KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Buenos Aires
- Driving a car rental in Buenos Aires provides several advantages over public transportation. Having a rental car allows you to set your own trip schedules and freely explore the city's key attractions, such as Teatro Colón, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Tres de Febrero Park, and Paseo El Rosedal Garden, without being restricted by bus or train schedules. In addition, a rental car will allow you easy access to the region's less-frequented destinations and remote areas, which may be inaccessible by bus or train. You will enjoy personalized driving comfort in your rental car, avoiding crowded and uncomfortable rides on buses or trains. With a rental car, you'll be able to share costs when traveling as a group, so it's more cost-effective than purchasing individual bus or train tickets.
- When you're flying to Buenos Aires, you may choose to arrive at any of these airports, including Buenos Aires Airport (EZE), Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), and Astor Piazzolla International Airport (MDG). EZE features car rental desks at the airport's arrivals area to ensure that passengers have an accessible transition from their flights to the rental process. At AEP, you will find friendly, trained staff at the car rental desks who will assist you in completing rental paperwork and selecting a rental car. When you are flying to Buenos Aires through MDG, you'll find Buenos Aires car rentals at the airport's arrivals area, conveniently located near the baggage claim area.
- Navigating through the bustling streets of Buenos Aires can be both captivating and challenging. As you drive your car rental in Buenos Aires, you'll experience an abundance of traffic, creating a lively atmosphere as you navigate through a maze of cars, buses, and taxis. When driving a car rental in Buenos Aires, it is necessary to stay alert and vigilant, as pedestrians and cyclists can sometimes be unpredictable. The city's large avenues, including Avenida 9 de Julio, provide ample space for motorists. On the other hand, narrower streets in zones such as San Telmo or Palermo Soho require more careful maneuvering.
- Buenos Aires' rush hours are between 7:30 am and 10:00 am on weekday mornings and 5:30 pm and 8:00 pm in the evenings. Commuters throng the city streets at these hours, causing traffic congestion that can make driving difficult, especially for people driving car rentals in Buenos Aires who may not be used to this kind of traffic. Major thoroughfares like Avenida 9 de Julio and Avenida General Paz become notoriously congested during these hours, meaning that drivers must contend with slower speeds and more frequent stops and starts. To avoid the region's rush hour challenges, plan your trip during off-peak hours.
