List of car rental agencies that operate within the Guayaquil airport (GYE)

 

 Subject to change: schedules, listed companies and contact details may change due to commercial decisions or operational updates, so it is always advisable to check availability on the official website of the car rental company before booking.

 

Car rental offices are located in the international arrivals area of the passenger terminal. Having your own vehicle is an excellent option for those who want the flexibility to travel to downtown or to the beach resorts along the Ecuadorian coast.

It is recommended to search for a rental car in advance to ensure the availability of specific vehicle models and get competitive rates.

 

Requirements for Renting a Vehicle

  • Driver's license: A valid driver's license from the driver's country of origin or an International Driving Permit (IDP) must be presented.
  • Identification: A valid original passport or national ID card.
  • Credit card: A credit card in the name of the person making the reservation, with sufficient available credit for the security deposit hold, is required (debit cards and cash are generally not accepted for this purpose).

 5 tips for renting a car abroad

What to consider:
 
  1. Make sure your driver's license is valid in the destination country. Some countries also require an International Driving Permit (IDP). Keep in mind that the IDP is not valid on its own: it must always be carried together with your national driver's license.
  2. Check the documents and insurance required by local traffic laws, and what coverage is included in your rental (collision damage waiver, third-party liability, deductible).
  3. Learn the traffic rules of the destination country: speed limits on highways and city streets, right of way at intersections without traffic lights, blood alcohol limits, tolls, etc.
  4. Check which side of the road traffic drives on, and whether the steering wheel is on the same side as in your home country.
  5. Know what to do if you are involved in a traffic accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
