Driving restrictions

Cross the border

Argentina borders Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. 

Travel into Bolivia and Paraguay are not allowed.
 

Cars must be returned in Argentina’s locations.

Mechanical assistance and towing service are given exclusively within the territory of Argentina. If the rented car malfunctions outside said territory, the customer must provide the means to return the car to a location in Argentina.

If the car should be returned in a different office from where it was picked up, there will be an additional fee. Please check “One Way Fee” at the moment of quoting the rental.

The customer must place the Reservation at least 7 working days prior to the pick-up date. When doing so, they must request the authorization to cross borders into the chosen country. These reservations are not automatically confirmed, since our locations must check and acknowledge that the requested border crossing can be honored, therefore if said authorization cannot be granted, the car will be rented without the border crossing permit. If the request is confirmed, the customer must provide their credit card information (number, expiration date, security code) to secure the permit.

Cross border fees will be paid at the moment of pick up.

Should the customer cancel the Reservations less than 48 working hours prior to the pick up date and time, an administrative fee will be charged to their credit card, of the same amount as the cross border fee.

This service can only be booked by phone through the Reservation Center 0810 999 2834 or email: Reservation Center, with at last 7 days in advanced.
