Good to know
Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you might run into extra costs or rules. Check the rules for the supplier you choose before booking your rental in Argentina.
Planning a trip with the kids? Child car seat laws vary from one location to another, and the best setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Check if you need to add one to your Ushuaia car rental booking.
You'll need to show some documents when you pick up your ride. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Argentina.
Stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Argentina is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.
Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the Argentine peso (ARS) on your trip here. As well as your credit and debit cards, consider having some cash handy for minor purchases.
