KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Montevideo
- Montevideo car hire is a good way to explore Montevideo at your own pace, moving from the city to tourist destinations. You will also not have to depend on the schedule of buses or trains during your journey. Travelling in a hire car saves you from the discomfort of travelling with strangers or encountering crowds at the bus stations and terminals, and it is feasibly cheaper than taking a taxi to various destinations. If you want to visit Iglesia del Cristo Obrero, you need a car to drive from Montevideo city centre, taking about 1 hour.
- You can hire a car from the hire car companies' desks at Montevideo Carrasco International Airport (MVD). The desks are in the main terminal, at the arrival halls, just after the luggage claim area. Once you hire the car, you can pick it up at the airport car park. You can also book your car hire in Montevideo online and pick it up when you arrive at the airport. Hire companies like Avis, Budget and Europcar have desks here.
- Montevideo has several intersection roads, and some of the intersections do not have stop signs. The intersections can be confusing at first, but always remember that the car on the right has the priority to pass. You should also look out for posted signage, as one-way streets are common in Montevideo. Headlights must always be turned on, regardless of the time of the day, as mandated by the government. You should also watch out for motorbikes, as they are common and can appear from any side. Additionally, U-turns are done in the middle of the streets and not at traffic lights.
- Montevideo is a city full of vehicles, and traffic is not unusual; you may encounter traffic on the highways leading to the city centre during rush hours and weekends. The roads leading to the beaches or the country turn into dirt or sand, and you should watch out for deep potholes on the roads. Keep an eye out, as you may also encounter some animals while driving from the city centre to the farmlands.
- Book your rental car in Montevideo at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Montevideo are around 78% cheaper than other car types, on average

Always watch out for the posted road signage, as the speed limits depend on your driving route while in Montevideo.

You will encounter unofficial parking attendants directing you to a parking spot, who expect money in exchange for keeping an eye on your car or finding the spot for you. Alternatively, park at Montevideo Parking car park, which is near El Clon. Most hotels also offer free parking for their guests during their stay.

There was something wrong between Kayak and Thrifty and when we got there to get our car they did not have any car matching the description and they charged us more to get a better car.
