10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Baltra

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to make your reservation well ahead of your journey. By booking early, you're likely to secure better rates and have access to a wider selection, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come with lower rental rates and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most economical. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling arrangements, which are also acceptable; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it provides might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking through Expedia is a simple process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a car.

Where can I find a Baltra car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Baltra rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge additional fees. It's better to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Baltra?

Can I drive in Baltra with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
