Top tips for renting a car in Ecuador

  • There are many advantages of renting a car in Ecuador. First, public transportation outside major cities isn’t very reliable. Secondly, a car can take you to the remote areas of the country that are mostly accessed by private vehicles only, such as the mountains and the volcanic area of the Cotopaxi National Park, an 85 km (52 mi) drive south of Quito; or secluded beach spots, like Canoa on the coast.
  • The driver and anyone traveling in the front seat of your rental car are required to wear seatbelts in Ecuador. There are no laws about children traveling in car seats; however, you will have the opportunity to rent a car seat or booster seat from your car hire agency for about $5.58 per day.
  • When choosing your rental car in Ecuador, you must consider the type of terrain that you will be traveling on. Even though Ecuador is a small country, its geography is very diverse and ranges from steep hills and dirt tracks to curvy roads. You want to make sure that you pick the right type of vehicle for your vacation, so if you know you are doing a lot of rural roads in the countryside, an SUV or four-wheel drive would be best. If you are sticking to the highways, then a comfortable saloon is better suited.
  • As road signs are rare in Ecuador and you may find it hard to find a good map, it is a good idea to invest in a SatNav when you rent a car here. Renting a GPS device from companies like Sixt will aid you in navigating this vast country.
