Why Rent an Electric Car in Venezuela?

Until very recently, electric cars in Venezuela had no real presence. Venezuela was in total dependence on gasoline, which was incredibly cheap. There was little thinking about ecology, or new automotive technology. The country had no legal framework for electric vehicles on the road.

Electric vehicles have now become a viable alternative, but they are still not the first choice of most people. The majority of vehicles are twenty-two years old and rarely have insurance. Nevertheless, Venezuela has 700 to 1,000 electric vehicles on the streets, mostly in Valencia.

There are two innovators who are trying to take the electric car game to a new level. They are building small solar-powered cars and have a plan to produce a national model.

The cheapest model offered by the company is a 50-km (31-mile) autonomous vehicle. Their most expensive model can go for up to 140 km (87 miles) on the road.

The electric car may be the answer to Venezuela's energy crisis, but its presence is still small. Electric vehicles require a lot of infrastructure, including charging points. And, unlike gas-powered cars, they can take days to recharge.

Venezuela's energy crisis isn't just a national issue. Low water levels in the country's hydropower system threaten the country's ability to produce power. Earlier this year, the country experienced a nationwide blackout.

The power grid failed to provide power for several days. In the meantime, almost half a million electrical failures have happened in the country.

It depends on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage each person is carrying. However, the following factors to think about before vacationing in Venezuela:

Size: Our major suggestion is to choose a car that is not excessively wide. There are some tiny streets when you are driving through old towns or historical villages. It will be less stressful in a narrower automobile. Citroen C1 is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Venezuela. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 12$.

Power: Any size car will be able to travel the entire country. However, if you choose an engine that is not the smallest, it will be more comfortable in the highlands.

The freedom to see sights at your own pace and on your own timetable is a major perk of having a rental car while on vacation. It's nice to be able to schedule your travel whenever you'd like, whether that's at the crack of dawn or after midnight to avoid crowded bus or train times.

General insurance categories in Venezuela:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - It limits the customer's liability throughout the rental time and sets the maximum damage payment.
  • Theft Protection (TP): Reduces your obligation to the vehicle's deductible/excess if your car is stolen (proof required are a police report and the car keys).
  • Third Party Liability (TPL) covers material and intangible losses to other people's vehicles, property, and medical expenditures.

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 Venezuela. The cheapest automatic cars cost from 13$ 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 Venezuela 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 Venezuela.

Cheapest Way to Rent a Car in Venezuela

Having a rental car while visiting Venezuela is the best way to see this wonderful country. Aside from the many sights and attractions, the country is also home to beautiful rainforests and wildlife. Car hire is also the best option for those who want to explore the Andes mountain ranges.

Some of the companies offer discounts for their members. For example, some rental car companies in Caracas offer discounts to military/veteran, AAA and AARP members. They also offer discounted rates for long-term rentals.

  • Depending on your choice of car, you can expect to pay from $35 to $75 per day. You may also find some rental agencies offer free upgrades or free cancellations. You can also pay up front to save 10-15% of your total rental cost. It's a good idea to choose flexible dates so that you can take advantage of the cheaper rates.
  • You may also want to consider having insurance on your rental car. This may cover the costs of damage or theft. However, it's important to know the fine print before you commit to any plan. Some companies offer insurance on specific cars on rent, but it's best to check this carefully.

Car hire in Venezuela is very affordable. You can rent a mid-size car for $63 per day. You can also get an SUV for more money. It's best to choose a car that's all-wheel drive to take advantage of the roads and the terrain of Venezuela. It's also a good idea not to choose a car with an expensive trim level as it can spoil your enthusiasm for your trip.

While you're renting a car in Venezuela, make sure that you are comfortable with the vehicle. It's also a good idea that you have a GPS. Some rental companies will give you an option to rent a jack and a wheel block, but be sure to ask about them beforehand.

Most Venezuela car hire companies will not charge you hidden credit card fees. However, you may find that the employees will try to persuade you to upgrade to a more expensive model. In some cases, you may need to bring a domestic passport as an extra form of identification. Also, the roads are not particularly well-marked, so you'll want to have a GPS with you to navigate your trip.
