AntalAug 2024
Always consider take the full coverage insurance. Driving in Cali is challenging, and the possibility that the side mirrors get robbed is high. Don't let the car overnight park on the street, consider a closed paid parking.

I recommend renting a small car, definitely nothing flashy. Try your best to Park inside parking garages, carry small amounts of change on you. Make sure you turn on the emergency parking break every time you park.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cali

  • Cali car hire provides several advantages. It offers freedom and flexibility to explore the city and its surrounding areas at your own pace. Cali is known for its vibrant salsa culture, and having a car hire in Cali allows you to visit salsa clubs and dance studios conveniently. It also provides access to nearby attractions, such as the stunning San Cipriano Nature Reserve or the picturesque Farallones de Cali National Park. Having a car in Cali allows for easier navigation and the opportunity to venture off the beaten path.
  • When arriving in Cali, the main airport for the city is Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO). Car hire offices at Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport are located within the terminal building. After collecting your luggage, proceed to the car hire area where the car hire desks are situated. There is no need for an airport shuttle as the car hire offices are easily accessible within the terminal. Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO) is the recommended airport for car hire in Cali.
  • When driving in Cali, be prepared for the fast-paced and sometimes chaotic traffic. It's important to drive defensively and be aware of pedestrians, motorcycles, and local driving habits. Cali's streets can be narrow and congested, so be mindful of parked cars and manoeuvre carefully. Additionally, it's recommended to avoid driving during peak hours, as these are the busiest times on the roads. For the best experience, avoid driving in the centre of Cali and rather explore on foot.
  • Cali experiences heavy traffic during rush hours, particularly around morning and evening commute times. Rush hour traffic typically occurs from 07:00 to 09:00 and from 17:00 to 19:00 on weekdays. Roads such as Avenida de las Américas and Calle 5 can be heavily affected. While Cali does not experience extreme weather conditions, heavy rainfall during the rainy season (April to November) can impact driving conditions. Exercise caution and be prepared for wet and slippery roads, especially in hilly areas.
  • Book your car hire in Cali at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

It's important to pay attention to speed limit signs, as they may vary in certain areas. Be cautious of speed cameras, particularly on major roads and near school zones. Additionally, lower speed limits may apply in residential areas and near pedestrian crossings, so remain attentive to signage indicating reduced speed limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Cali?

In commercial areas or bustling neighbourhoods, paid parking zones may be available, usually costing around 2,000-5,000 COP (approximately 0.40- 1 GBP) per hour. It's advisable to purchase parking tickets from authorised vendors, or use parking apps and keep the receipt visible on the dashboard. In some areas, security personnel may offer assistance with parking for a small fee.

The location I was sent to no longer exists. We were able to find their new location, However they were out of vehicles. Even Though the system allowed me to book and they could see it. Thank - God, i am fluent in Spanish, this would have been an absolute nightmare for a non-speaker. Being that this happens in a 3rd would country, this is very dangerous. Addresses and phone numbers need to be properly checked as well as inventory.

There is not a physical office to pick-up the car. The address referenced was a empty place. I had to call the provided phone to know how is the pick-up procedure. Will be better if there is a note in the pick-up instructions to inform that you need to call to make the pick-up arrangements. The drop-off is the same, you need to call to make arrangements to drop-off the car.
