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

  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 adventures, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your reservation well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to score lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver 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 fees, 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 prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most cost-effective option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be convenient. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  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 provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s easy to add insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.

Where can I find an Otavalo car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a rental in Otavalo, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Otavalo?
A thorough insurance plan is a smart choice for your upcoming Otavalo adventure. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Otavalo with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
