The type of car you will choose from car rentals in Montevideo depends on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you plan to have with you during your trip. Consider getting an economy rental if you're traveling alone and with two or fewer bags. Economy rentals are usually more affordable than other rental types.

Midsize SUVs can comfortably accommodate groups of up to five people and have enough cargo space.

Parking in Montevideo is easy. Several areas in the city offer free parking by the roadside. You can park a Montevideo car rental in these spaces, provided you do not violate laws regulating parking in the city. You can use these free spaces provided no vertical sign prohibits it. Even though these lots are cheaper, they are often less reliable than regulated parking zones. You can find controlled parking lots in hotel areas or shopping centers. When using the paid lots, expect to pay an hourly rate.
