KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Punta del Este

  • Car hire in Punta del Este offers numerous advantages over alternative transport options. While there are buses and taxis available, public transport may not reach some of the best places to visit, such as Casapueblo and La Barra. By hiring a car from reputable companies, like Avis or Europcar, you'll have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Plus, Punta del Este's unique road system allows for scenic drives along the coastal Route 10. Public transport options can be limited and infrequent, making car hire in Punta del Este the preferred choice for convenience and accessibility.
  • When considering car hire in Punta del Este, if you have decided to fly in, you'll be landing at Laguna del Sauce Airport (PDP).  Once you arrive at the airport, you'll find the car hire desks conveniently located in the Arrivals Hall. Major companies like Budget and Hertz have their counters together on the immediate right-hand side of the Arrivals gates, while others, such as Europcar, have separate locations on the far right-hand side of the terminal. The car park where the car hire vehicles are located is called "Aeroparque Internacional Laguna del Sauce". It's just a short walk from the terminal building, and signs will guide you there.
  • Driving in Punta del Este offers a positive experience with well-maintained roads and a good road network. However, it's essential to be cautious of pedestrians in bustling areas like Avenida Gorlero and Rambla General Artigas. Cyclists are commonly found along Playa Mansa and Playa Brava. The drivers in Punta del Este are generally polite and follow traffic rules. A unique element of driving here is the scenic coastal route, Rambla Williman, which offers breathtaking views of the ocean while driving. Another driving feature you might encounter is the presence of horse carriages on the roads, adding a touch of charm to the city's atmosphere.
  • Rush hour in Punta del Este typically occurs between 8:00 to 10:00 and 18:00 to 20:00, with increased traffic on major roads like Avenida Roosevelt and Avenida Italia. During the peak summer season, some roads near popular beaches can get congested, particularly Ruta 10 and Rambla Claudio Williman. If you're travelling during these times, plan accordingly to avoid delays. Additionally, be cautious when driving along the coastal areas during storms, as strong winds can affect driving conditions.
  • Small hire cars in Punta del Este are around 62% cheaper than other car types, on average

    When driving a Punta del Este car hire, a compact car or a convertible would be a great choice for most travellers. The city has narrow streets, especially in the downtown area and La Barra neighbourhood, where manoeuvring can be challenging. A compact car offers better agility and easier parking. If you plan to explore the scenic coastal routes or venture into nearby rural areas, an SUV with good handling would be suitable. It provides comfort and stability, especially on winding roads like Camino Lussich.

  • What's the speed limit in Punta del Este?

    Once you have booked a car hire in Punta del Este, it would be worthwhile to familiarise yourself with the speed limits. Within city limits, it is 37 mph, while on rural roads you can reach speeds of 56 mph. Driving on a highway is 68 mph. Pay attention to speed cameras, especially along Avenida Roosevelt and Avenida Italia, where they are commonly found. Some car hire companies, such as Europcar, have a policy of charging an additional fee for any speeding fines incurred during the rental period.

  • Where are the best places to park in Punta del Este?

    In Punta del Este, it is advisable to plan for paid parking in certain parts of the city. The cost for parking typically ranges from 50 Uruguayan Pesos (approximately £1.00) to 200 Uruguayan Pesos (approximately £4.00) per hour, depending on the location. You can find free parking spaces near less-crowded beaches like Playa Mansa or Playa Brava, but availability may be limited. Popular car parks can be found near Gorlero Avenue and Plaza Artigas, offering convenient access to shopping areas and restaurants.

The publication prices are a lie. When I show up to pick up the car, they force me to take out expensive insurance otherwise they won't give me the car. I had to go to another company. Unpresentable liars
