KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Montevideo
- You can never go wrong with car rentals in Montevideo when visiting Uruguay. Unlike the city's public transportation, which runs on fixed schedules, Montevideo car rentals offer flexibility and convenience when exploring attractions in and around the city. Some top attractions in Montevideo include Theater Solis and Andes Museum. Suppose you're visiting the city for an extended period with a plan to visit several destinations. In that case, you will spend less using a Montevideo car rental than relying on public transportation.
- When flying to Montevideo through Montevideo Carrasco Airport (MVD), you can pick up a ride right from the airport. Car rentals in Montevideo ensure you can book or pick up your rented car upon landing. Thrifty, Dollar, Avis, Sixt, Alamo, National, Europcar, and Puntacar offer on-site car rental services at the airport. They have rental counters in the Arrivals Hall. These rental agencies also provide complimentary shuttle services to their off-airport locations.
- Before taking any car from Montevideo car rentals to the streets, here are a few pointers you should consider. First, driving is generally on the right-hand side of the road. Traffic in the city is usually light, and most drivers move at slow speeds. When driving in Montevideo, you will find that drivers stop frequently when giving pedestrians the right of way. You must always keep your headlights on when driving on inter-city highways. Additionally, the law requires drivers to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times when driving in Montevideo.
- While driving Montevideo car rentals is hassle-free, moving around during rush hour is difficult. Montevideo experiences two rush hour periods, like other major cities and towns. The morning rush hour is usually from 7 am to 9 pm, while the evening rush hour typically lasts from around 5 pm to 7:30 pm. During these hours, routes like CA1, which goes from the city center to La Cruces, and Route 121, which link Ciudad Vieja to Punta Carretas and Pocitos through Centro, get more traffic.

Nov. 2019
Pros:
nothing in particularCons:
There was something wrong between Kayak and Thrifty and when we got there to get our car they did not have any car matching the description and they charged us more to get a better car. And the insurance that we got from your website together with the car rental was NOT accepted!!! Worst experience car rental ever9.6 Wonderful
Nov. 2019
Pros:
Mario was very helpful and patient. Great that we could communicate in English.2.0 Poor
Apr. 2019
Cons:
There wasn't anyone at the to arrange a shuttle or anything. Worst of all, when I manage to make an international call from Uruguay to US from my cell, the company representative was completely useless and offered me to call a local number and deal with it myself ;( Ended up getting a car from Europ8.4 Very good
Mar. 2019
Pros:
Pick up time was changed by phone but was never relayed to the pick up desk, which made pick up delay in over one hour.Cons:
Hard to reach by phone. None of the numbers listed was available and did not answer.2.0 Poor
Sep. 2017
Cons:
They didn't have the van I reserved and I had to get 2 cars and we had to ride with the luggage inside the cars because it did t fit. It was horrible. The cars where super dirty also.2.0 Poor
Mar. 2017
Cons:
I bought the insurance I was offered during the booking process. Since I had that covered, I asked Thrifty NOT to add any insurance on the contract. Since they don't trust any other insurance policy "other than the ones they sell", they request that I provide a credit card where they can BLOCK 7,500 USD (That is seven thousand five hundred dollars!) UN-BELIEVABLE!Dollar

Pros:
nothing!! I did not rent it because my credit card was to new for them!!

Dec. 2018
Pros:
They opened on a Saturday right on time and handled the check-out efficiently, as well as friendly. The return was just as easy. I was briefed on key features of the car as well. The size was perfect.Cons:
The car operated well, with no problems on all sorts of roads, but could have been more fuel efficient. I missed some of the comfort extras, like better seats and cruise control, which are often offered in this same class of car, but perhaps not in Uruguay.3.2 Poor
Jan. 2018
Pros:
Didn't like much other than the price.Cons:
Thought I was getting a deal for the CSR and the money, but then they pulled up for me a Renault Logan, and had an Avis sticker on it vs Budget. That said it was as basic a car as I have seen in a long time. The price was cheap given the week and peak demand. But, it was in poor condition, barely made it up hills, had a notchy clutch, no windshield wiper fluid, and the trunk seal came off upon trying to remove my first piece of luggage. Rental was around 360 for 8-9 days which was quite good, as I was not willing to pay 12-1500+ for a few other rentals, but I would gladly have paid 2-300 more for something better....but was told there were no other options. In general, worst car rental and experience I have ever had9.6 Wonderful
