Where can I find an El Arenal car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the El Arenal rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional costs. It's best to know this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in El Arenal?
We recommend adding collision protection while booking your El Arenal rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24/7 emergency help, you can breathe easy knowing you'll be covered for possible mishaps. You can opt in to this plan while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in El Arenal with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that 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'll need to be 25 or over in most places 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
