$36 Car Rental Venecia

Venecia has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Organize a set of wheels and hit the road to see what's in the surrounding region. These are some great options:

• Cuenca is around 65 miles from Venecia. Well-known attractions like New Cathedral of Cuenca should be at the top of your list here.
• Your next pit stop? Consider Ambato, which is around 85 miles away. Mall of the Andes is one local draw card you shouldn't miss.
• Venture into the great outdoors and inhale the fresh air at El Panecillo. You'll find it around 150 miles from Venecia.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries 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: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
