$18 Car Rental Simón Bolívar

Simón Bolívar is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the surrounding region. Here are a few ideas:

• Make your way to Cuenca for an excellent sightseeing experience. About 80 miles from Simón Bolívar, it's home to many inspiring attractions such as New Cathedral of Cuenca.
• Your next pit stop? It has to be Ambato, which is around 110 miles away. Mall of the Andes is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.
• Venture into nature and inhale the fresh air at El Panecillo. You'll find it around 160 miles from Simón Bolívar.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order 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 need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
