KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lima
Lima is a glorious city filled with colonial history, monasteries, archaeological sites, and a sprawling metropolis for you to explore. Organizing a rental car will give you the opportunity to witness the wonderful landscapes and hills that surround Lima. Not only will a rental car give you the freedom to navigate your travel at your own pace, it will also open up the chance to experience an authentic slice of Peru within the rural villages and districts that surround Lima.
Jorge Chávez International Airport is located 11 km (7 miles) from Lima and is a major transport hub for South America. Use KAYAK to view the best rental deals from a list of major companies such as Alamo, Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Thrifty at Jorge Chávez International Airport. Once you have organized your rental and collected your baggage, simply proceed to the Arrivals Hall, where you will find the counters of the rental agencies and have the car keys in your hand in no time.
Driving in Peru is unique and likely different from the conditions you have experienced elsewhere. The roads can be manic and drivers fight for every gap and angle. Understanding this before you arrive will hold you in good stead, so just be prepared to alter your driving nature and react to the new environment. The constant sound of car horns is also something you will get used to quickly -- a blast on the horn indicates that you are passing or approaching a nearby vehicle, rather than an indication of anger.
Lima has a population of almost 10 million and of course the city’s roads reflect this. Congestion is common throughout the majority of the day, with afternoon and evening periods the worst time to be driving. If possible, try to avoid driving after 3pm and look into finding secure parking where you can leave your car and have opportunity to explore the city via public transport and walking.
From the moment you pick up a car from your cheap car rental in Lima of choice till the moment you return the car, you should observe the city’s driving rules. In this city, if you’re caught drunk driving you’ll be penalized up to 3600 PEN (around 929 USD). On the other hand, if you don’t stop at a red light or drive in the opposite direction in a one-way street, you’ll be penalized 1800 PEN (about 465 USD).
Renting a car from one of the cheap car rentals in Lima is a decision you won't regret if you love exploring. This is because, with a car from one of the Lima car rentals, you'll get the opportunity to drive to several superb destinations outside Lima. These destinations include Lomas de Lucomo, located 55 mi (34km) away; Marcahuasi, located 129 mi (80km) east of Lima; Cieneguilla, situated 66 mi (41km) away; and Pachacamac, which is 63 mi (39km) away. You'll enjoy access to several natural attractions in Lomas de Lucomo; a mystic stone forest made up of dozens of ancient rock sculptures in Marcahuasi; several country-style restaurants serving barbecued meats and traditional pastries in Cieneguilla; iconic archaeological sites in Pachacamac.
Lima is connected to other Peruvian cities such as Paracas, Huarmey, Ica, Cusco, and Machu Picchu by toll roads. From Lima, you’ll pay 26 PEN (about 7 USD) to Paracas, 30.20 PEN (8 USD) to Huarmey, 40.80 PEN (11 USD) to Ica, and 63.90 PEN (17 USD) to Cusco and Machu Picchu. Lima itself has a toll road, Lima Expressway, which serves its metropolitan area. As all toll roads that serve Lima feature cash lanes, you'll simply use cash to pay for your toll cost.

When you make a reservation and when it’s confirmed you expect there is a car. When I arrived to pick up the car I was told I should reserve a week in advance. Why confirm than the reservation?? Very bad, I’m sorry.

you lied to me, there was no drop-off in the same location. I had to do it in another location and they charged me more for that. I felt robed.
When I did my reservation it was in Canadian dollar but when I got to the airport car rental it was in American dollars and it was way more, and they almost charge me for a part that was missing in the middle of the tire rim, luckily I recorded the condition of the car before I took it off the lot but if I dint record they would have made me paid for that so that really bother me other then that everything was good
