before proceeding to the rental counter. The airport is located about 11 miles east of Quito.
- Sunday mornings in Quito are generally quieter and a great way to get a first sense of driving in the city, and to get a feel for traffic signs in a foreign language and common driving practices. Things to keep in mind are that stop signs aren’t always respected, unless there is oncoming traffic. Don’t be surprised that drivers frequently use their horns and hazard lights. When approaching a traffic circle, yield to the traffic already in the traffic circle. Keep your eyes open for cars stopping or moving and also pedestrians, as jaywalking is common throughout the city. International navigation apps will help find our way around the city.
- Traffic is not much of an issue in Quito, thanks to a rule called pico y plata. This means that during the heaviest rush hour times from 6:30am to 8am and 3pm to 7:30pm, cars ending in a certain license plate number are prohibited from circulating. Be sure to check which day your car rental is not supposed to drive and plan accordingly to avoid a fine. Quito is also susceptible to heavy fog, mist, and rain, which can block visibility. Be sure to use the appropriate headlights and drive slowly.
- Book your rental car in Quito at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Quito are around 47% cheaper than other car types, on average
