KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Buenos Aires
- Although Buenos Aires has an adequate public transport system for travellers without a car, car hire in Buenos Aires gives you greater freedom and independence with regard to scheduling. Having your own wheels enables you to be in control of when and where you travel, rather than being confined to timetables and fixed routes. That said, traffic in Buenos Aires is quite heavy, and you should weigh up the benefits of greater independence against the hassles of heavy traffic and scarce parking before deciding if Buenos Aires car hire is for you.
- Whether you are flying into Aeroparque Jorge Newbery International Airport (AEP) or Ministro Pistarini Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), you can find options for Buenos Aires car hire. Offices for Alamo, Budget, Hertz, Avis, Localiza, Europcar and Sixt can all be found in the arrivals hall at Jorge Newbery, while Ezeiza Airport has offices in the arrivals hall of Terminals A and B featuring Alamo, Hertz, Avis, Europcar and Localiza.
- You can drive in Buenos Aires on your national driver’s licence and won’t need an international permit. Traffic drives on the right, so bear that in mind if you are used to driving in Australia or the UK. Like in most countries, seatbelts are mandatory in Argentina, and the laws are generally enforced. You should also keep all your personal documents on you at all times as there are police roadblocks in many areas of the city, and you will need to produce your documents (passport, driver’s license, car hire agreement) when asked to do so.
- A lot of work has been undertaken in Buenos Aires on improving the traffic situation over recent years and, as a result, the city is often rated among the best large cities to drive in throughout Latin America, which is a statement much qualified by its relativity. Although the situation on the roads is much better than it was, the volume of traffic is still pretty daunting; if you are not used to traffic in large cities, you may find difficulties with congestion, traffic jams and crowded roads. 07:30-9:30 is rush hour but roads are typically crowded throughout the day, and you should be prepared to spend some time in traffic if you want to go further afield. Parking is also a problem and is definitely something you will need to plan for when considering car hire in Buenos Aires.
- Book your rental car in Buenos Aires at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Buenos Aires are around 24% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Buenos Aires
What type of car is recommended for driving in Buenos Aires?
A compact city car that handles well, doesn’t take up too much space when parking and is good on fuel economy is probably your ideal pick for car hire in Buenos Aires.

Parking is likely to be one of your biggest headaches if you drive in Buenos Aires. Free parking is almost impossible to find and your options are limited.

When travelling around the city, it may often save you time and hassles to locate a convenient car park near a metro stop and use the metro to get around a specific area you’d like to explore. Finding parking solutions is not impossible, but it is something you will need to consider carefully and plan for in advance when driving in Buenos Aires.
