KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Arequipa

  • Renting cheap car rentals in Arequipa offers several advantages that make it a great way to explore this beautiful region. First and foremost, having your transportation provides you with the freedom to travel at your own pace and visit places that may not be accessible by public transport. Arequipa is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes such as the white city, Colca Canyon, and the Misti Volcano. With Arequipa car rentals, visitors can drive to these locations and enjoy the beautiful scenery at their own leisure, without worrying about missing the bus or train schedule.
  • Arequipa Rodriguez Ballon Airport (AQP) is the main airport serving Arequipa, Peru. Visitors who wish to get Arequipa car rentals can conveniently do so at the car rental offices located in the arrivals area of the main terminal. Major rental car companies such as Hertz, Avis, and Budget have offices in the airport. Visitors can easily locate the car rental offices by following the signs leading to the car rental area. There is no airport shuttle to the car rental offices, as they are a walking distance away. Upon arrival, visitors should present a valid driving license, passport, and credit card to complete the car rental process.
  • When driving cheap car rentals in Arequipa, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, Arequipa is situated at an altitude of over 2,000 meters above sea level, which can make driving feel a bit different from other places. Visitors should take some time to adjust to the altitude and drive carefully until they become accustomed to it. Roads in Arequipa can be also narrow, so drivers should be careful to give way to oncoming traffic when necessary. Additionally, the driving style in Arequipa can be quite aggressive, and it's common for drivers to honk their horns.

Rush hour usually occurs in the morning around 8 am and 9 am and in the evening around 6 am to 7 pm when people are either going to or returning from work. During these times, it is advised to avoid the main roads leading to the city center and residential neighborhoods. During the winter season, landslides and heavy rainfall can lead to road closures and difficult driving conditions in some areas. It is also important to note that some roads outside of the city, particularly those leading to rural areas, may not be well-paved or may be subject to mudslides during the rainy season.
  • Book your rental car in Arequipa at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Intermediate SUV

KAYAK
I made a reservation for an intermediate SUV. At pick up it was not available. I could choose between a smaller regular car or a slightly bigger SUV and pay 100 dollar extra, eventhough the contract says: "or similar". Apparently this doesn't mean much. Also, after 2 days we found your that 2 out of three breaking lights did not work. Can be quite dangerous in Peru. Especially in the dark. Poor maintenance? Staff was very friendly though.

They did not have a Land Cruiser Prado available or anything equivalent, my suspicion is they never had it. Instead they tried to get us to accept a RAV4 which would not have fitted the number of passengers we had

Pesimo servicio, al alquilar la unidad via la pagina web, a pesar que cancele por adelantado el servicio incluyendo kilometraje extra y seguro del auto, me cobraron nuevamente el seguro el cual tuve que pagar al devolver la unidad en Arequipa. Se aprovecharon que no me acorde que el seguro ya lo habia pagado pero la excusa fue que debido que el auto lo alquile via Kayak y no de manera directa por Sixt el seguro me lo tenian que cobrar igual...pesimo servicio, no me solucionaron el problema...a mi como usuario es totalmente transparente por que via adquiero el servicio mas aun si ya cancele al totalidad de este...no recomiendo esta empresa a nadie.
