Car Rental in Peru



Where to Rent a Car in Peru

It is possible to rent a car in Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, and Piura. If you decide that driving from Lima to Cusco is part of the adventure and wish to rent a car, some of the main car rental companies include:

  • Alamo: Arequipa, Lima, Piura
  • Avis: Lima
  • Budget: Lima
  • Enterprise: Arequipa, Lima, Piura
  • Europcar: Arequipa, Cusco, Lima

It is best to rent a car from one of the bigger international companies as listed above. The cars tend to be better maintained and your price will be guaranteed but none exceeds RocApply car rental feature in terms of efficiency and service delivery. We work with partners that are committed to making your stay in Peru a memorable one.
How Much Do Car Rentals in Peru Cost?

Rent a small car for approximately $20-40 USD per day here. Your best option is to choose a 4-wheel drive, especially if you are driving from Lima to Cusco and passing through the mountains. However, the car rental price for a truck or SUV costs approximately $50-70 USD per day exclusive of fuel costs.

Car Rental Rules

Car rental companies in Peru generally have rules dictating the areas where the rented car is permitted to drive. The rental agreement should specifically state any restrictions, such as only on paved roads, in certain regions. You should make sure you check your car when you first receive it, note any dents or scratches. Also, ensure you have your obligatory first-aid kit, and a spare tire that fits, just in case!

Many locals drive aggressively and do not follow the common rules of the road. In addition to the drivers, pedestrians also cross at any place, any time. It is common to see people walking between lanes at busy intersections or even highways selling drinks, ice cream, toys, and a lot more. Thus always carry your driver's license, passport, and car rental agreement when driving a rental car. For further information, check out the travel and transportation section on the US State Department travel information page on Peru.
