KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cusco

  • Whether you are traveling for work or leisure, car rentals are the best way to explore Cusco. Car rentals in Cusco are incredibly convenient for exploring remote and wanderlust-inducing areas with hard-to-find public transport. Cusco car rentals are not only reliable but offer you the freedom to explore the city’s attractions like Sacred Valley, Saqsaywaman, and Plaza de Armas. Car rentals let you explore the city like a local and offer you the chance to soak in the adventure, take several pit stops along the way, and the pictures. Car rentals in Cusco let you explore the city at your pace, offering the comfort of moving around and spacious interiors that are hard to come by with public transport. Plus, you can choose the vehicle choice to meet your travel needs.
  • When taking a flight to Cusco, you will most likely arrive at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport. The airport features five car rental companies on-site, including SIXT, Hertz, and Europcar. You can find the car rental center in the terminal building. Upon arrival, follow or sign to the Car Rental Center and proceed to the counters. If you wish to avoid waiting in line for hours, consider making earlier reservations. Cusco car rental agencies operate 24 hours daily, while some offer after-hour services for easy pickup or drop-off.
  • First-time drivers should keep the city's driving laws when driving rental cars in Cusco. Drunk driving is illegal, so avoid driving under the influence. It is crucial to keep your headlights on when going on coastal or mountain highways, as fog is common. Avoid using mobile phones and smoking inside the car when traveling with a toddler. Always keep your seat belts on. Driving is done on the left side of the door while overtaking. Vehicles on the far right side of the raid have the right of way unless a traffic sign says otherwise. Always yield to pedestrians, emergency vehicles, and police cars.
  • Driving in Cusco can have a few challenges. Keep an eye out for blind spots, as most routes have them. Most drivers honk horns to avoid a potential collision. Avoid driving at night as the road conditions are poor. However, if you have a reasonable excuse for driving at night, ensure you are extra careful. Most sped signs are posted in Spanish. Also, most drivers are careless so observe cautious driving. Also, rush hours occur daily from 7 am to 8 am and 5 pm to 6 pm. This can cause delays and minor accidents.

Pros:

Actually my trip was cancelled by me and I didn't have any problem with Europecar.

Cons:

But I also had purchased an insurance policy by Alianz. Europecar reminded me to cancel insurance also but Alianz haven't replied to my requests. So I've lost money for insurance.

Pros:

We didn't die.

Cons:

No pick up at airport which had been arranged. Taxi to office at my expense. Car was not ready for 2 1/2 hours- meant we had to drive at night which I wanted to avoid. Male rep pointed to left rear tire then to the where the jack was located. Tire went flat as we got near our hotel first night. Jack was not fitted for the vehicle (which had 97,000, kilos on it. Also duct tape on running panels, both sides of car.) Returned the car early but office was closed despite the sign saying they were open from 3-7 pm We were there at 5 pm. Was charge $40 for the flat time despite extra insurance I bought. Would never rent from Europe car again.

Pros:

They offered us a new Toyota

Cons:

Insurance was offered, which we took, but later found out that it only covered 80 percent. Extra drive if not a spouse/ husband is extra $5 per day.

Pros:

The staff was friendly.

Cons:

We put a small (less than one inch) scratch on the corner of the car on a panel that already had 3 or 4 much larger scratches that had not been repaired. To repair the scratch we were charged a ridiculous amount, particularly considering that they obviously do not repair small scratches.

Jun 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The location was close to the airport.

Cons:

Didn't have a full tank of gas in the car (only a little more than 1/4 tank filled). When I left, I asked if they'd reimburse me if I brought the car back with additional gasoline and was told they would. But then I returned it, I was told I wouldn't get the money back for the additional gas in the car. I had to fight it until they gave me something. Car was not cleaned thoroughly (there were tickets from past renters still in the car) and the vehicle's brakes were in HORRIBLE condition. Additionally, they try to put a $5,000 USD hold on your credit card if you don't get insurance with them.
