Where can I find an Ecuador car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

If you're a younger driver looking for a car rental in Ecuador, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.

Question 9

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Ecuador?

Accepted Answer

Start your road trip on the right foot by choosing Expedia's collision protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency support. Don't wait until you get to the rental counter to insure your ride. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Ecuador ride with Expedia and save money and time.

Question 10

Can I drive in Ecuador with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
