Frequently Asked Questions

Prices can vary based on the company, the season, and the vehicle, but most locations offer discounts if you reserve a car prior to your arrival in Uyuni. The cheapest automatic cars cost from 14$ to 29$ per day. Larger cars can be more expensive due to their higher fuel consumption, so you may want to choose a smaller vehicle, which will also be advantageous on narrower roads.
There is always an increase in demand for car rentals in Uyuni during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Uyuni.

Third-party liability insurance is mandatory in Uyuni for any car rental. This is typically offered at no extra cost with most rental car agencies.
You should consider getting a CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and theft insurance, although it's not required. If you want to upgrade your coverage, the ideal time to do so is when you first make your reservation.

When traveling, renting a car is nearly always a good decision because it allows you to see sites at your own pace and on your own schedule. It's always nice to be able to avoid crowded bus or rail times and go in the early morning or late at night if it suits you better.

You can rent almost any kind of car in Uyuni, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:

A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in Uyuni have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. Renault Twingo is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Uyuni. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 13$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 5 series, price starts at 49$ per day.
Most rental cars in Uyuni are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

The rental car companies in Uyuni can only guarantee a certain type of car, not an exact make or model. Car rental companies have cars from many different brands in the same category. These cars should have the same features that were confirmed at the time of the reservation. Here is an explanation of the various car classes:

Car rental models

You may be able to reserve a specific model in some cases. You will notice a special note next to the vehicle in the search results if such a possibility exists.

The same card must be used to guarantee the rental agreement when you pick up the vehicle. We accept two types of cards:

We will accept a credit card as a guarantee. Our front desk staff is not permitted to accept a credit card if it is not clearly designated as such.
If you purchase our Platinum Insurance plan for the duration of your rental time, we can acccept a debit or prepaid card.

Rent a car without a deposit

Just keep in mind that the rental agreement must be signed in person at pick-up by the cardholder/renter, as well as by any other drivers. Additionally, the card must still be valid 100 days after the rental time has ended.
